This and Twilight Princess seemed to go for the gritty style of the time, so I like what they are going for here to keep in line with that. It reminds me of that WiiU tech demo from a decade ago and then Gamecube one from before that

Little did we know he was talking about AI. And while I agree with most of the arguments against AI being used to build video games, I don't think the vast majority of people will care. I'm not saying making those arguments, but we need an additional approach that emphasizes a better alternative too

The commander for that deck gets power from 1/1 creatures, so if you can get Elspeth to crank out a bunch of 1/1 soldiers, Zinnia will get super strong. Then at 7+ loyalty you can get the emblem giving you a super strong Zinnia and a bunch of flying 3/3 soldiers!

Zinnia, Valley's Voice
{U}{R}{W}
Legendary Creature — Bird Bard

Flying

Zinnia gets +X/+0, where X is the number of other creatures you control with base power 1.

Creature spells you cast have offspring {2}. (You may pay an additional {2} as you cast a creature spell. If you do, when that creature enters, create a 1/1 token copy of it.)

My floors are pretty old and starting to rot. A contractor quotes $15k to tear them out and install new hardwood. We decided to give the peel and stick vinyl a try and honestly it looks great! We'll see how it goes after a month to do the rest of the floor, but this only cost me $90 for the one box

I can't speak to balance or meta, but I hate seeing this commander. But damn is it satisfying to beat them

Indestructible

Whenever Kotis deals combat damage to a player, exile the top X cards of their library, where X is the amount of damage dealt. You may cast any number of spells with mana value X or less from among them without paying their mana costs.

I just got into MTG but this card alone made me more interested in Aetherdrift! Built my first non precon commander deck with them. I hope we see more of the Guidelight in the future

Mendicant Core, Guidelight

Legendary Artifact Creature — Robot

Mendicant Core’s power is equal to the number of artifacts you control.

Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.)

Max speed — Whenever you cast an artifact spell, you may pay {1}. If you do, copy it. (The copy becomes a token.)

Whenever a nontoken artifact creature you control deals combat damage to a player, that player gets two poison counters. (A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game.)
