How do counters interact with Quirion Dryad and Unstable Mutation? Lets say I cast a mutation on a dryad. Does each -1/-1 counter added remove one +1/+1 counter that may be added down the road, and vice versa?
If I sac sparring construct to pay the additional cost for bayou groff, can I put the counter on Groff, or would the construct's death trigger resolve before groff is in play?
Lets say my opponent has 2 lands and one fetch land, and they crack the fetch land. If I were to aether vial in a leonin arbiter while the fetch land's ability is on the stack, could my opponent still pay 2 to search their library, or does that need to be paid before they even crack the land? Same question does for something like Gifts Ungiven and other "search your library" cards.
You're supposed to crew using 2 mouse or maybe rats in this case and WotC wanted to make sure 1 creature doesn't make it to mirror the fairy tale.
Wrong story, the two creatures are the bride and groom.
I feel like mechanically it's a flavor fail though. To activate the vehicle - to make it move (attack) - it needs creatures like horses to pull it. What would two people riding in the carriage add to it - how would that mobilize the carriage? In my mind this ability is turning two of your creatures into beasts of burden. I know that's not Design's intention, but I feel that's what happened here.
And maybe we'll see Gaea, Hurkyl, and/or Drafna. All those old characters that just showed up by name but have either never been depicted or have never had a card.
Svyelun was a God as far back as Fallen Empires. No Retcon there - Svyelunite Priest, Svyelunite Temple. Gaea is described as a Goddess, never a planeswalker or a spirit, or a really old druid, so I suspect if we ever see a Gaea card she will also be a god.
and Ayula, Queen Among Bears
Makes me wish this set was Modern legal. I'd love a bear deck outside of EDH.
