So, for Flameblade Adept, say I discard multiple cards at once, like with Bomat Courier. Does the Adept get +1/+0 for each card discarded this way?

It gets a boost with each card that's discarded. If it said, "whenever you cycle or discard one or more cards", then it would only get a boost once.

Graveyard antics are usually a pretty solid bet for being Limited winners, yeah.

Why does the tail also get a bandage, there barely ain't even shit thereOh, here's the mummy cat.

delirium wasn't. Very build around and the payoff wasn't really there.
Only reasonable explanation for the look of embalm mummies is they just bandage them then reanimate them and they are good as new.

The artist probably drew it without a tail, was horrified, and put the tail on.

Best card in the set:
Rainbow Bogles is BACK, baby!
Cartouche + Akroan Crusader = value town

How do we think that compares to Trangress?

Depends on how many legendaries are in the average standard deck. I'd imagine a lot. So slightly worse?

Transgress exiles which becomes even more relevant than it already is with the introduction of flashback and embalm.
Prepared//Fight
Prepared: Untap target creature. It gains +2/+2 and lifelink until end of turn
Fight: Target creature you control fights with target creature an opponent controls.
It was in Italian so I just translated it myself
The consequence half is basically prey upon but more expensive

Feels like a weak rare, and the goldness of it would keep it from being an overpowered uncommon?
It's a neat battle trick for when you exert a creature. If the opponent attacks you you can just untap an exerted 5/4 for example, give it +2/+2 along with lifelink until end of turn, and then block with it.

They should have made the second half instant speed.
Those frames are actually growing on me.

I'm with you. I think they work better on the Gold cards than on Dusk to Dawn.

Most likely. Would be far from the first time things had to change to work in MODO.
I will applaud WotC in regards to the new split card look for one thing, and that's getting just the tiniest bit more artwork on there. It's only like another 25% of a piece of art, but I'll take what I can get.
Also, I'm not feeling that heart-rip spell's artwork. I adore that it's essentially a Temple of Doom reference, but to me discarding cards = fucking with someone's brain, while fucking with someone's heart = life loss. Obviously this is a better card than just "Target player loses some life", but it's a bit of a flavor fail for me.

Looks like I was wrong about embalm being the WB archetype. Embalm is mainly WU, but also shows up in Red and Green.

Yeah, I have to agree. At the very best, it's definitely not very exciting at all based on what we've seen.

I was wondering what mechanic was going to show up in blue other than cycling.
Set seems fine so far. I look forward to the mechanics in Limited.

It's too early to read much into things. We've basically seen Limited fodder, the cycle lands (which are legit), and a few random cards of which a couple might be Standard playable. Overall just a single mythic and a smattering of rares which have mostly seemed decent combined with a ton of commons and uncommons.
The only underwhelming things have been the borders and fonts for the Invocations and one of the 5 gods. Everything else has been fine, be it the new dual lands or the limited fodder we've been shown.
I'd wait a couple more days before throwing the entire set in the dumpster.
People got used to the MM3 spoilers that started with fetchlands and continued to get better, and now Amonkhet seems like a bad set to them.
Prepared to fight reads like an Uncommon, not a rare. We got 2-for-1s like Turn/Burn in DGM at Uncommon
I think if Legends were a big theme in this set, we would have seen some by now. How many legends are currently played in standard?
Pia Nalaar
Archangel Avacyn
Thalia
Ishkanah
Oath of Nissa
Ulamog
Rishkar, Peema Renegade
If you take away Oath of Nissa (which comes out before this card usually), most decks have 5 or less legends in their 75

lol no? They usually start off spoiler season in a splashy way. Either through a cool card reveal or an unexpected leak. Honestly nothing shown yet has been all that exciting. It could easily turn around with the right reveals.

this is SO weird. but pretty cool too.
Yeah this is that good weird. I like this weird. This feels old school

that gotta be abusable in some way. It's also the kind of mana dork they should always make at 2 mana.
Can't help it, aftermath cards just look fake to me. Won't look any better to me in paper.

I'm legit not sure what to make of everything at the moment. It appears to really be bringing back the push of -1/-1 counters as a weird sort of currency along with...I'm not sure. More waiting, it seems.
Yo, that mana dork is alright. I love any dork that I can draw late game and not feel terrible about it. And bonus points for being a dork that still avoids being obsolete in the late game even if you play it early.
Honestly, almost all of these are really cool cards, the only exceptions being the monuments.

essence scatter doesn't hit vehicles. Kaladesh really just needed a 1U Counter target creature or vehicle spell. Creatures and vehicles get lumped together on many kinds of spells throughout KLD and AER anyways.
But now that ship has sailed.
I'm really disliking the art direction on this set. All the cards look off.
