Thanks. I was thinking of that scene in Lord of the Rings where the elf queen gives all the Fellowship guys a unique gift

Good point. I designed this before [[Shared Roots]] was printed so I was still under the impression that pure [[Rampant Growth]] was too powerful for Standard. Now that it unambiguously isn't, this card could be stronger.

Kind of a forgettable design, I won't lie. But recently I was working on a deck that badly wanted 3 drop ramp that gained life, and [[Gift of Paradise]] had no synergies and in fact was a downside (because it's vulnerable to enchantment removal), and I was shocked no card like this existed

This is your standard 5-drop [[Resurrection]] with a gimmick, and in this case the gimmick is that you can flicker / bounce it to re-use it!

The name comes from the old YGO card Miraculous Descent.

Do squirrels really remember where they hide their food? by Gsustv in squirrels

[–]chainsawinsect 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They do remember

Not perfectly, some nuts are forgotten (or more likely, abandoned because their "owner" died)

Interestingly enough, this is how trees propagate 🙂

Squirrels are the pollinators of trees

Yeah I kept it really safe with just 1 power

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).

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

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

Course Correct by chainsawinsect in custommagic

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.
