Sunday cleaning continues. I think the overarching trend is to have cards that read directly and simply. Fewer one-off keywords and paragraphs and unique tokens. Good clean Magic.

Torrential Gearhulk has sat in my little box of cards for a long time because I took apart my artifact cube before I got a chance to add it. I have avoided it here because having a six mana card felt "off". However, everyone else is already running it and very happy with the way the card plays and it is just a bigger Snapcaster Mage and Snapcaster Mage is cool and good. Tishana's Tidebinder has been fine and also cool but it's a lot to read, it introduces weird edge cases, and you do all that reading and thinking and then the card dies to Shock/Twinshot Sniper or whatever.

Caustic Bronco is also cool and I had fun playing it but, man, I dunno whatever I don't need "saddle". It can sit in the little card box until I come to my senses again or I have another mood swing. Much like Gearhulk, the people of the internet seem to love Harvester of Misery. Okay.

Gnomes are funny, Boros Adeline is not. Card's not bad, I think? Did it do anything? Didn't make an impression. Boros Charm is a classic and doesn't create tokens. It is a lot of text, my Gatecrash version has incorrect rules text, and it's a combat trick. Pobody's nerfect.
