Questioning Phelddagrif

Was really hoping for a “Shatter” reprint with Doug breaking Mr. Dinks grill 💜💜💜

My Ayula and Elas Il-kor decks have been collecting dust because they aren’t Phelddagrif 💜💜💜

Both those decks look sweet! 💜💜💜

Phelddagrif {1}{G}{W}{U} Legendary Creature — Phelddagrif {G}: Phelddagrif gains trample until end of turn. Target opponent creates a 1/1 green Hippo creature token. {W}: Phelddagrif gains flying until end of turn. Target opponent gains 2 life. {U}: Return Phelddagrif to its owner’s hand. Target opponent may draw a card. 4/4 Illustrated by Amy Weber

Phelddagrif would be my top pick! 💜💜💜

I forgot that a lot of cards have “wizards of thE coast” at the bottom too. So uhh, guess would be looking at mostly Alpha-The Dark 💜💜💜

Phelddagrif card with all the “e”s underlined

Nevermind, Phelddagrif would be too egregious for the format. I’m just going to dissolve the Oulipo Rules Committee instead since the format can’t handle Phelddagrif.

Oulipo format is over! 💜💜💜

Most of the ‘e’s underlined

Magic the gathering card back with the “e” in “gathering” underlined

I bet there’s less than that!
The “format” would basically be instants and artifacts (maybe could get away with older “summon” cards), and couldn’t play green (no “forest, unless there is a forest that doesn’t say “forest” on it).
We would also have to ignore the card back too 💜💜💜

Phelddagrif is the exception 💜💜💜

Starting a format called “Oulipo”: only cards that are legal are ones without the letter “e” on them 💜💜💜

Patrolling Peacemaker {2}{W} Artifact Creature — Robot Soldier This creature enters with two +1/+1 counters on it. Whenever an opponent commits a crime, proliferate. (They commit a crime if they target an opponent, anything an opponent controls, and/or cards in an opponent’s graveyard. To proliferate, you choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.) 0/0 Illustrated by Michal Ivan

Special shout-out for putting the crime mechanic on another card in Phelddagrif's color identity...and making it an absolute Phelddagrif hoser. Very funny, but also sad (and still funny!) 💜💜💜

Set was great!! 💜💜💜

Exploration Broodship {G} Artifact — Spacecraft Station (Tap another creature you control: Put charge counters equal to its power on this Spacecraft. Station only as a sorcery. It’s an artifact creature at 8+.) STATION 3+ You may play an additional land on each of your turns. STATION 8+ Flying Once during each of your turns, you may cast a permanent spell from your graveyard by sacrificing a land in addition to paying its other costs. 4/4 Illustrated by Borja Pindado

From the commander sets: a $3 much-worse-exploration isn't that bad, although it won't do much until you station it. It has some late game value as well! 💜💜💜

Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought {5} Legendary Artifact — Spacecraft Station (Tap another creature you control: Put charge counters equal to its power on this Spacecraft. Station only as a sorcery. It’s an artifact creature at 20+.) STATION 10+ Whenever you attack, Dawnsire deals 100 damage to up to one target creature or planeswalker. STATION 20+ Flying 20/20 Illustrated by Jaime Jones

Requiem Monolith {2}{B} Artifact {T}: Until end of turn, target creature gains “Whenever this creature is dealt damage, you draw that many cards and lose that much life.” That creature’s controller may have this artifact deal 1 damage to it. Activate only as a sorcery. Illustrated by Warren Mahy

Pain for All {2}{R} Enchantment — Aura Enchant creature you control When this Aura enters, enchanted creature deals damage equal to its power to any other target. Whenever enchanted creature is dealt damage, it deals that much damage to each opponent. The agony that consumed him also gave him clarity of purpose. DailyMTG Story Spotlight Illustrated by Dmitry Burmak

Honorable mention to these cards for the Stuffy Doll strategies in Helldagrif. 🔥💜🔥

Adagia, Windswept Bastion Land — Planet This land enters tapped. {T}: Add {W}. Station (Tap another creature you control: Put charge counters equal to its power on this Planet. Station only as a sorcery.) STATION 12+ {3}{W}, {T}: Create a token that’s a copy of target artifact or enchantment you control, except it’s legendary. Activate only as a sorcery. Illustrated by Adam Paquette

Evendo, Waking Haven Land — Planet This land enters tapped. {T}: Add {G}. Station (Tap another creature you control: Put charge counters equal to its power on this Planet. Station only as a sorcery.) STATION 12+ {G}, {T}: Add {G} for each creature you control. Illustrated by Adam Paquette

The planets have been funny in the bounce deck, tapping Phelddagrif to station before returning it to my hand. I haven't been super impressed with them yet, but they're great to have something to do! 💜💜💜

All-Fates Scroll {3} Artifact {T}: Add one mana of any color. {7}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw X cards, where X is the number of differently named lands you control. For navigating that which was, is, and will be. Illustrated by Sam Guay

