That name is... kind of tragic. The mana cost actually amuses me, though I'm not sure how different a balance it is from  . If it had a CMC of 3 or 4 that hybrid symbol might matter to a tricolor deck or one running unfortunate numbers of non-color-producing utility lands, but out of 6 sources I don't think you ever really muster CD but not H.

Eww, gross. There is simply no reason for that mana cost. |

If you get two, that's a loop of unkillable 4/2 flyers in Limited. Six mana makes sense to me. |

Eternal Witness is considered above the curve. This is consistent with Archaeomancer and Izzet Chronarch. Higher mana cost isn’t so bad as you’re more likely to have a target by then |

...except what you described IS mana cost. Mana Value is the new term for CMC. |

Including this cycle in stx is a low risk way of seeing what players think of these sort of mana costs before they decide whether to use them more in future. And maybe there's a card that's too good at    but too weak at

Much rather it was or It's been a long time so maybe I am remembering it wrong but I think back in Return to Ravnica (2012) they said that there were more 5 color decks in limited than they wanted. Given the fixing and the power of the gold cards it was worth playing them even if both colors were splashes. The next time they went back we had the Crackling Drake cycle to encourage people to stick to 2 colors but with that you will sometimes just not draw the right lands. I think this is the next step in trying to make cards for 2 to 3 color decks in sets with lots of gold cards. |
