It’s a shame they didn’t add more targets to this spell for Hinata, but 5 mana for all of this is still a pretty good deal. Outside of commander formats though, this feels like maybe a limited bomb, but way too expensive for lots of random things in standard.
I hope it ends up being a new Magma Opus though and sees a little play. Magma Opus did have the discard for a treasure ability though, and it could tap lands.
Another card that combos with Scourge of the Skyclaves? Sounds interesting.
(Negative power creatures have a fun property of, well, being negative power when calculating total power. Having a high life total means you can bring back your whole GY as long as you bring back the scourge too.)
At first, I misread this thinking a single 5c dragon was enough to win the game with this. Needing 5 dragons is a lot though (especially with the color restrictions).
The other effects are nice, but this enchantment is just too expensive imo. Indestructible doesn’t do much when exile-based removal is so common, and the +1/+1 counters are too slow to come out and not worth the mana.
Maybe some deck finds a way to combo with this, but needing to untap with 5 dragons and not already be winning the game is going to be tough.
I don’t believe the CR has been updated yet for mobilize, but if it works similar to the reminder text and just adds that triggered ability, then I believe yes you could stack the triggers so the Cactuar grows first and then you create 10k attacking creatures (even if the Cactuar dies before mobilize resolves but after it grows due to last known info).
Life from the loam reference?
The last thing I want to do with complete strangers is give them my phone number lol. Aside from obvious privacy concerns and call quality concerns, Discord is internet-based, so I don’t need cell service or international calling to talk to people.
Screen sharing during voice calls is super helpful as well. It’s a pretty major feature of Discord, Teams, and I believe Skype (RIP), but Teams is not really any better than Discord and a lot more bloated.
Discord comes with other issues, but I would be fine with services offering an ad-supported free tier and an ad-free paid tier. That’s been a thing for a while. If Nitro gets rid of these ads, then that seems like a possibly sustainable approach to me.
Of course, this is ignoring Discord’s other issues, like their handling of user data. I’d love a service like Discord that was fully e2ee, even if it had an ad-supported free tier (without tracking) and a paid ad-free tier. Existing alternatives often lack some Discord features, like screen sharing and voice chats.

If I’m reading this right, exiling the card from the GY in response also causes this card to deal 0 damage? Unless it uses last-known information or something, not too sure on the rules here.
Someone close to me gave up on the hotlines in the US and now just uses ChatGPT. It’s no therapist, but at least it’ll hold a conversation. If only the hotlines here weren’t so absurdly understaffed.
That might actually make it worse to be honest. If it made a target spell uncounterable, the spell could be countered again in response. That would make this land basically a super specialized, repeatable Counterspell.
Usually you know when you want a spell to resolve (wrath, commander, wincon, etc) so this lets you prepare for that. In brawl, I would expect this land to be a very strong land even.
The main issue I have with it is actually standard, where counterspells already suck, and paying 2 additional mana to prevent something that’s already unlikely will be way too slow for most decks to actually compete. Maybe some mill deck might play a copy for mirror matches to resolve Jace or something. Otherwise, Cavern of Souls does this for free in a lot of decks. If/when that rotates out, this might see some real play.
This feels like a good alternative to Fountainport if some deck in these colors wanted to run more value lands. You don’t even need to sacrifice the colored mana production. You lose the card draw of course, but this isn’t a colorless land so you can run both together.
I wouldn’t be surprised if people tried running this card. This and the blue Temur land both seem like they might be playable from what I’ve seen so far.
Not really sure if I’d play this particular land, but WOTC really hates counterspells these days.
Interesting. I didn’t notice this was all errata’d. I think the legendary answer makes sense as well then.
Creatures referring to themselves almost always do so by name. Usually when they say “this creature”, it’s because the ability was added through some other means. For example, a token might be created with an ability that says “this creature”, or an equipment might grant an ability that does that.
In all cases when a card refers to itself by name, it means “this object” though so there’s no difference between the two. The only time the name matters is when the card specifically refers to the name of a card, like in Approach of the Second Sun.
Cultivate fetches for any basic lands, not just forests. It also goes to the GY, which is usually better than back in the deck.
This still feels extremely playable in mono-green brawl decks though.
Kinda strange that Tesla advertises them as electric vehicles when they burn so much gasoline. In my opinion, they should be fined for false advertising.
I have a 16 with a discrete GPU. Couldn’t recommend it more. It does sound like a rocket ship sometimes, but performs like a midrange tower, which is exactly what I wanted.
So Florida is officially Frostpunk now? I’m curious if they’ll go for safe jobs or all jobs for children. It also sounds like they’re picking up emergency shifts. It’s not a bad strategy to be honest, especially for the early game.
