Michi, Eager Customer — Nontoken. You meant to say nontoken artifact or enchantment, I hope. Got some weird loyalties too, like 4 starter on a six mana tricolor walker. Otherwise, this is a pretty good summation of URW. 7/10

"Cat sanctuaries? I like cat sanctuaries." I follow meowstress Lettie to her other shop. "I really don't know the names of what I need but I hope a description helps. Meow brother tends to get in fights A LOT. But like, really a lot. Once he spent like a week fighting in a colosseum. Without stop. We had to leave that plane because people stopped going to the battle pit because he won all the time. But he also got hurt a lot." I may be digressing from. The subject. "So meow healing skills are really not that good so I wanted some options to help him regenerate while in battle. I take out my sketchbook and my notes. "Look at this, meowstress." I show her a drawing of meowster Brayden with the green arm swollen and scarred. "This happened to meowster Brayden after an overexposure to green meowna from a thing called 'Meowx Emerald'. He believes that it can be a spiritual possession, but I have the theory that it is connected with the blind eternities. Do you have any potions of other stuff that can help meow in this meowtter?" I take a coin purse from my backpack and look at her with my best face of 'I'm an innocent cat that's definitely not here for your books. Shopping Trip Instant If was spent to cast this spell return target card from your graveyard to your hand. If was spent to cast this spell draw two cards. Exile ~.  Artifact , : Target player exiles a card from their graveyard.  , : Exile target card from a graveyard.
Shopping Trip — Given that our usual regrowth effects are sorcery speed, and our marginal comparison to another card that nets two, Jace's Ingenuity, this sort of effect and cost would have me guess Sorcery. Otherwise, this is neat. 8/10 |

Lettie lays down at the end of a day. Most of the day had been spent taking care of the cats, and sending a handful of her Arena customers through the aether tunnels, to try and familiarize them with the new "system". As though what this was could be called a system. Before, Lettie had an inkling of what kind of shop she wanted to establish across the planes, but she still had so many ventures not connected to the "hub" next to Atlas that this was somehow more complicated than what she had before. At least it made scheduling on the now permanent locations far easier. If it didn't, she wouldn't even have the chance to rest right now.
The aether tunnels themselves were the spoils of outrageous fortune, and her seizing upon the opportunity. The cats were making business difficult right now, but they were only temporary. In the worst case, none of them would be around in twenty years. Interplanar travel was a one time hurdle, and she could have it forever... or until she died, anyway. Whichever came first. But there was a clod upon this silver. "I... there's something weird going on around here. And I wonder if EPIC's cats are connected." Perhaps Pidge had been cursed indeed, and if EPIC's cats were connected, Lettie had profited from it. The aether tunnels were definitely worth more than the weight in cats, after all. It would be a rotten bit of business then... but there was a certain... satisfaction to considering the possibility. That little runt had a head start on Lettie by a matter of decades, but even she could stumble, and every stumble was another chance to overtake- You little monster. She thinks you're her friend. I... I am her friend. I think. Maybe she's just being nice, and doesn't think much of me at all. And maybe I'm just keeping her around to make sure she doesn't go anywhere she shouldn't. Maybe if she starves, she wouldn't- Lettie, don't think like this. You barely had any friends before, and Pidge might be your only friend now. The hell are friends good for? Acting like they don't notice everything that's wrong with you? Letting you make a damn fool of yourself? ...It could be a nice illusion. Maybe I could try to make some more friends. Maybe this will be the time everything goes right. That's what this new life is about. But not if the old one comes creeping in. Pidge is innocent, but her innocence might still lead to her causing great... misfortune, for me, if through no fault of her own she finds something she shouldn't.
So Lettie couldn't just throw away Pidge. She wasn't living a new life just to exist after all. But she couldn't spend too many resources helping her with this new problem. That would be a wasted opportunity. She could even let it fester a bit, add some of her own curses too, and Pidge might still survive. But what if she didn't? What if one day, her entire business collapses, and Lettie would be able to do nothing but support her? Would the curses then, too great to number, crawl into Lettie's life as well? Her own desire would doom her then. So what if Lettie instead did her utmost to rid Pidge of these troubles, maybe get some invaluable goodwill for it, become very close friends indeed? But you can't truly be good friends with someone and control them. Pidge would still have the means to ruin everything, even if through no fault of her own. Pidge wasn't the only person who posed this problem either. It felt... natural, comfortable to talk small details about her home, but Lettie knew that enough of these details shared with the same persistent people, even if she could make those people her friends, especially if they were her friends, would doom her all the same. But no one wants to know someone who doesn't want to talk about anything they know or have done. She couldn't have it both ways.
What is my 'true form'? Am I the Bitter Star, or am I a human? Am I going to try and wrest control of my fate from all I meet, no matter the monstrous consequences? Or will I try to live as I have always wanted, friends and all, with the lurking threat of having it all evaporate in an instant?
You can't take half measures. Cure the cause outright, or accept the inevitable symptoms.
One could say that instead of choosing, one can wait. Of course, waiting is still a choice, and it's the choice I'll take. I can wait, if I just prepare for the split second decisions I'll inevitably have to make. I'll cross those bridges when I get to them... or burn them.

