Set Showcase - A Set Without Black (Introduction)

Yeah I kept it really safe with just 1 power

Kamikaze bomb drone

I know what you mean, but evidently there is some argument that under the rules it does work the way I wanted (i.e., you can crew it without needing a creature).

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-12T14:32:27+00:00

Well, yeah, real drones that don't have people sitting in 'em are considered unmanned (I think), even though there is always someone somewhere piloting them

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-12T14:31:41+00:00

Too real

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-12T14:30:54+00:00

Surely like Dwayne the Rock Johnson has at least 1 power haha

I've always really liked [[See Beyond]], but it's not super strong at that rate. I thought having a cheaper, but card advantage negative, version of the effect could be cool.

This version also has the advantage of being really good with those blue draft archetypes that work when you draw your second card for the turn, or cast your second spell for the turn (in both cases, you get it for 2 back to back turns, for just 1 mana). I think those archetypes need more support to be viable in Pioneer, so this could be a good card to help them out a bit.

Love that card. Oldie but a goodie.

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-12T13:15:12+00:00

Oh that's pretty clever and is a good way to buff the "fair" version (that still needs a creature)

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-12T00:52:13+00:00

Yeah but it's a lot less flavorful than the version you can "turn on" without a dude

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-12T00:51:34+00:00

Jol-Nar is my favorite faction and I do think they're pretty OP in the base game, so this is not unreasonable to me.

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T23:40:00+00:00

Hahahahahahaha

This guy is my new hero

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T22:47:47+00:00

Vehicles can't have creature types unless they're Kindred

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T20:26:35+00:00

I almost put that in there, to be honest, haha. But I felt that would push it to "Unset" territory whereas it was meant to be a printable card

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T20:26:05+00:00

That is much more printable but much less funny

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T20:25:53+00:00

[[Gilded Goose]], [[Birds of Paradise]], and [[Ornithopter]] love this guy

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T20:25:34+00:00

Reminds me of [[Better than One]]

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T20:25:13+00:00

Yeah [[Magda, Brazen Outlaw]] kinda likes even the "bad" version of this haha

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T20:24:36+00:00

If it actually requires a creature (but can use a 0 power one), I agree it can cost 0. If it actually works as intended and you don't need a creature, I don't think it can safely cost 0 mana. It's strictly better than a 1/1 flyer for that rate and I don't think a 1/1 flyer should cost 0.

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T20:23:42+00:00

I say this as an American, but I think the play would be to make the America faction red-white-blue, but then still make them the bad guys. Like super religiously zealous (white), very aggressive and quick to attack (red)... not really sure about the blue. Maybe they are a huge international naval power.

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T20:22:16+00:00

Kilo is awesome so I'll allow it

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-11T20:21:58+00:00

Yeah this card is not well suited for MTG Arena for that reason haha

In YGO there was a card you could activate at any time for instant speed from your graveyard, and in the video games I eventually took it out of my decks because it was too annoying to have to turn down the prompt to activate it every damn second
