2020-01-13 16:24:48: Alex commented on Mirror of Wishes

The key item of Mirror Magic. Powerful, innovative, highly plot-relevant, a slam-dunk mythic.

Works like a mix between Treasure Map and Altar of Shadows: you start off by just exiling a few cards and charging up a bit (proliferate helps this stage go faster). Then you either get enough mana to start zapping things, and it only gets cheaper from there; or you get up to 5 charge and this is effectively an Urza's Blueprints. Interacts with the proliferate and mill themes in the set as well.

Inexorably powerful, as suits a mythic; but doesn't do much on the actual turn you cast it unless you have 11 mana.

Common land cycle. Extending the old Invasion Tinder Farm cycle to enemy colours.

I need to get down to 8 rare artifacts/colourless, and I'm currently at 10. Those break up as:

Pseudo-creatures:
- Celestial Totem - only usable in a white deck. Best in a white deck with several cheap enchantments and ideally some cheap creatures too. Huge Melvin appeal as a reference to the Weatherseed Totem cycle (see Weatherseed Treefolk) and Celestial Ancient. Marginal plot relevance.
- Draconequus Doll - The only actual creature in the bunch, and not much of a creature really, but fun get-things-moving chaos card that works nicely with scry effects. Might contribute to ground stalls maybe?
- Salvaged Wreck - Plays the role of the big stompy rare artifact creature. Seems more plot-relevant than it is? As in it only actually appears in two shorts, but the band The Rainbooms are massively important.
Amulets:
- Amulet of Magic and Amulet of Empathy - part of a 7-card cycle; must stay.
Others:
- Reserve Rack - A nifty tweak on Masterwork of Ingenuity that works with the mill theme. Semi-works with the legendary equipment.
- Strionic Amplifier - Solid interesting rare for a moderately Song-heavy deck. References a fun gizmo from the climax to Rainbow Rocks.
- Twilight’s Blueprints - Powerful scry-type effect and flexible build-around for an enchantment-heavy deck, or an artifact-heavy deck, or a creature-heavy deck.
- Faculty Lot - I've cut the rest of the cards that care about Vehicles, but this one I think stands alone nicely. It's a great reference to a running joke in Forgotten Friendship, a nice commentary on the difference between the human and pony worlds, a powerful include in any red or white deck with any Vehicles.
- Crystal Cavern - This is a straight upgrade to Crystal Quarry which is no bad thing. It enables splashing anything up to and including Sunset Seraph once you get to six lands. Plot-wise it's a distinctly relevant location in the fourth film.

deactivate. doesn't do much except maybe fix colours for Sunset Seraph
2020-01-13 00:26:16: Alex edited Crystal Rainboom:
deactivate. it's a fun design, but super wordy, even without reminder text for sunburst; and no obvious visuals as the Crystal Rainbooms turn out to be a band
2020-01-12 21:33:47: Alex created and commented on the card Ship’s Cook

Needed one more black common creature. This is a silly design but a nice reference to a fun short.
2020-01-12 21:32:01: Alex created and commented on the card Yapping Nuisance

Needed one more black common creature. This could be good for a suicide black aggro deck maybe?

deactivate. pity, but one of these uncommons has to go, and coinflips don't make for great gameplay

up to uncommon, swapping with Floral Chorus as this is obviously more complex

deactivate. too many cantrips at uncommon. this was the only way to gain life at green uncommon, but green common has 3 so that's fine

deactivate. too many common green 3-drops

deactivate. Beauty in the Breakdown is more common-suitable
2020-01-12 21:09:31: Alex edited Triple Pirouette:
deactivate. it's a pity as it's a cool card. it's a bit close to Combat Reflexes, and Glamorize works similarly too

2020-01-12 18:50:44: Alex commented on Freshman Flunkies
There are four ways to transform this in set, one much easier than the others:
- Cast Sunset Shimmer and transform her with a legendary equipment;
- Cast Twilight, Thaumologist and transform her by keeping her alive through twelve spell casts;
- Cast Curse of Inner Demons and mill the opponent on five occasions;
- Cast Dysmorph on another of your own creatures.
Even if you do assemble the double-common combo, though, it's not that strong. You basically just get a Jagwasp Swarm. Snips and Snails just aren't that effective as flunkies :P

fix suspend formatting
2020-01-12 18:27:46: Alex commented on Flash Sentry, Interceptor
This is too close to Dedicated Guard, so I have to cut one of them.
- This has flying, and is indeed the only white uncommon creature to have it, though Nest Crown and Daydream’s Embrace provide it.
- This will only ever attack for 1 (unless you pump it externally).
- Dedicated Guard is more innovative, though this has at least some innovation to it.
- This does single-handedly completely invalidate an army of 1/xs, 2/xs, and a single 3/x. That's quite a blocker.
Tough choice. The flying seems the most relevant factor... The set is overall naturally low on flying, and white has the most already:

Common: Living Constellation and Glamorous Charger; Aven Operative and Distraction Strix; Freshman Flunkies with help; Lift Harness!
Uncommon: Daydream’s Embrace and probably Nest Crown; Midnight’s Embrace; Transformed Courser; Camera Drone
Rare/mythic: Celestial Totem and The Sound of Friendship; Benthic Dragon and Twilight, Thaumologist (eventually); Faerie Bootmother; Sunset Shimmer with help; Storm of Vengeance; and some >2 colour golds.
