Getting around to peppering story elements in cards now.

This kinda sucks. Is there a reason for that? For example, Reclaim has been printed as a common in Magic Origins and before that in M12.

­Noxious Revival on the other hand...

Yeah, Noxious Revival was what I was thinking of and I misremembered it as a Sorcery. I wanted a regrowth effect but a fairly weak one... I think I'll just adjust this to be similar to Nature's Spiral instead.

Now strictly better Nature's Spiral. I don't think that card made any significant waves, so this hopefully shouldn't either.

A bit risqué for my tastes. Perhaps {g}{g}? You could also go along the lines of Pulse of Murasa for this one.

Hm. I can buy {g}{g}. Pulse of Murasa was quite a good card though, so it's tempting to add a rider... I'll test it at {g}{g} and if green needs a little more of a push I'll bump it down to {1}{g}. Given that Grapple with the Past exists, I'm not particularly interested in a "creature or land" version.

Also rreturning a noncreature card that you can cast for other stuff seems to be nice.