Survey Mechan {4} Artifact Creature — Robot Flying Hexproof (This creature can’t be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.) {10}, Sacrifice this creature: It deals 3 damage to any target. Target player draws three cards and gains 3 life. This ability costs {X} less to activate, where X is the number of differently named lands you control. 1/3 Illustrated by Johann Bodin

I thought this card was a lot better than it is (I thought the cost was reduced like for Survey Mechan), but I'm still playing it, hoping to draw a new hand off it at some point. I don't think it's going to happen and will probably cut it soon. 💜💜💜

Pull Through the Weft {3}{G}{G} Sorcery Return up to two target nonland permanent cards from your graveyard to your hand, then return up to two target land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. “That which should not have happened is undone, and a new pattern takes its place.” Illustrated by Andrew Mar

A card that I've put into a bunch of decks but haven't actually played it yet! It seems like a great late game refill on paper, especially with how often lands incidentally go to the graveyard.

And I feel like the Drix and Phelddagrif would be friends (Pheldda-Drix?)💜💜💜

Starwinder {5}{U}{U} Creature — Leviathan Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may draw that many cards. Warp {2}{U}{U} (You may cast this card from your hand for its warp cost. Exile this creature at the beginning of the next end step, then you may cast it from exile on a later turn.) Those lucky enough to survive leave with greater perspective of their own importance. 7/7 Illustrated by Justin Hernandez & Alexis Hernandez

Starwinder {5}{U}{U} Creature — Leviathan Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may draw that many cards. Warp {2}{U}{U} (You may cast this card from your hand for its warp cost. Exile this creature at the beginning of the next end step, then you may cast it from exile on a later turn.) 7/7 Illustrated by Devin Elle Kurtz

Shout-out to both versions of Starwinder which look like they should each have flying but totally don't 💜💜💜

Scour for Scrap {3}{U} Instant Choose one or both — • Search your library for an artifact card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. • Return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand. The Illvoi hunt for stellar fragments that predate even the Fomori. Illustrated by Filip Burburan

Consult the Star Charts {1}{U} Instant Kicker {1}{U} (You may pay an additional {1}{U} as you cast this spell.) Look at the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of lands you control. Put one of those cards into your hand. If this spell was kicked, put two of those cards into your hand instead. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. Illustrated by Antonio José Manzanedo

This card has been interesting for voltron as well, although at 4 mana it feels a little overcosted if you're just doing one mode. Consult the Star Charts looks great, and am considering adding it, but haven't taken the plunge yet.💜💜💜

Emergency Eject {2}{W} Instant Destroy target nonland permanent. Its controller creates a Lander token. (It’s an artifact with “{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.”) “This is your captain speaking. Our eternity drive has ruptured. Light be with you all.” Illustrated by Leon Tukker

Another stroke of midnight effect is worth looking at. Pretty flexible, and I don't worry about wanting to remove lands very much, as I rarely play against glacial chasm or field of the dead. I've put this in my voltron list replacing generous gift, thinking the lander is better than a blocker. 💜💜💜

Starfield Shepherd {3}{W}{W} Creature — Angel Flying When this creature enters, search your library for a basic Plains card or a creature card with mana value 1 or less, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. Warp {1}{W} (You may cast this card from your hand for its warp cost. Exile this creature at the beginning of the next end step, then you may cast it from exile on a later turn.) 3/2 Illustrated by Marta Nael

Set was fantastic for Phelddagrif commander strategies. Feels like Starfield Shepherd is practically a staple, grabbing an Esper Sentinel, a soul warden, or even a basic plains if you need to make sure that you get another land drop. Been very impressed with this card!💜💜💜

We're over the EDGE OF Spider-Man, but it feels like several ETERNITIES since I've looked at the cards that "Edge of Eternities" added to Phelddagrif strategies! 💜💜💜

Did the set Lander well, or did it get lost in the lack of space created during Spider-Man Spoiler Season? 💜💜💜

The Shark's name wasn't Jaws? 💜💜💜

I am very passionate about the Gathering and my friends.

Its more important now than ever to come together and lift each other up. No one is coming to save us. We have to do it ourselves.

This is so amazing!

This project was three years in the making and I couldn't be happier with the result. Custom modified frame, extended artwork to fit inside the modern frame, a hidden 99-count tracker that automatically tracks the tens. And all of it looks seamless, like it was meant to be there.

I like Ghostwatch 💜💜💜

Untimely Malfunction {1}{R} Instant Choose one — • Destroy target artifact. • Change the target of target spell or ability with a single target. • One or two target creatures can’t block this turn. “No! This worked perfectly in the lab!” Illustrated by Jarel Threat

Wild that this card is worth half a Phelddagrif or ~4 Questing Phelddagrifs 💜💜💜

There is so much beauty in this world 💜🥹💜
