Cloned from The Modern Hipster

The modern hipster features cards from modern legal sets in classic frames (no DFC, split cards, universes beyond, adventures, etc), and generally avoids the complexity creep of more recent card designs.

The cube is medium/low power level, with the “spirit and arcane” mechanic from Kamigawa as a baseline for playability and gameplay comparable to retail limited (combat based, synergy based, few combos). It includes a few Modern staples that have been outclassed with time (goyf, bob, snap, souls) but are on-theme. Most cards have a mediocre floor but a decent ceiling when used synergistically.

Themes

• Modified Creatures
• Looting/Mill
• Tribal/Changeling

Rule Notes

Changeling only adds creature types - it does not count as cartouche or arcane. You cannot splice blessed breath onto nameless inversion.

If you bestow it is no longer a creature - a bestowed indebted spirit will not trigger celestial kirin and you cannot "flash bestow" with scout's warning or rattlechains. A bestow creature is also only an aura when bestowed (cannot be tutored with tallowisp).

Changelings have the army creature type - amass will put counters on changelings instead of creating a token. If you control an army token and a changeling you choose where to place the counters.

Theros gods are creatures by default in all zones, devotion count is only active while on the battlefield. You can use dread return on thassa, god of the sea with one blue devotion as it is a creature in the graveyard even though it will not be on the battlefield.

Tallowisp cannot find rune of might (“enchant permanent”) but runes can be used to reanimate evershrike (aura with valid target).

Attaching auras with evershrike or rise of glory requires legal targets for the auras - the aura is not cast so does not target, it will not trigger heroic but can bypass shroud.

A card with “do x if y” always triggers and checks for the condition, but “if y do x” only triggers if condition is met. You can pump a creature with Mayael's Aria on the stack - but you cannot volatile claws to make demons for Liliana's contract.
