I've got an Azorious Flash deck for Standard in which I'm currently running a 2-2 split of Malcolm and Plumecreed Escort because neither of them are exactly what the deck wants. This might be worth an audition... although the lack of flying is a strike against it.
Who ya gonna call?
I initially read this as "Whenever an enchantment you control enters a room". Shortening "enters the battlefield" to "enters" was weird enough, but it's extra weird now that they're introducing something else that could conceivably be "entered" in the very next set.
So the opportunity cost of including, say, Floodfarm Verge in a slot where you would otherwise be running a Plains is low but not nil. Considerations:
- Are you running fetchlands such as Fabled Passage, and if so, is this dropping your basic land count low enough that you might run out?
- Are you running enough basic lands that you can reasonably expect to turn these on in most games?
- Are nonbasic hate cards like Furnace Punisher or Sunspine Lynx common in your meta and/or particularly good against your deck?
Overall I think I probably like these better than most of the rare duals that are currently in Standard, although that's "like" in the sense of "want to play with"; I'm not necessarily saying they're stronger in the abstract.
Interesting to note that the cycle depicted here is only allied colors and only goes clockwise (on the color wheel) when adding the second color. There is potential for three more cycles like this one if Wizards wants to make them.
That demon clearly sees that guy. He's not staying hidden at all.
Red aggro in Standard sometimes runs Felonious Rage. This is probably an upgrade. It doesn't grant haste but most of the creatures you'd be casting it on already have haste anyway.
I have to say I don't love that Manifest and Disguise are going to be in Standard at the same time. I mean as an Arena player I guess it doesn't affect me, but it complicates paper games.
The cycles of "big common creatures with landcycling" in several recent sets have been playable and balanced in Limited. I'm on board with it.
It would have been so much simpler, for purposes of keeping track of the game state, if this said "if Acrobatic Cheerleader is tapped and doesn't have a flying counter on it" and then didn't have the "only once" clause. And it would have made the card slightly stronger, which is totally fine because I can't imagine it seeing much Constructed play in any case.
You sure could! I don't know how long it will take but I feel like I need to see it happen at least once.

That sounds like the kind of deck I would enjoy.
This is maybe the third or fourth time I've been to Mythic, but by far the earliest in the month that I've gotten there and the highest I've been.
