Been 15 seconds since the last set came out so here's a new one!

Probably worse than Sprite Dragon, but interesting at least, I guess, with Baubles.
Also, Clue themed cards?

It's part of a UB with literally the game of Clue, so yes. Clue themed (in more ways than one)
It's like poetry: it rhymesQuote:

I expect writing of a similar exalted quality.
Will Colonel Mustard be a Legendary Human Soldier?
If they print a good version of Tim Curry I might actually be tempted to get back into EDH
Been spoiled and yes, but he switched to the navy so it's Commander nowQuote:

Commander Mustard
Legendary Creature Human Soldier
5/5
Vigilance
Other Soldiers you control have vigilance, trample, haste
2RW: Until end of turn, Soldiers you control gain "whenever this creature attacks, it deals 1 damage to defending player"
Doesn't that Drake actually work best with Arcbound Ravager in an affinity shell, where you're basically doubling the number of +1/+1 counters and getting a flyer for Plating? Plus it counts as 2 mana for Affinity thanks to the Clue.Quote:

Yeah, most probably. I just wanted to get the ball rolling on a thread, so I didn't really give it much thought.Quote:

CC is a hard ask in ravagerQuote:

Maybe build like:
4x Arcbound Ravager
4x Ornithopter
4x Gleaming Drake
4x Frogmite
4x Thought Monitor
1x Retrofitter Foundry
4x Thoughtcast
4x Galvanic Blast
3x Shrapnel Blast
4x Springleaf Drum
4x Mox Opal
4x Great Furnace
4x Seat of the Synod
4x Urza's Saga
And then you've still got 8 slots left for whatever else you want, like Platings or Tombs or Needles or Petals or something. This also mgiht be a deck where you'd want disciple of the vault
It doesn't really do anything without sac outlet or something the deck can't do already so I don't see why it's worth considering.
The only way I think this could see play if it wasn't an artifact so it doesn't crap out to Meltdown or Boseiju.
There's always Atog to fill in as the extra non artifact sac outletQuote:

4 Lotus Petal

4 Mishra's Bauble
4 Urza's Bauble
4 Thoughtcast
4 Thought Monitor
2 Sai, Master Thopterist
3 Emry, Lurker of the Loch
3 Kappa Cannoneer
4 Gleaming Geardrake
4 Urza's Saga
There's probably a deck there somewhere.
Looks great, but probably better without the geardrakes...Quote:

Good synergy with Sai, which makes another free artifact per Bauble and has a clue-like draw
Replaces itself, albeit slowly
Pitches to FoW
Is that enough to make it into 8-cast? Don't know. But it has potential as another growing evasive threat like Kappa.
The clear comparison is Patchwork Automaton, which does see play. Drake flies, pitches to fow, and comes with extra permanents/ca vs the tempo of ward and ancient tomb synergy.
I think it’s close enough to be comparable.
Illusionary mask is back, baybe!
https://mythicspoiler.com/mkm/cards/...cperformer.jpg
I see face-down creatures needed the help not dying as fast
I'd figure Scroll of Fate or some wild Chrome Host Seedshark build is more likely over Illusionary Mask itself, but anything to get me to resleeve the Dreadnoughts
Alas, Expose the Culprit only turns creatures with disguise face down, otherwise it would fit in that deck too.Quote:

This seems good for the cost
One nice thing about is that Flash creatures get extra value on your opponent's turn.Quote:

I'm having a hard time seeing the value. Can you describe a situation where that card would be good?Quote:

When you commit cards as tricks to cost opponent 1 card in hand (the removal spell, played proactively), you have to justify why you're up on jank, up on mulls, down on mana security, and down on proactive interaction/disruption.
My first thoughts were D&T, since outside of maybe Flickerwisp every creature is castable so it's just a +1 card in hand.Quote:

Then the most magic christmasland answer was cast Assemble the Players into Predict into Snapcaster Mage off the top of the library into Predict again.
Is Goblin Recruiter finally unbanned yet?
Edit: Dwarves can cast free changelings with Dwarven Recruiter piles, but Realmwalker already does better.
Actually Assemble is pretty terrible compared to Realmwalker unless you're mono W and spread across many tribes (D&T).

Seems interesting enough. Double SFM, Recruiter, Skyclave triggers, does some stupid shit with Charming Prince as well.
Edit: This looks pretty hilarious in Soul Sisters since it quadruples your grow triggers - twice the lifegain and twice the grow triggers.
T1: Soul Sister
T2: Voice of the Blessed (3/3) or Karlov of the Ghost Council (4/4)
T3: Delney, swing - Voice would be a 7/7 vigiliance flyer, Karlov would be a 12/12.
Throw in some T1 Aether Vials to speed up things even more. With another Soul Sister or Bowmasters vialed in on T3, Karlov could become a swinging 22/22 and Voice a 11/11 vigiliance flyer. Not saying this would be Legacy-viable, but the amount of power it could generate in a short time should be noteworthy.
If assemble the players and snapcaster mage are in the same deck, there is a deckbuilding issue.Quote:

But if you cast Bowmasters after, you ping 2 & amass 2. Then 4 Soul Sister triggers & 8 Karlov counters. If you had a way to remove the 1/1 army in between Bowmaster triggers, then 6 Soul Sister triggers & 12 Karlov counters.
Esper Sentinel lol...Quote:

Charming Prince, flicker 2 creatures, both double trigger
Mono white Ancestral Recall stompy
Edit: Preeminent Captain attacks with pseudo-evasion, playing for free Recruiter of the Guard (double trigger: tutor Enlistment Officer + Charming Prince) and Enlistment Officer (draw all Soldiers from top 8). Postcombat Charming Prince flickering Recruiter & Officer -> run out of creatures in library, discard to hand size, go.
Can go from Delney + Captain + 1 card in hand to 10+ creatures in hand.
They really power creeped morphsQuote:

That's actually pretty cool and can be used as early as T2 if you play out Preeminent Captain on T1 with acceleration (at least the combat triggers, not the follow up). It doesn't necessarily have to be Officer - it could also be Thalia, GoT to disrupt combo or Palace Jailer to clear the way and get Monarch. That's powerful and quite flexible.Quote:

Edit: Nevermind, opposing fatties can't block the weenies due to the second ability of Delney.
They save it up for later when we get Megadisguise.Quote:

But without Delney it's just a bunch of dorks smaller than Delver's 1 cmcs.
To offset that the deck needs to be high in removal. 4 Solitude and some March of Otherworldly Light can convert that extra card draw into tempo+removal to stay ahead on board when needed. Palace Jailer & Skyclave Apparition are great too, tutorable with Recruiter and doubling up with Delney.
There should be some viable deck there. Delney has so much synergy with good triggered abilities you already want to play.
