Firebending is a perfect example of UB done right. Firebending gives you mana when a creature attacks, but it has to be used right away. It pairs perfectly with an old (from Alpha!) Magic: the Gathering mechanic, Firebreathing, that converts that mana into power. Inhale, exhale.

Uncle Iroh: "No. Power in firebending comes from the breath, not the muscles. The breath becomes energy in the body, the energy extends past your limbs and becomes fire!"

Played Battlestar Galactica for the first time in maybe 10 years. Still one of my favorites of all time. Such a good connection between theme and mechanics.

Tbh having access to more lands by driving to them makes more thematic sense to me than, say, reading a fairy tale about a Forest

Tolkien specifically disliked allegory, so nothing in his work was intended as a direct stand-in. But he encouraged us as readers to find applicability in his work and there is certainly something here along those lines!

"I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse ‘applicability’ with ‘allegory’; but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author." J.R.R. Tolkien, second forward to the Lord of the Rings

Duelist's Heritage lets you hit twice (and get two rounds of voting) with Tivit. Plus it's fun to give your opponents creatures double strike in combats where they're not attacking you. You can also play blink effects like Parting Gust to protect him and also get another vote.
