A lot of sagas were spoiled today (well, yesterday). That bodes deliciously for enchantment synergies I daresay.
The fall of lord konda


Hah, when I first read this I went straight to Smite the Monstrous. But mana value is not power kids! That makes it a lot more delicious. How to value the leftover fragment? A 1/3 draw-a-card-on-death is a thing. It’ll get you a card, since it says so right there on the cover. This will be a 2-for-1 enough of the time that I think any deck with plains will run it.

Mythic! Snap it up!!! No, wait let’s read the card first. So it wraths away all… tokens and 0 & 1 mana value cards. That sounds amazing in constructed and really meh in limited, barring a ton of tokens running around. Exile the graveyard… well it’s not Midnight Hunt anymore so that’s of questionable utility. And then you get a 3/3 that slowly grows. I gotta say, I’m supremely underwhelmed. I think leave it for the 60+ card decks.

What a fun twist on Kiki-Jiki! Right out of the gate, you get a 2/2 that also fixes your mana. Obviously 3-mana for a 2/2 isn’t great on its own, but it’s far far better to get the creature upfront than have to wait two more turns. The second verse is fine, the option to rummage is upside. I haven’t seen any particular graveyard shenanigans so we’re back to “rummage classic” rather than pitching cards for value. And then finally you get a 2/2 that can create clones. Very, very nice. I think there’s a lot of potential for shenanigans.

Never, ever underestimate 1-mana tricks. And this does a lot of little things. It messes with combat math, it untaps to ambush, it triggers “modified”, and it can rescue your own creatures. That is a lot of flexibility, and is a quintessential “three quarters adding up to a dollar”.
i’ve never read kiki-jiki, i’m never going to read kiki-jiki, there are just too many words and steps and priorities and such.
