Yoni Skolnik, a principal game designer at Wizards of the Coast, said in a blog post that when the team approached the set, they were careful to find a way to let people enjoy their nostalgia without alienating everyone else that also honored the emotional resonance of the games. As such, the final product is full of little narrative Easter eggs that hint at, but never spoil, major plot beats from the games
The ability to tap another creature is basically flavor text, but it can come up from time to time
An almost storybook interpretation of the original Foglio art, look at the combination of pastel color and patterns found throughout the piece
Combat happens several times a turn rotation, so the two outcomes of this are either you have a stronger and infinitely repeatable Oblation at two mana an activation, or everyone else is going exalted for the rest of the game
Emrakul, the Promised End is great choice for the deck because she can either be cast for a cascade trigger from Zhulodok, or she can be cast as a very cheap spell if the graveyard is already full
Some are triggered, and others are activated abilities
