[MtG] Gold Vein: Nine Signpost Uncommons for "Return to Theros"


bury the year

Recommended Posts

Welcome to Apostasy, a set in which the gods of Theros have stopped responding to mortal prayers—and the world is reeling from the consequences.

Gold cards help to solidify the color identities of what I'm trying to do. Showing off two new mechanics, and an old favorite. Can you guess the signposted archetypes for each color pair?

FWIW, inherit is in Bant colors, renown in Mardu, and trespass in Golgari. With one or two exceptions for each, of course:

  • Inherit C (You may cast this card as an Aura spell from your graveyard for its inherit cost. If you do, exile it if it would leave the battlefield.)
  • Renown N (When this creature deals combat damage to a player, if it isn't renowned, put N +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes renowned.)
  • Trespass N (You may put the top N cards of your library into your graveyard as you cast this spell.)

Instant {U}
Until end of turn, two target creatures each get +1/+0, and each gain trample and "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card."
A herd need only dispatch a single minotaur to uproot a town. So what happens when they send two?
