The set creator would like to draw your attention to these comments:

On Farmyard (reply):

I initially had this as

> "As this enchantment enters, choose up to three Plains. The chosen Plains have no abilities except "{t}: You gain 1 life."

but I think the enchant multiple things or weird things might be worth exploring into a larger theme.

On Limited Edition Gamma (reply):

Yeah, a full set was the idea. I was thinking there would be only few reprints or none at all and rather the rest of the cards were composed of 'inspired by gamma (abu)' than say ones that actually were in it. An example of that currently is Animate Hand. I think in the later stages of the set the cards that would be lifted up directly from the original Gamma might be in the minority.

Also, no, I hadn't noticed there were gold cards :D

Lot of inspiration to get from there or even just straight-up pick bunch of designs basically as is.

On Rapture:

From Gamma White.

Original version of Resurrection.

On Farmyard:

On Farmyard:

From Gamma White.

Original version of Farmstead.

On Holy War:

From Gamma White.

Original version of Crusade.

References Hero.

On Hero:

From Gamma White.

Original version of Benalish Hero.

'Stacks' assumedly something similar to banding. Referenced directly by Holy War.

On Pegasus:

O-o, nice catch on 'stacks'.

On Starburst:

I don't think the mana cost is reduced here tho it's a bit hard to tell.

Some of the gamma renders have a differing costing syntax where 2R would mean "two mana of which one is red". So for example 6GG Craw Wurm, 5UU Air Elemental, 2B Bad Moon, and 3WW Reverse Damage.

On Pegasus:

Fair. No banding is good. Apparently there is banding in GAMMA just called "stacks".

Didn't need to be rare, but follows the same logic as Savannah Lions (which were a 1/1 common in GAMMA) at rare, I guess.

On Starburst:

IDK. I just don't see a justification in repeating a mistake done for Alpha that wasn't in GAMMA yet by reducing the casting cost of this card.

I see you went with the nerfed wording that doesn't cause the opponent to "lose next turn".
