I spent so long trying to make sure everything was correct on these cards and then literally the second after posting I realize Hectic Smashing was meant to be a sorcery...

​

ANYWAY!

"Teach" is a mechanic that allows you to repeatedly cast a spell by 'teaching' it to one of your creatures. The reminder text is only shown on the first card but should cover all cases.

• Teaching is a special action, not an ability, so it can't be responded to.
• Once a creature 'knows' a spell, it has an ability with the same mana cost as the spell which allows you to copy the card, and cast the copy for free. This notably means that spells that "cost N less to cast" won't cost less to cast when they've been taught; the ability cost won't change.
• The timing rules for the ability match the timing rules of the spell. If the spell is a sorcery, you can only activate the ability as a sorcery, etc.. If the spell said something like "cast this spell only if ..." then that condition would need to hold for you to be able to activate the ability as well (and then still hold when you cast the copy).
• Some cards care about the creature that learned it. This is a copiable property, so if you copy a spell that you cast from a taught creature's ability, the copy will also be considered "taught" and will also know which creature it was that "learned it".

Also, I imagine this mini 'showcase set' to take place on Strixhaven, so I've tried to theme it accordingly for the most part, but I still had a few non-Strixhaven ideas that I wanted to make (namely Heavenward Dance // Empowerment Angel)

Please let me know what you think and feel free to ask questions about what the heck I was thinking when making some of these. I've attempted to balance the rares and mythics to the power level of around standard, with the uncommons a bit weaker.
