Recent updates to Ravages in Swilften: (Generated at 2025-07-13 04:54:43)
This was previously Seer Smoke. https://ibb.co/D4QzgqF. It was a legacy card, that I don't remember the reason why, but it ended being rare; which I realised made it a very disappointing rare. The update uses the original effect as a channel alternative spell and makes it a creature if cast regularly (just a storm crow, though). Seer smoke was a reference to weed and the new one is a reference to absinthe, this is why it is called the Green Fairy despite not being a green card. The art for this, is one of the more complex ideas I have tried to generate with AI.
Attached a body and changed the name.
Downgrade
First test completed. Sealed 6 RIS boosters. WGU against WGR. Three colors mandatory, double coloured spells are very limiting. First game was dominated by a Porcelain denizen animating food from Harvest Moon. Harvest Moon is busted, it is a "legacy" card (cards that I already had around from when I began creating cards) so this is not surprising. The update will make it slower and not infinite. Second game was won by a weenie assault, I got to use warband and blow a Hellburner to make way. Warband creates a token that works like banding without being explicitly banding. The warband token itself I haven't uploaded it yet, because it needs cleaning, currently it's illegible, it was a joke token I made. Hellburner is ok. Woodlands Refugee and Wild Alicorn are a bit too good; I will consider making them go from common to uncommon.
I don't know what I was thinking. Some cards are cards I had already made that I shoehorned into the set. When I saw this one pop in a random booster at rare, I knew I had made some kind of mistake. Marked for review. Thank you very muchh
I'm not even sure if this is better or weaker than the likes of Telling Time, Experimental Augury, or Moment of Truth - without even not taking into account the additional color intensity. With it,
to 
for +1 to scry in comparison to Deliberate isn't huge.
So I really don't see why this would be a rare - it seems plausible at common though maybe you don't want scries 3 consistently at that rarity, but that's not power related per se.
correction
Added Horror as there are no demons in RIS
Thanks for your comment, I'll mark it for review. It's sort of an exalted counter, but considering it doesn't even need to target, it needs to have a cost.
That seems like way too strong of an effect to have a land with no activation cost. Generally such abilities that can generate card advantage need to quite overcosted because if you have an effect on a land that produces mana the opportunity cost for that is very small compared to the usual of reserving a card slot for a spell in your deck. For example Memorial to Folly, Memorial to Glory, Gates of Istfell. With an effect like this, I would except it to have some sort of an activation cost along the lines of
or 
.
