4 mana to destroy a permanent at instant speed and ramp yourself? Are you crazy?
I'm immediately reminded of that wacky game Deadly Premonition.
I guess even mentioning it in this context is something of a spoiler though?

fuck yeah
cmon it would be like a super mwonvuli acid moss, and everyone loves that card

stupid wilderness rec is so unfun

Oh it would be good, but it wouldn't even be the best in standard arguably. From an EDH lens, which is what I mainly play, this is not good enough I think.
Hey now, it's super fun. I wasn't around for all of the original drama and came upon it myself late last year. It's quicker/better than 1v1 CEDH and the <=3CMC restriction is a neat challenge to brew decks around. There are a lot of commanders/cards that don't work in EDH but are allstars in TL.
My most recent build is a Persistent Petitioners mill deck led by Kami of the Crescent Moon. Bonkers if you can get it off but specific card hate like Pithing Needle completely shuts it down.
The new Krenko is cool because he still builds a giant Gobbo army but by going tall himself. Traditional go-wide Krenko cards don't do shit and cost a lot more than 3CMC. This Krenko isn't as good in traditional EDH because it'd be more of a Voltron build and he's just not good enough for that. In TL though? Bonkers.
Ripped this GIF from my personal favorite moment in the WAR trailer, hope it finds some use.

Okay, I mentioned vastly preferring new art to old in here before, and I just ran into a real strong example for me, haha.
Old Anger (aka weird baby old man monster thing):
Versus New Anger (cool magma monster dude):
I played a good bit with the old one and in theory that's where my nostalgia is, but man, I jumped hard on the chance to upgrade to the new one for my Alesha commander deck.

They're all made-up formats from the minds of people selling otherwise worthless cards 🤫

funnily that anger printing isn't that new and up until UMA was fairly expensive since it only showed up in the venser vs koth precon in 2012.
Pretty sure I killed that angry cosmic wizard baby in the Nightmare of Mensis in Bloodbourne. Definitely the best art.
As a new-ish player, I've generally been not into the art whatsoever, but I'm slowly coming around on some of it.
I really like the art for the new Ajani:
It's the first card I've wanted just for the art (ignoring the fact that it's also a super dope card)
I looked up Minguez's other stuff and sure enough it's pretty good. I like the more cartoony style he's got going. It reminds me of the Battlebond art, which I'm also a fan of over the more generic fantasy looking stuff.

Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves
I can also name examples where modern art took a turn for the worse by inserting planeswalkers doing cool poses.
Execute Order 66 and kill all theJediplaneswalkers. Save us, Nico!
Nothing personnel
Oh btw this is new. Sounds good for limited, mediocre for constructed (there's 3 wolves in standard and they all blow)
i feel with the new art they do a better job at making it look like all the cards belong in the same place and tell the same story, but the side effect of that is that things look very similar
i regularly get confused between cards that have identical casting costs when drafting new sets

Forgot about that. Un Urza and Serra's debut is good enough for now I suppose.

Role Reversal
The two weirds seem fun, but not really something you would run in a 'good' deck.
Speaking of good cards:
Role Inversion - UUR
Sorcery - Rare
Exchange control of two target permanents that share a type.

I want to see the exact English text of this, but at first glance I really like this card. It has a lot of neat interactions for stealing lands, enchantments, and planeswalkers.The two weirds seem fun, but not really something you would run in a 'good' deck.

You do steal, they just steal at the same time. I'm happy to give someone an Island for their upgraded Azcanta.
You can also do things like "giving" someone a Gift of Paradise (it stays on your side and you don't lose any benefits), or "giving" someone your Curious Obsession if they're playing a creature-heavy deck (they have to skip attacking for a round to make you lose it, otherwise you keep it, and either way you steal their enchantment), or in magical Christmas land, "giving" someone Captive Audience to steal their enchantment.
If you could somehow afford it, you could Mirror March, attack with the token, and then trade your self-destructing token for a creature. The more obvious case is giving someone a junk 1/1 in exchange for a powerful creature though.
You could use your planeswalker, then exchange it for a Teferi, then use the Teferi -3 to delete the gifted planeswalker and put it back into your deck.

Worse from a color requirement perspective than Fresh-Faced Recruit, but it's also a cat.

We see cards like this often in sets that are expected to have longer games.
Amazonian's third card.
Huh. Interesting activated ability.
So if all the planeswalkers and life gain and walls wasn't enough of a clue.

I guess I just don't associate those two keywords together on a mono Black card.....
They are black abilities nonetheless. For what it's worth I agree that it seems odd.
Like, that looks like a Grixis card. One drop with lifelink and haste?
Maybe I'm just stuck in the old color pie of Sui Black. :P

I think it works fine. Lifelink is as black as it is white. Haste should really work for anything.
