Uncommon 2

Yeah, Aftermath would be ok, I just don't like the name flavor-wise for this set. Finality counters makes Aftermath worse, and Vestige better. I also was thinking that a set with graveyard matters might have at least a few cards that will exile cards from the grave, making the sorcery recurrable. But I might be overthinking this.

vizionarius how about this?

Mythic/Rare 1/1

And if I took someone's spot; there's always the foil.

melono :
- Grimy Goblin: like the use of finality counters to make a new unearth-like, and the mechanic itself has legs; however, I think the re-emerge cost for this card specifically might be too low. outside that, it not having a keyword is probably balanced, so this is a low 3/5
- Values of Ivenge: first mode's weird to evaluate because it's so swingy (situational against mixed decks, useless against Humans, good edict against non-Human), but the enchantment sac option helps this be relevant more often. comes down to a 3/5
- Zealot of Ivenge: using finality counters at common is wacky, but just enough complexity at common I think. like the weird white "deathtouch". stats are balanced for the buff that's ultimately not that impactful outside limited, but effective in limited. 4/5
- Out with the New: while this is just on the border of being too specific to be a sideboard option, the basic landcycling helps. considering Human Frailty, I think the lower window of opportunity combined with the landcycling is balanced; still, this kind of hoser would imo be smoother for Limited purposes as a Parasitic Grasp type deal where you can make it more general if you need to; tutoring basics to hand stops mattering after a few turns. with that, it's a 2/5
- Ivenge, Covers the Truth: now _this_ is a hard-to-judge meatball. I think Agglomerate's realistically going to be at about 2-3 by the time you cast this on curve unless you're specifically building for a self-mill deck: let's assume 3. I would like the +Y more if this were in-color for white: getting to recur cards from grave to this much of an extent, even if it's shuffled, is outside white's wheelhouse according to my research, and I don't think white needs the effect in its toolbox or that it's a reasonable outgrowth from what white already gets. aside from that, the +Y comes out balanced overall; adding that much loyalty at once is strong, but the effect is ultimately minor, functioning as grave hate for your opponent or very, very limited recur. the -Z, even with help from the +Y, is fairly weak for a 1WWW walker that makes you spend cards self-milling just for it to enter with any loyalty at all: while repeatable removal on a walker needs to be balanced properly, making your walker go closer to death to make it an O-Ring is just on the other side of too weak for the mana cost, the Agglomerate loyalty condition, and the lack of self-prot. appreciate the out-there design concept, but this can't go higher than a low 2/5 even with that.
vizionarius :
- Peer into Henkela: Agglomerate being a variable instead of a solid 4 like Delirium is an interesting choice. as a four-banger like Delirium, I think the card is balanced for what it does; I think Agglomerate 4 will be slightly easier to proc than Delirium, and while there are no examples of Delirium doing this effect, the Agglomerate boost is substantial without being pushed. "as long as" should be "if", though, given that it's a oneshot effect. that's a minor issue, though, so I'll still call this a high 3/5
- Väki of Fire: base Aura stats/buff are balanced with the Human restriction, Channel cost also seems fair given the uncounterability and such: together, they make a slightly pushed common, but to an acceptable level of power. that makes it effective as a neat modal that helps make Auras more worthwhile in Limited, which I appreciate. also appreciate you using the Ä dots to deal psychic damage to Anglophones, even if that doesn't factor into the rating. 4/5
- Premonitition of Wilderness: Channeling lands to field at instant speed looks iffy at first, but at 4 and limited to Forests looks fine considering the recent Topiary Panther's basic landcycling 1G. however, tutoring lands to field at turn 4 just seems pointless unless you're specifically playing ramp, and even then ramp would mostly want to do low-curve dorks/Auras to get set up early. Topiary Panther and such have that low cycling cost so they have another use case early-game; Premonition's two modes are so close together that this isn't really achieved. gonna say 2/5 here
- Sorrow//Solace: not really feeling how Vestige lets you cast it from exile regardless of the source that exiled it; cheapening the permanence of exile effects is something that should be done sparingly, and while it can be fine on occasional oneoffs, having it be a set mechanic is too much for me. would like this more if Vestige had some kind of Adventure-like restriction baked in instead. Sorrow's a cool creature, though; neat "deathtouch" effect, but still weak enough that having an additional card stapled on top is justified. that elevates this to 2/5

Idea :
- Isokentta Crop-Kin: like the use of Bestow, but this card is egregiously pushed both at common and in general. Isamaru at common would be enough to make that call on its own, even now, but afaik there's only one Aura that gives +2/+2's worth of stats at one mana, and that only does it conditionally. also way too much complexity going on at common. can't go higher than a 1/5 on this one

lordpat :
- Restless Survivor: compared to Commune with the Gods, the typal restriction to Human and the amount of cards revealed, I think this is just about balanced as a creature as well. neat FT. 3/5
