I was honestly waiting for it lol

The word is "segue". A segway is an electric scooter.

It is crazy with everything xd

Too busy challenging the huge amount of new incredibly cool cards

Simp

I like how this implied all simic players are sick.

​@@that-one-genz7835we are

​@@that-one-genz7835take Simic and rearrange it. It spells "I'm Sic(k)". Coincidence? 🤔🧐

​@@edwardjrackleyshe's pretty bad tbh. I just changed around 40-50 cards of the precon and made it a Dina, Souls Steeper deck

I know I'm 4 months late but the reason they use and/or is so creatures that are both an artifact and a creature don't count twice. If you had the smithy, the token (an artifact creature), and a nonartifact creature then the token would be a 3/3 Tl;dr it's counting the total number of permanents you control that meet either type

I nice need to make a mono Red deck just from knowing all I've gotta do is exist. Sounds Bonkers!!

That literally only works if you play strangers every time. I only play with friends, so the shock factor would only work once or twice

Fairly it’s kinda cool, it goes infinite way too easy tho, including being a one card combo with too many commanders

I really like Fiend Hunter creatures, but I never run them because a 2/2 can't attack or block profitably while holding a creature hostage. Annex Sentry lets you really lock down the early game by not just hitting artifacts in addition to creatures, but also by being an absolute UNIT. It reminds me a lot of Opportunistic Dragon in those respects. It even comes with the additional upside of working well in a Mono-White Mite aggro-y control shell I built to fiddle around with in Standard. It holds an Infested Fleshcutter really well, and I can bounce it back to my hand with Indoctrination Attendant if I want to switch targets.

Botanical Brawler, what's not to love? Turn 1 Hopeful Initiate into turn 2 BB is a real clock that your opponent is forced to answer, and it gets really out of hand in my Hanza, Guardian of Arashin deck.

Aftermath is, like you said, slim pickin's, but Jolrael is a whole lot of fun to run as a commander. I love animating my lands, so turning them into a hand-matters flyer that does a Curiosity is such a flavorful and fun ability. Seriously, try it out. I'm not even a Simic player. As a matter of fact, it was my first Simic deck ever.

Palantir of Orthanc is everything I love about Black cards, so it's an honorary Black card. It's just full of really interesting choices as both the pilot and the one staring it down. I have no idea why people enjoy The One Ring more. Is it a power level thing? Palantir of Orthanc is my pick for card of the year.

Likeness Looter would be good enough as a flying Faerie looter. I have no idea why they thought it needed to Lazav as well, but I'm by no means complaining. The card is sweet in self-mill, where it can very quickly turn into a checkmate copying Voices of the Lost from your yard.

congats, you ruined the joke.

Thank you for fixing, it was driving me nuts.

It's just not the same if I weren't there to give permission!

I was going to write the same thing. Being able to cycle away a second copy of a legendary artifact is excellent. Even for EDH I'm not sure the cycling's useless. I don't think it's much of a stretch to imagine some desperation plays where you're behind and need anything else, or you're just frantically digging for that removal or counter.

We'll see you there

I see ward on a card and I just imagine the designers doing a Christopher Walkin impression, “It’s still missing something… It needs more cowbell [power creep]”.

It says another creature, otherwise it would.

true, my bad

very weird comment

... Legit hadn't considered that as a possibility. I don't understand the rules nearly enough to confirm either way, but you're definitely right that that's worth checking.