Lettie tries to keep her immediate reactions of disdain from showing as she listens to the request. "To start with, the most cost effective option for Doer's regeneration is to keep him from getting into so many fights. But given the way you act around him, you're probably already trying that. I have potions of regeneration, which are designed to stop bleeding, and to speed recovery from injuries and to provide the materials necessary to do so. However, if you use them for your brother, you must not dose him with more than one at a time, even if he wants to 'regenerate faster'. The component that stops bleeding will, at high portions, turn his blood into jelly. I'm serious. He will die. For this reason, I recommend you also buy some very cost ineffective potions of healing, which, to put it colloquially, just put more blood and such into his body. Something to tide your bra- er, brother over when he's impatient. Overdosing on that is more difficult when injured, but causes high blood pressure and possible heart attacks." Lettie takes a moment to take a look at the drawing of the green arm. "I can't say I've met a master called Brayden, but the first thing that comes to mind... where I'm from, a lot of Wizards would, for the sake of efficiency, use magic to transform themselves into beings more naturally suited to destruction. They would often forget themselves, which made transforming back quite difficult, and even if they could, it would in some ways taint what was once their 'true form'. They would take upon a 'true form' that was neither their old selves nor the transformation. It's possible that Brayden might not be possessed, but instead is transforming in both body and mind whenever this magic resurfaces. And, in the worst case, that may now be his new 'true form'. ...Whenever we would speak of treating those cases, it was all just euphemisms for killing them. Best I can do right now is mix a potion for Brayden that will act as a mental inhibitor triggered by green mana, so that whenever that transformation takes place, it will be difficult for him to go from thinking about something to doing that something... assuming he wasn't already a green practitioner."Potion of Forgetfulness Artifact , : Target player exiles a card from their graveyard. , : Exile target card from a graveyard.

"No! I don't want to kill anyone, meowstress!" I take some notes about the 'true forms'. "I think he hadn't used green mana before, but I can't assure you that. I'll take the potion for now, but I may be better if he comes to see you himself." I look at the shelves. "So, meowstress... no books are for sale? I'll probably go off plane soon and I need something new to read..."Bargaining Instant Counter target spell or ability unless its controller has you draw three cards. Potion of Forgetfulness: Seems like a good hate piece. 8/10 Target opponent reveals any number of cards that do not share any card types, and discards the rest.
Bargaining — Interesting, in that the card draw option is only palatable if you're casting at 4 CMC or higher, which kind of enforces that the card as a counter is equal or less than the cost of the thing you're countering. However, I'm pretty sure you have to specify triggered or activated, like Disallow does. 9/10 |

Lettie seethes with anger as she hears the same subjects as before. She tries to keep it from her face, but for a moment, there is murder in her eyes. And then it fades at Michi's offer, as she wonders how she must appear. "You must be a very quick artist to simply offer a work on the spot. I'm going to want it before I give you any books. Even then, I must tell you as I did before, I am an apothecary. I'm really not interested in those things. I haven't ever encountered any time travelling plants or illnesses, and very little can live in the blind eternities. The best I could give you right now is 'An Incomplete Guide to Calavan', as that's a network of planes like islands in the blind eternities. The only reason I say this now is because I didn't have it the last time you asked." Lettie crosses her arms. "So, if that sounds good enough to you, start drawing." She wonders how the cat must see her, and tries to keep from cringing as she recalls where that kind of curiosity got her in the past. She was going to regret this, wasn't she.Cracked Mirror Artifact , Sacrifice Cracked Mirror: Exile target token creature. , Sacrifice Cracked Mirror: Create a token that's a copy of target creature you control. p Sides of Yourself  Sorcery For each creature each player controls, each other player creates a token that's a copy of that creature.

