Ikoria Spoilers

[Morganator 2.0]

If you control Luminous Broodmoth and Ozolith, and then a creature with a flying counter dies, the creature will stay in the graveyard and Ozolith will get a flying counter.

Helica Glider is cute and all, but, sigh..... I guess the strange hateboner for Squirrels at WOTC (minus Rosewater) continues (minus silver bordered). I guess they're still "t00 silly" and don't "fit mah lore" for people... even though we just had a fairy tale plane and.... looks at the creature types lately.... yeah.

My heart, my soul.

Yeah, even the flavor text on that one is rough. Maybe next time we'll get "Even More Deranged Hermit."

I would honestly be fine with that. WOTC is sprinkling in various tribes that rarely see the light of day, in standard no less, without much support for the tribe lately. I'm not sure how far back this goes, but I started playing again right before Aether Revolt and have noticed a pattern. There is also many options to print into the supplement sets like commander pre-cons and master sets. Heck, we got Deep Forest Hermit recently and I loved it even if a literal carbon copy with minimal differences.

Holy shit, Jegantha seems like a potentially fantastic companion. Wonder how many hours till this one gets banned.

It goes infinite with *drumroll* Freed from the Real! (And Pemmin's Aura if you use it as the Commander and not a companion.) Hey look at that, another infinite mana untapper combo bullshit card!

It's broken with Jodah, Archmage Eternal. (Anything, really.)
It's broken with Horde of Notions. (Elemental Aristocrats)
It's broken with Fist of Suns.

All do require Orochi Leafcaller to produce blue as well but a rainbow deck doesn't lack tutors so that's a non-issue.

"Drannith Healer"
1W
Creature - Human Cleric
Whenever you cycle a card, you gain 1 life.

Cycling 1 (1, discard this card: Draw a card.)

As mentioned, when do we see the ban on Elk Daddy J? If Otter Jesus died for our sins within seconds, isn't this more toxic by proxy of it's own ability and scenarios outlined above by others?

Zirda is a cute fox and would go really well in Kenrith - yay for more redundancy.

Song Of Creation has beautiful art. You might not want to drop it right away, but as long as you're not facing mill, I feel it combos well with Library Of Leng if you have the patience to arrange your hand back on top of your library at the end of your turn. Though it does create a shields down scenario, so maybe it's equally "taxed" for what it does. Could be good in Xyris.

"Of One Mind"
2U
Sorcery
This spell costs 2 less to cast if you control a Human creature and a non-Human creature.

Draw two cards.

THE RETURN OF BRUSHWAGGS!!

[Aetherium Slinky]

As mentioned, when do we see the ban on Elk Daddy J?

It's not really that oppressing. Zaxara is way worse. I don't think it (neither) will get banned at all. These cards aren't going to warp the format - unlike Lutri.

[WWolfe]

One thing that jumps out at me is we've not seen any lands for the main set spoiled yet. Wonder why.
