- rachel mcadams was *so* good in this
- definitely funny at times, some great jokes imo
- the actual plot was ridiculously predictable?? like i was waiting for a twist but it was just exactly what you thought it was gonna be
- didnt know just how many famous lines were from this!

this one is neat, i think!

recurring auras with valuable ETBs, opponents returning pacifism-style effects, toolkit auras (stuff like sheltered by ghost/cartouche of strength when you need it), plays like return vanishing -> phase out -> wrath, reattach/flicker auras to get around the role rule

"the ends of a dream", another really short one, just 10 chapters!
very moving and really sad

kinda wanted to see more of them in their old age, the first chapter was *so* strong, but the reverse-chronological story worked really well imo!

(god i love jitte, that card makes combat so fun!)

"donuts under a crescent moon"!

i really loved this one! this is like, exactly the right length (20 chapters) for this kind of story!

fuuka was really fun as a romance "antagonist" and i actually really liked the vibes subaru brought to the story!

guild wars 2!!

not a new game, but one i haven't played since 2017 (really since 2016) but i was feeling like playing an mmo, so i started again on a new character!

already 115h in now, got ascended gear, the event legendary gauntlets, doing fractals, just having a good time! :)

struggling to figure out a way to make this fair, but I really love the idea of having to keep playing instants to keep your creature alive!

also really like that this plays differently in both commander (since there's way more turns), 60-card, and limited (less likely to have the instants)

also, holyy that's so much sugar lmao

one more, since i have this one lying around:

it's basically an overpriced planar incision, but with a ton of added utility! this is definitely more goofy than some of the other stuff in this thread, but i do think its neat!

speaking of 1U counterspells (which is a category of spells i really like to begin with!) here's another one, part of a cycle of "make something a commander" cards!

love playing with mechanics like this is & I think this potentially making something a commander in a non-commander format is so fun!

this one is kind of a counterspell version of decimate in that it's a really powerful effect, but the amount of required targets makes it only situationally useful!

i think this one would allow for a lot of neat play patterns (like casting another instant just so you have a target)

(this is not serious btw lol)

i think having restrictions is fun (pauper is awesome, i love budget/themed brews!) but there's few enough hybrid cards (and they're generally weak enough) for this to only really affect 1/2-color decks, which *do* need any help they can get!

the way hybrid mana worked in edh was alway silly and didn't reflect the actual mechanical purpose of hybrid mana