"Very interesting, thank you, meowstres." I start drawing. First a rough scketch. Just to get the pose right. When I'm sure I've got it I start with the details. "This is going to take some time, so you can do whatever you need to meownwhile, meowstress." The hair. Humans like when you get the hair right. The eyes, the most important part. I outline the dress and the footwear, then add some details. After half an hour or so, the main part is finished. Then I add the color, tones of green, red and black. The last part is the enviroment, endless shelves of potions. "I think it's complete. It needs some time to dry, though." The drawing shows her majestic like a queen, but in her usual clothes of shopkeeper. She also looks a bit intimidating, like a lioness ready to jump upon her prey. "I hope this is enough payment." I say, as I put some coins in the counter.p Sides of Yourself Sorcery For each creature each player controls, each other player creates a token that's a copy of that creature.

Sides of Yourself — Good god, the chaos this would cause in EDH, just for the hell of it. However, besides that, I'm not certain there are many situations I would be willing to cast this for its cost. Best case is a crackback when you have an empty board and the attacker hit you with everything. My first guess for a cost I'd play it at would be 2UR, and I'd still be iffy there. 7/10 |

"I hope so too," Lettie mutters, gingerly taking aside the drawing, and glancing at it. And then freezing in place, as a strange softness creeps into her eyes. It was... dignified. She wished she could be that person, and to live with such pride. If this was how the cat saw her- No, it isn't. He's not going to pay you with a demeaning depiction. It's just flattery. You even look like a human being in this. Lettie shakes her head until she derails the train of thought. "It's thank- it y-" Come on. "It's lovely. Thank you. Truly. If... you need any more help with Brayden's case, you're welcome to come back to me." Lettie carefully places the drawing in a safe place to dry, and returns to the front to straighten out change with Michi. She regrets nothing.Sunset Morel Creature — Fungus When Sunset Morel enters the battlefield, each player reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card, then puts those cards into their graveyard. , Sacrifice Sunset Morel: Return target land card from a graveyard to the battlefield tapped under your control. 0/3 It bugs me that this is a fungus and has no interaction with saprolings.

"It's no great matter," Lettie lies, stuffing the note and device she had been looking over into her pocket. "I've considered enlisting some non-planeswalker help, but they'd have to have training comparable to mine, as an apothecary at least, which might be difficult to match. Where I'm from, material components and ingredients of magic are crucial, and I haven't seen any other plane like that." Briefly, Lettie hoped that no other sparked had seen that plane. "Then there's the worry that they might, in their spare time, start digging through my books, and read all about all the other planes I've been studying. I understand that there are some interplanar initiatives, but they can't have reached all the ones I trade in, so I have to maintain that bit of secrecy. I also can't keep all of my wares in every shop for the same reason, so staff would have difficulty helping planeswalkers. There are very few people you can trust to run a shop full of this many dangerous items and this much potentially dangerous information. That, and I'd have to rework my alarms to account for any new staff."Solitary Bear Creature — Bear When Solitary Bear enters the battlefield, you may search your library for up to three cards named Solitary Bear, exile them, then shuffle your library. 2/2
Trace the Eternities — You've got some issues on your second mode, particularly the lack of shuffle clause, and the fact that the card can potentially go back into the hand or library, a hidden zone. You'd likely have to exile that card, then give it the impulse and mana spending effect. Otherwise, this is potentially a nasty card, as it can tutor a creature right out of an opponent's hand. Add in the fact that most creatures are sorcery speed, and that lobotomize effects typically are as well, and I'd say this should probably be a sorcery. Otherwise, things like colorless conversion only and lobotomize all crossed with steal one are good qualities. 7/10
Khon replies, considering the woman's mentions. "I have not heard of any planes myself where materials are used commonly in magic, though I am aware of a number of spells or rituals that do require specific items of focus, or specific catalysts." He pauses for a moment, before saying, "Your reasons do make sense, though - and I can understand that the issues of training or specialized knowledge would also apply to constructs and homunculi, so those would not be particularly viable solutions either. You mentioned, though, that you are an apothecary... do you deal in other wares as well, or is it just your potions, and the ingredients to create them?"Cauldron Construct  Artifact Creature - Construct , : Create a Potion artifact token with "Sacrifice this artifact: Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn." , : Create a Poison artifact token with "Sacrifice this artifact: Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn." 2/2 |

"I think it's better if he comes to see you himself. Thank you for the potions, meowstress. And don't worry. I'll bring back the book." I turn to leave, but in the last moment, i remember I still have two letters in my pocket. I hope she doesn't get offended by this. "Just one more thing. Pidge, the kithkin lady gave me a letterand I had to make some copies of it." I continue in a softer tone. "It says that if I deliver five, I'll be blessed with great fortune but if I don't I'll unleash DOOM. So, this one's for you." I hand her a closed envelope. "I don't know if it works if you don't open it so do wathever you see fit, meowstress. Meowbe you want to give it to someone else or something. Anyways, I should be leaving.

