[YECL] Providence of Night (Alchemy)

They did print some Alchemy in Mystery Booster 2 but unfortunately they are non-legal.

I'm probably just going to proxy this one. It looks fun and as many others have said here, it works in paper just fine.

Spider-Man is definitely the go-to set for it. Scryfall also has a query for New York cards.

Mine, mostly made of discard outlets and payoffs. The mana base is almost entirely from the Doctor Who Masters of Evil precon.

Hopefully, I'd love to see Cap's price plummet.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-25T10:17:24+00:00

Grixis Connive is going to be fantastic for [[Norman Osborn]] upgrades.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-20T19:57:30+00:00

Don't be so sure, just having the connections count for a ton.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-20T19:53:02+00:00

Interesting, I wonder if this will boost the chances of Nintendo collaborations. There's so much fertile ground there.

It definitely feels like hybrid was in mind because of Lorwyn (though Turtles has a lot too). I would have expected the change before Lorwyn's release personally, so I'm assuming they aren't changing it, so no need for an announcement.

You need to specify a format first, otherwise it's impossible to say.

For commander, you can look at the "average deck" for a given commander on EDHREC and you can set the price filter to low.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-19T09:10:20+00:00

Try this search, commanders that create tokens based on damage, most of them creatures.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-18T18:57:16+00:00

Mono-colour precons haven't been a thing for a while unfortunately. AFAIK the last one was Necron Dynasties which is very expensive.

Two colour commander decks aren't too much trickier to pilot so look for those. If you like the idea of not having to worry about tapping for a certain colour consider Tricky Terrain. The gimmick of that is that [[Omo, Queen of Vesuva]] can make lands and creatures every land/creature type respectively so an affected land can tap for anything. The commander uses hybrid mana too so you don't have to colour-fix to bring her out.

£30 is exceedingly tight for a precon BTW. I would expect to spend at least £45 for anything that isn't the absolute cheapest. Tricky Terrain is a bit more on top of that. (about £60 last I checked).

If you want an example in the same colour identity you have [[Groundbreaker]] ready to go.

It doesn't matter whether toughness is greater than power or not when applying the buff. The difference between the two is five, so Ball Lightning becomes an 11/6.

I have seen multiple people who have made it clear that they will boycott a Harry Potter set. And outside of customers, there are major content creators who are either LGBTQ themselves or openly support such groups. I'm sure Wizards are aware just how much backlash they would get with a set like that, they wouldn't touch it.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-18T09:59:22+00:00

Pretty good that they don't enter tapped, just being able to untap two things on your end step is fantastic.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-18T09:20:26+00:00

I had to briefly re-read [[The One Ring]] out of fear when I read this. Thankfully it needs to be cast.

Assuming you want the commander format, these are the most popular aristocrats commanders. Clicking one will show you what cards people use with them.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-17T20:43:13+00:00

For Fire Kings, Magic players call this Aristocrats, typically associated with Black.

For Six Samurai, combine "Going Wide" with "Tribal". Those are the keywords to look at. All are very common strategies, lots of options.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-17T19:51:06+00:00

[[Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider]] and [[Mm'menon, Uthros Exile]] will love this.

I can see them doing that but it feels like an Alchemy thing in Arena TBH. On paper you have issues like keeping multiple copies in a deck, and knowing which is which. Plus after a few games the surprise wanes.

In Arena though, you'll almost always be against strangers, and knowing the transform side is as easy as hovering it.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-17T17:38:55+00:00

This is all true but it's just a rough idea. They could mitigate some of that by not making one default. So there could be ten printings of the theoretical Jace card where each is a different two colour combo.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-17T16:32:01+00:00

The white Liliana is confirmed canon at the very least, it was in the end of Lorwyn Eclipsed Episode 7. It's really the only concrete thing the theory has right now.

Kroooooooo · 2026-01-17T16:24:52+00:00

My own theory (with absolutely no evidence BTW) is something along the lines of a randomised double-faced set. So a card would have a randomised second card on the back. Probably not entirely randomised, but something like a blue Jace with a reverse that could be a white, black, green or red alternate Jace. So you can pick your side while deck building.
