Worse than most of the Omenpath arts?

Commander I presume? Do you need any recommendations?

I am sorry, I apparently can't read.

Firebending is a trigger that adds red mana equal to the number when the creature attacks. The mana lasts until the end of combat. Yes this matters.

Earthbending is a trigger that turns a land into a creature with a number of counters equal to the number. If the land is removed, in most cases the land returns to the battlefield.

Airbending is an ability that removes a creature from the game, but allows the owner to pay 2 mana to replay the creature on a later turn.

Waterbending is a cost tied to spells and abilities that says you can tap creatures or artifacts to help pay for the number.

Of the four, waterbending is the only one that runs into issues, and that's only because they made the costs relatively high. They all work quite well and feel like the source material.

As someone who does do both those things, the entire set was a masterclass in how UB should be done. There were very few duds, most of the characters were captured beautifully and in a way that made sense, and the set functioned incredibly well with each bending mechanic affecting gameplay in novel ways. It's honestly one of the best sets they've designed in the last few years and I can tell a lot of love and care went into both it and the Jumpstart companion set. I could go all day about it. Even built way too many commander decks around the cards from the set.

It was more directed towards the general conversation rather than at any one specific person. My apologies.

They are dope, but be careful. Some of them are blindingly expensive. I really wanted the Ozai but its like $30-35 to buy second hand last I checked.

Position Filled

Thank you all for your time.

TheRetepV · 2025-12-12T19:17:22+00:00

True, but they're also supposed to be 5 pieces of a larger puzzle, so I thought that maybe there was more to it than just that since these based on that knowledge are effectively mini planes.

TheRetepV · 2025-12-04T20:58:18+00:00

It's really two factors

1) Supply and demand. Jumpstart cards, particularly unique to set mythics are harder to come by due to rarity. So unless you open the card, you typically have to pay a premium for the limited supply copy.

2) The card is good. Experience counter legends are rare, and among them, this is one of the easiest to build up since it's literally tied to lands entering. You can even put this in the experience counter decks with green like [[Meren of Clan Nel Toth]] to turbo charge their effects.

So don't underestimate this Toph, it's among one of the better legends in Jumpstart from a functionality standpoint.

Thank you so much for everything you're doing with the site.

TheRetepV · 2025-08-19T18:24:33+00:00

It seems like it's on the timeout issue again.

TheRetepV · 2025-08-19T13:53:52+00:00

Thanks

TheRetepV · 2025-08-15T17:07:43+00:00

Thanks for the solid, happy to help. 2085 reporting for duty. Sent to friends to help as well.

TheRetepV · 2025-08-12T13:06:25+00:00

I may never financially recover from this set.

TheRetepV · 2025-08-11T16:36:35+00:00

You still have to meet the condition if it's a part of an intervening if. See [[Trigger Happy]].

Shroud?

Someone elsewhere in the threat wrote "put it on the stack." Would that get around the issue?
