Answer:

Yes it’s power 2 or less, sometimes called Daunt behind the scenes but it’s never been officially keyworded

You got 4/6! missing Vigilance and Combat damage from your creatures can’t be prevented

Just a big ol’ pile of very specific abilities

Such a great one, the details of pillars being melded Phyrexians is great, and brings some of that old-school Phyrexian horror that got toned down on other cards in this set

Yeah my main feeling about these bans was “good riddance”

Yeah it feels like they really searched their archives for some old arts to use for the cards. Seems like they did the same thing for some of the characters, I’m so happy to see the Weaver King get a card, he was such a great antagonist in Planar Chaos

I remember playing it in Standard UW God-Pharoah’s Gift that was the scourge of my LGS. In my defense I told them to play more artifact destruction/graveyard hate. Made me really love this card for how good it was at hand filtering early game and how it became serious card advantage late game

Same, I’m totally obsessed with Duskmourn’s lore and wish there was more of it. Only wish they’d redesign some of the tackiness with the survivors/tech so that it makes more sense with the worldbuilding

All three of the in-universe sets for 2027 feel like absolute bangers, and given the focus on them with the trailers it feels like WotC is trying to apologize for all the UB lately. Of course, there’s still 3 UB sets planned next year so not like they’re actually gonna change anytime soon

So we’ve got the classic Craterhoof Behemoth

White has Moonshaker Cavalry

Red now has this

Does Cyberdrive Awakener count for Blue?

And I wonder what would Black’s version of this effect would be? Creatures in graveyard maybe?

Drawing 3 cards per turn cycle seems pretty good, feels like it was designed especially for Commander

This seems… good? I wonder if this plus the 2 mana Ajani and 1 mana Lili means we’ll see a Standard lifegain deck take off

Hmmm, Garruk’s Uprising that also creates a 4/4 Beast and untaps lands if it sticks around. Probably too slow for Standard but wonder if this can find a place in Commander

This such a fun little nod to Magic’s history. The ability seems pretty interesting too but I can see it does seem to lean towards “steal and sac” very easily
