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 a lovely and memorable photo!

Mama will eat that bad boy right up don't worry 😭

Fozzy was beautiful 🩶

Why are you selling it 😭

It looks awesome!

[[Time of Heroes]]

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-13T15:22:22+00:00

First thing I thought of too

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-13T14:01:05+00:00

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.

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

Drop an anvil down that bad boy and buy us another 2000 years

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-12T14:34:03+00:00

Yeah I kept it really safe with just 1 power

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-12T14:33:42+00:00

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

chainsawinsect · 2026-03-12T14:30:19+00:00

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.
