Fun fact about this card: True to its “odd matters” theme, almost every relevant number on the card is an odd number. - Her mana cost is odd (CMC 5) - Her card name has an odd number of words (3) - Each word in that name has an odd number of characters (7, 5, 9) - She has an odd number of keyword abilities (3) - Her written-out ability has an odd number of words in it (33) - Her power and toughness are both odd numbers (3/5) - The flavor text contains an odd number of words (9) - Each word in the flavor text has an odd number of characters (3, 5, 5, 7, 3, 9, 5, 3, 7) - Even her collector number is odd! (051)

UPDATE: I didn’t even notice this until actually watching through the video but apparently THE ART is not safe either. - Three eyes - Three horns - Three tips on the pelt on the floor - Three urns throughout the image - Three pillars in the background - The two side horns each have three little cloth bits hanging from them They went HARD with the Odd Numbers thing.

Building isn't necessarily about being good. Just throw a bunch of your favorite cards together, play test a metric ton, and make adjustments based on what your deck struggles to do or against. Thats how I have always built my decks, and most people hate going against my decks. Mainly because I stumble into "oops I win" combos

My opinion of cost numbers in MTG: 0: Not fair to judge, the cost is in the text. 1: The first sign of things being free. Despite its status, it is weirdly often how it is the lynchpin in a gameplan. 2: Vinny's Cheapo Cards lot. Are simple, do maybe 1 thing, and then fuck off and die. 3: Now we are cooking with gas. The minimum for any tricolor deck. You can get buckwild with this. There aren't many wincons, but there is certainly a lot of fun stuff. My favorite yCMC 4: This is where the fun really gets going. They will have 2 abilities, and a score that means that if you are no here to fight them stop wasting your time. 5: A number of power. The climb to the summit begins here. If you have a card worth 5, it better be worth it. 6: Ok, I mean now it is getting overly bougie. We are approaching territory of cards that exist to do crimes for. 7: Yeah, now that is a number. This is where wincons begin. 8: You better be playing well, because to get here you need to EARN it. 9+: This card exists only in the graveyard, and only for you to Victimize it back to life on BOGO.
