Twitching Doll creates a spider for EACH counter. It doesn't specify just nest counters. So as a manadork in a deck filled with +1/+1 counters or ability counters, it has a leg up over llanowar elves as it is an army in a can. Bloomburrow's art looks amazing, it's making me look for an option to just buy 1 card each in the entire set to use for D&D purposes.

21:59 the first part Screaming Nemesis is worded like Boros Reckoner; it has to be dealt damage to deal damage to your opponent and stop them from gaining life, it’s not linked to dealing combat damage. So if it’s blocked, or it gets dealt damage by say Lightning Bolt or Blasphemous Act, then you can redirect the damage to your opponent and then they can’t gain life.

Foundations smells an awful lot like Hearthstone’s own core set system. For paper it should be a handy way to get people with older collections to have a way to get into standard more easily but for arena it could be incredible if they also do the hearthstone thing of just giving you the entire list of core set cards for free. No packs, no slot machine or having to waste wildcards. Just free.

I don't lay Hearthstone, but I really wish Wizards would adopt their own dusting mechanic and give us wildcards in packs instead of gems when rares and mythics are capped out. In the long run, they'd see much better turnaround in profit.

To slow things down the bit it needs to be challenged daily so it takes the time to be more present in processing new experiences. Being present is the key and through the struggle of growth or in the experience of pain or discomfort (like weightlifting) does the brain tend to be more attuned to the present moment I've found.

Honestly it might be fine. So long as they're not really printing any format warping cards in them, nothing with too crazy an effect that is feasibly playable, then having a proper foundation to work out multiple formats should mean they get to properly tinker with standard sets in interesting ways. Especially if it's just a reprint set, it should be fine and they shouldn't need to take it back.

A thought I just had about the Foundations set for standard, is that it really frees up set design a lot when you're designing the set for standard, because a lot of the nuts and bolts sort of cards that make a format run are just, sort of, already there, so, in theory, they can use that space in the sets for more cool thematic designs instead of having to shovel in Disenchant, let's say, into a set that didn't need it for limited, just so it would be standard legal.

Nowhere to Run just feels like WotC taking Bogles out of the hospital ward where they've been on life support for the past few/several years, and tossing their broken body in the street to be run over by a steamroller. Like damn, a Last Gasp that can not only target hexproof/ward creatures with impunity, but also sticks around as an enchantment to permanently remove those effects is a very large middle finger to various hexproof/ward strategies that could crop up. Like, the fact that you can use this to murder basically any 1 or 2 drop (sometimes even 3, at least in standard) and then it sticks around on the battlefield to hate on future ward/hexproof creatures and/or be blinked or sacrificed for value (since it is a piece of material that actually stays on the battlefield) is pretty wild.

As an old school Magic player, I remember when white bordered sets (Core sets), were basically the same reprints over and over again so that the same staples were always in Standard.

[@AlterationA]

From a design perspective, Omniscience is a very good educational card for someone just learning Magic. As a new player, you see this very heavy and restrictive cost and then look down at its effect and it makes you think "this is powerful!". But established players know that the cost is a bit of a hoop and you still need the correct resources (cards in hand), to make full use of its effect, which is why it isn't always format dominating. But when you learn about more advanced concepts like "cheating things into play", "cost reduction", and basic level ramping or combos, you can broaden a new player's perspective by showing the less obvious things the card is capable of.

Doomsday Excruciator can work well with reanimate decks or something like Dredge, I'd say? You suddenly just got the whole deck in your graveyard and can abuse all your cards! Impending is really good thanks to the card already beeing on the board and not suffering from summoning sickness, so you can attack the turn the last counter is gone! ;) Oh, and the counter get taken off during the END STEP which makes it a lot stronger than during your upkeep!

[@chartypeplays2396]

I actually liked how ward has been used in recent sets. Yes it makes removal more difficult to use, but no one wants to play big creatures if they're just going to get killed by a 2-mana removal spell and ward makes them line up better without full-on giving them hexproof. My only problem was in Murders at Karlov Manor where the overabundance of "cannot be countered" cards kind of made it kind of not mean anything and negated all the other design decisions around ward. If most of the removal cards ignore ward anyway, then what's the point? The one place I really like "cannot be countered" is on expensive removal spells to make them less terrible and ensure that you can cast them once you have enough mana. So anyway, I have mixed feelings about Nowhere to Run being such a good ward hate card that's also just a decent removal spell. It's probably a good thing, especially to give decks a way to deal with some of the stranger ward costs, like "collect evidence".

Finally, we exile Twitching Toy with Soul Cauldron, giving its ability to our Millennium Calendar.

