    Just want to point out that you can Chain of Vapor your own Manabase for lots of Magecraft triggers.

    Probably better in Vintage and EDH where you can generate Mana by bouncing your Moxes.

    Could be really good anyway, Chain IS a good card on its own!

    This is probably janky, but does this guy combo with Nourrishing Shoal (or any other shoal) + a fatty ?

    They annouced this a while ago but yeah. I feel super alientated from the game with this change and the expanded universe they're planning.

    That a little bit over the top :)
    Just play magic, it's still the same game!
    who ever cared about flavor anyway?

    During the video they were explicit that they're all reprints except this card which will be in MH2.
    it will be legal on arena (Historic) once the set goes live, but not in Modern until it's offical first printing in MH2.

    Pretty sure the randomise was just because it doesn't require an extra interaction in digital.
    It's the same as when thy changed Ajani's Pridemate to be mandatory, to have less manual confirmations.
    A lot of cards in recent years have been templated to reduce the number of player interactions to smooth digital play and I'm sure they stated that numerous times.
    Why they change it now is anyone's guess.

    Honestly, the fact that "any" is less characters than "random" given how much text is already on that card could even be the answer here, if they really wanted to put that flavor text for whatever reason.

    We should respond by referring to prices as "cash value."

    The interactions with flusterstorm could easily make a fair storm deck. Ponder, daze, bauble, fluster, fluster is 14 triggers on t3.

    If you go through the pain of flustering properly you should even get ponder to resolve.

    Re: Strixhaven (Back to School[s of Magic] this April)

    If you keep the deck to minimal fetches you could also use the prophecy cycle of land-pitch spells to keep going maybe.

    Not sure if Baubles would fit such a deck since you want instants and sorceries. Daze and Flusterstorm alongside cantrips are good since they're good on their own in most cases. Now they just happen to randomly produce absurd value.

    Question is, are there any other good, cheap spells that produce alot of copies or are recastable? Aside from Retrace, there's also Replicate, but the later seems kinda niche and mana-intensive.

    Could Dragonsguard Elite be played in delver like decks? It would be obviously competing with Tarmogoyf. Advantages are not affected to graveyard hate, disadvantages are that you have to build it before becoming a big threat. But at least it has 2 toughness against Plague engineer.

    How good are counters at protecting the combo, though? You do lose your hand when going off, so your opponents could wait and do their thing after you are hellbent. That's something to keep in mind when designing the deck.

    I would probably run something like Uro as a back-up plan, especially with GSZ present.

    I thought it was a joke when I first saw it. It looks like an actual photograph pasted onto the picture. I haven't liked the realistic style of most of Magic art over the past decade, but this is ridiculous. (I really like the style of the other cards of this type though.)

    Edit: It looks like the artist did the same thing with Harmonize:
