Bloomburrow Previews Day 2: Possibly My Favorite One-Drop Ever Printed | Mtg 

Also, didn’t they have another spell that turns other things into food.

​@mystdragon8530 yeah one of the Calamity guys makes all other creatures into food.

It works from a rules perspective and a literal flavor perspective. The flavor text is perfect.

Bake into a pie turns creatures to food also

@@schnauzberry4835that’s an instant that destroys a creature and gives the controller a food which is very different. This enchants a creature and says creature ~ is a food ~ but the permanent remains in play. If the enchantment is destroyed the food goes back to being a creature. The food can be bounced and replayed etc. If the enchanted permanent stopped being a creature the enchantment would fall off like if something gains protection so it makes sense that the enchantment can also target food.

Damn good point

And it's an Outlaw too!

Yeah I was about to say that it reads _target opponent_ ,so it can go into the same mono black or grixis crime decks that cards like Tiny Bones Joins Up go into. And it makes it so you can play lands that commit crimes besides just the deserts.

This and the outlaw comment that has been pointed out in another reply. This card is CRAZY good given all the commit a crime stuff we just got that is mostly centered on black cards anyway. that miner self reanimating card? can trigger on landfall of any land instead of just tapped deserts. it can scale up for mid/late game with offspring. we have both the new red class card and the boros gunner from outlaws (pay X, all non combat dmg gets +X until end of turn legendary creature). can easily turn a land drop into just blasts to the face. or just like.....use that simic XX cost card that copies X things X times. now it doesnt need to be a desert land, just copy like 3 lands 3 times, got 2 of these down from offspring? thats 18 dmg. this is one of the best landfall direct damage cards we have seen and it has a lot of promising interactions in standard.

@@connergish9060 The simic XX card you're talking about is Doppelgang. And you wouldn't want to target 3 lands if you have the mana for X=3. You'd instead target the Iridescent Vinelasher and 2 lands. This gives you 4 creatures (3 copies + the original) and 6 landfall triggers each for a total of 24 damage as opposed to 9. If you started with 2 Vinelashers because you Offspringed it, the damage would instead be 18 if you target 3 lands or 30 if you target a creature and 2 lands.

I’m throwing it into every white deck lmao

Like it also. Being the one random weasel in the set is less than optimal

@@christopherlytle7319 I'm guessing it started as a Mouse then turned out too powerful with all the buff effects so they switched it up.

"I play a desert- oops, you lose 12 life" 🤣

First strike is op? Trash take

@@LeonJohnson-yi3hg take it up w mark rosewater

Brambleguard Captain (which is actually depicted in Valley Rally, leading the charge) might not be as good in Standard right now. But, don't underestimate this mouse since this can be quite the top end in Gruul Aggro Decks that don't want to go that big. And that is something we actually need

It does not.

@@JasonOshinko damn but whats one food to a flock of monk tokens

Axonil only works with red sources.

@@tinfoilslacks3750 you're right, gonna have to settle for Bloodletter of Aclazotz.

What do you man "uggg"? It's great, that way it's an outlaw, which fits perfectly with its crime shenanigans.

Nah, I love positive dev 🥰

@jdeaconl me too but it's OK to express diverse emotions

If it could only enchant creatures when the creature became food it would lose the enchantment and return to being the creature. It only works as a card, mechanically, if it can also target Food (or artifacts in general but they likely thought that made it too powerful)

@@STS-qi1qy ah so it's a targeting issue. Still seems dumb.

@@randy5606 It's not dumb. It literally would not function otherwise. When an aura says "enchant creature" and the object it's attached to is no longer a creature, the Aura falls off when state based actions are checked. It's not so that you can target a Food with it (although you could), it's so that Aura doesn't fall off the creature you've turned into a Food.

@@JasonOshinko yes I understand it's just dumb it needs to be added. I feel like there could be a better way to phrase it that doesn't sound dumb.
