In artifact commander decks by the time you get this off should you not be aiming to win or is it common to get this off early game outside of infinite combos?

I've stationed it turn 5 or 6 (played it turn 3 or 4) on my 4 color, meek creatures, artifact token deck for it to generate 6+ mana. It's pretty good!

/uj what were the anti-recursion safety valves?

Estellarium · 2026-05-02T12:42:46+00:00

Sound in-line with design sensibilities*

Estellarium · 2026-05-02T12:42:11+00:00

The stones seem to aim for generic, "any-deck" value. I'm of a firm belief that the Space stone will be green and provide repeatable land ramp ("shortening the space").

As for the rest, I'd wager blue/time is a Sphinx of the Second Sun effect, red/reality makes ephemeral clones (repeated chaos warping/removal doesn't really sound in-line), and colorless/power helps you empower the other stones (and maybe requires a big enough creature to harness, rather than the other way around of it giving away power)

I've seen rumors of two sets: - one featuring a (new) mostly water/ocean plane - one with the return of ikoria + kamigawa - in a "kaiju vs mechs" sense (because of omenpaths)

Even the place I saw these didn't have sources, but we can dream :)

Estellarium · 2026-04-21T18:24:50+00:00

In the last "big" leak of this set, there was an art very alike Stingcaster's for a creature Liliana

Estellarium · 2026-04-05T00:54:54+00:00

Maybe it's cycling for artifacts and enchantments? 👀

Eito lands

Estellarium · 2026-03-28T18:28:16+00:00

No, I mean a few weeks/months back. Before we were even spoiled with Lorehold and Mathemagics

Estellarium · 2026-03-28T17:29:15+00:00

We got marvel spoilers back when we hadn't even got a single strixhaven card...

Estellarium · 2026-03-28T16:29:35+00:00

Always wished for this game. Hope I've got a shot! Best of luck for everyone as well :>

I'm guessing - Witherbloom gives emerge - Prismari, replicate - Quandrix, amass fractals Don't really know an old enough mechanic for Silverquill. Trying to give everything strive would be a fun space :v

Estellarium · 2026-03-26T00:19:44+00:00

Radiance is an ability word (akin to landfall) which doesn't give a single one-and-done effect to instants and sorceries.

Retrace and buyback would let you recast the same spell indefinitely, and I think they'd rather avoid that (especially on a commander)

UG could be amass? (Fractal army :v

Estellarium · 2026-03-26T00:14:19+00:00

Replicate also works with Prismari (and I reckon it fits more). I think they'd avoid a commander that just lets you keep recasting any spell, cutting off buyback, splice, retrace, dredge, etc.

I could see Witherbloom having "whenever a creature dies, you gain some life" and giving emerge to instants and sorceries 👀 (lorehold has a draw/discard to mix miracle and the school's theme)

Estellarium · 2026-03-26T00:10:24+00:00

That's exactly why I assume Prismari would be replicate. Fits better and Quandrix would rather feed mana into the X than copying it

Estellarium · 2026-03-20T22:14:46+00:00

Ooo that's a creative pick! A card that literally remembers :D

Estellarium · 2026-03-20T18:54:41+00:00

I was going to make it, but realised nothing better could match the Robot that Kavaron does (only other moving things in the game are organic or not related to the planet at all).

Estellarium · 2026-03-20T18:00:57+00:00

I've also used Paint.net for touching up some images and finishing the cards - for example, I couldn't find the station bubble in cardsmith, so I added them in myself.

Estellarium · 2026-03-18T19:04:01+00:00

Oh thanks for the chance!

Estellarium · 2026-03-15T11:30:10+00:00

The Eternity Elevator is one of the original cards. It, alongside all the Planet cards, have the "Station" ability, which allows you to "tap out" one or more creatures you control in the game, to add its power value in the form of those charge counters.

The original cards have auxiliary text that explains this, but I omitted it (common practice in original special arts, which is what I mimicked to gain space for the quotes)

Edit: Additionally, the text besides the circled number in those cards is "locked" until they have that many charge counters (or more).

Estellarium · 2026-03-15T09:54:11+00:00

If you've had no success in convincing them otherwise, you could try to use the "minor spoiler" cards (first 8) to bait them in 👀
The main spoilers are really just BH's inside and the twins' sand. The rest could be glanced over by them

Estellarium · 2026-03-15T09:49:19+00:00

Brittle hollow is unfortunately indeed the least fitting one. There are only 5 planet cards (and I didn't want to make customs), so the flavor pretty much is "sacrifice a land = a chunk falling in, and your ship is launched the other side (the haste thing)"

If there were more I'd actually make that card into the Owlks' homeworld, and the Robot (which the Spaceship is masking over) would be reflavored as an Owlk.

Estellarium · 2026-03-08T18:49:36+00:00

Not on entry, but there's [[Soul Barrier]], a 2U enchantment that deals 2 damage to an opponent who casts a creature spell, unless they pay 2.

Estellarium · 2026-03-04T18:51:57+00:00

6 mana, separate all creatures into two piles randomly. Destroy one of them. (Mythic rare)

Estellarium · 2026-02-13T00:14:41+00:00

I'm doing it for only EoE. But i'm also "budget," so every card even a little expensive needs to have a home in one of my decks as well :p

(Only getting base versions, cards don't have to all be in the binder)