So this is super niche, but looking at swan my mind goes (other than that I think it's jut a perfectly fine card to play fairly) is to murmuring mystic. Notably, swan does not say 'nontoken'. This lets you do some rather fun things. So the first time you cast a spell with both on the battlefield, you can exile mystic and give it flying. Every time after you can flicker any other creature you have, potentially gaining value or stifling removal. This is especially stupid when you combine it with things like ephemerate which can reset flying counters, or snapcaster that lets you chain extra spells. So you are then having snapcaster enter, give you a spell, mystic trigger into swan trigger, exile snapcaster, EOT snapcaster re-enters with flying and lets you flashback a second time. That second flashback gives you another swan trigger, so if you have a random (say) thraben inspector you also just got another clue, and your snapcaster has evasion, and you have a bunch of bird tokens. If you want to go full combo, things like gravity well can lead to creatures with flying counters losing flying, and so being able to be re-flickered. I don't know if this is good enough to make it playable, but I think if you want to break this card you have to treat it like winota- in that deck, you want human creatures that make nonhuman tokens. In this, you gain value by having creatures without flying that make bird tokens. Now, it's nowhere near the power level of that card (if for no other reason than not many cards fit this bill), but I would be interested to see what Seth can come up with using this interaction.

While the unveiling of three new sets sounds very taxing, especially on our collective wallets, I'm really excited for future standard, especially that MTGF won't rotate for a long time. Also, Llanowar Elves coming back is big. Day of Judgment, too. Foundations I believe is giving us a cycle of Planeswalkers, too. Considering they're limiting them in expansions, having a cycle that lasts until 2029 makes sense. Hoping for an Ob Nixilis reprint! Bloomburrow reminds me of the early days of Lorwyn and Eldraine blended together. Each color combination getting a typal is going to brew some fresh ideas. Hoping we get Pathways reprinted or an awesome new cycle of lands. As a die-hard fan of horror movies, Duskmourn is MY type of set.

...what the hell?? Isn't the point if standard to have rotation?? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have a general Core Set back. But I WANT them to rotate. I'm personally in the camp of enjoying three year standard, but there are definitely some cards that have started to overstay their welcome with the three year rotation like the Kamigawa Channel Lands, Cappenna Triomes and Fetches, Graveyard Trespasser, and Raffine. Having a set of cards that are staying around for even longer just kinda sucks.

22:24 the way the card is worded implies you need to deal damage by using its first ability (having it take damage) so you cant just get the "can't gain life for the rest of the game" emblem on your opponent by just hitting them with it.

[@ReyosBlackwood]

19:15 Worth noting that unlike most extra combat step cards, FOMO only untaps one creature, so unless you have a lot of vigilance or are doing something exalted or other attack trigger/hit effects the second combat is going to be a lot more lackluster

[@gaminggeckos4388]

25:16 Just run both of them together! Now anytime ANYONE draws a card, your opponent loses 2 life!

[@greysonmiller9407]

Pretty insane powercreep coming from Duskmourn. Lots of relevant or at least semi relevant effects on cheap to cast cards.

Nowhere to run to fight the new wanderer card

Excruciator -> campfire will give you a longer lifeline than your opponents

[@MisterZalem]

twitching doll is going to be used with shelob, child of ungoliant....im already seeing the combo going hard mid game. EDIT: also, the demon is going to be seeing altar of dementia ALOT

I hope that they print some good evergreen emergency pressure relief cards in this Foundations thing. What I mean is cards that can hate on particular strategies if they become over popular in the meta. I mean a hate card that's not good enough to be in your main deck unless something like 33+% of the meta is playing that strategy. Just so as a given strategy gets too over popular the hate cards start showing up in the main deck and not just the sideboard. (Meaning that is has to be a hate card that not just stone unplayable if you don't end up in the 33% of matches that are the targeted strategy. Maybe it's a very over-costed red creature that destroys all artifacts when it ETBs, for example.)

Yo I think you misread screaming nemesis? That card is absolutely cracked, medium red/gruel monsters style decks are gonna go crazy, tbh might even be modern playable vs new soul sisters/ruin your evening decks

[@s0ns0ns0n]

I’m- so excited about bloomburrow coming out.

[@michaelsimao495]

Duskmourn looks really cool but also spooky as heck like if i lived there first omen path out of there please

[@pneuma08]

Base sets are back on the menu! They just had to change the name a bit, for marketing reasons I guess.

[@alpha34098]

My reactions when i see Twitching Doll: Ah great, another Agatha Soul Cauldron combo on the works

[@animeandrice9664]

I’m so ready for lightning bolt to be in foundations copium

[@mattdalenberg7153]

Excruciator is for. Reanimate decks its a cast trigger not a etb trigger so the extra draw will be very good if brought bk cheaply which the newest sets released tones of reanimate cards