It's... interesting, I guess? I don't think it works as a common, because it's difficult to look at this and say 'why would I want to take advantage of that ability'? At the same time, it's particularly weak for being uncommon or rare. It works as a counter to Trace the Eternities... but even that's a bit of a stretch... maybe there's something I'm just not seeing here, but it doesn't really strike me as 'good' in any regard. 7/10"I see," Khon replies, considering the woman's mentions.

"I also have excess oils from the creation process, and I'll sometimes sell excess plants as well. There's alcohol, though I doubt you need it. Despite what it may seem, the books aren't for sale. I just don't have anywhere else to store them at the moment. I suppose lastly, I can perform some healing magic personally, as well as other magics. Now that I can draw mana from across planes, I no longer have quite the need for materials as I once did. I hope that answers your questions."Flask Seeper Creature — Plant Whenever an artifact is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on Flask Seeper. 1/1
Not to hurry you, but this started in 0-100, and Lettie's close to 300-400. I'd like to see Khon again, but hopefully in a more present time. Cauldron Construct — Activation followed by activation is a bit irksome, considering these are on-board trick counters. This is also marginally better than a creature pinger, since you can build up a lethal amount of damage, and store it when there are no other creatures on board. I think this needs a development pass. However, the lack of reliance on present creatures is a design with a bit of potential. 7/10 |

When Lettie returns to the bakery location, there's a familiar blue letter on her desk. There is additional gold script on the back.
Well now, that was rude of her, wasn't it?
No worries dear, you still have your chance.
— JBack for More  Sorcery Return up to three target nonland permanent cards with total converted mana cost 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.
It wasn't possible, not for Pidge, anyway. She would have had to make a new letter, with the extra script, in front of Lettie, then walk to Lettie's home, then back to PB&J, and Lettie would have seen her, or Lettie would have been already walking on her one-way trip, with a stride quicker than any walker she'd met. The letter couldn't have teleported itself across the planes. Magic that transports anything more than information across planes requires massive amounts of energy, from what she'd read in the documentation Zeni had left her. So it must have been someone else. That much would have been likely already, since Pidge claimed to have also been cursed.
Perhaps the alarms had seen whoever it was, and if they had, this was no time to be crouching and sobbing. Lettie gets up, and starts querying each of the alarms in her home, from the stuffed bears, to the elk heads, the alligators, and the turtles. Something in here must have seen something, even if it was too small to immediately notify her, or if she had been too distracted with Pidge to notice an alert. Whoever was doing this, they had made a mistake, going after Lettie directly. Once she had her clues, she would hunt them down, and there would be no need for rehearsal.Lettie Wormwood can now create Instant cards.Erase the Past Instant Exile X target cards from target player's graveyard. Draw a card.
Back for More — This one's a pretty tough one to evaluate developmentally. Design-wise, it's a pretty good interpretation of what white cares about, and how pink might apply that to a wider selection of cards than creatures. I think most of the time, the best casting mode is the one that gets you three cmc 1 cards, since that usually has the largest potential value. I'm a bit wary of that mode, but otherwise, the card's good. 8/10 |

// An inky smoke had flowed into Lettie's shop, collecting in the dark corners of the room. A pitch black hand had set the blue letter down. "Well now, that was rude of her, wasn't it?" The gold lettering began writing her voice. "No worries dear, you still have your chance." There was a short laughter before the hand dissipated, and the figure was gone faster than she arrived.Labyrinthine Trap Artifact If a card would leave the battlefield or a player's graveyard, exile it instead. , : Starting with you, each player puts a card exiled with Labyrinthine Trap into it's owner's graveyard. , : Starting with you, each player puts a card exiled with Labyrinthine Trap into it's owner's hand. , : Starting with you, each player puts a card exiled with Labyrinthine Trap onto the battlefield under their control.
Silver Retriever Creature — Hound Flash When Silver Retriever enters the battlefield, exile target artifact or enchantment an opponent controls until Silver Retriever leaves the battlefield. 2/2
Labrynthine Trap — Symmetric cheat effect is the most immediately concerning, but seems to be of appropriate cost. I also like the incentive against removing it, though it would be stupid to let it stick around in most cases, bar multiplayer politics. I, however, do not like that it affects leaving the battlefield in any way, including bounce, as well as the graveyard, when it puts things there. I currently hope that Silver Retriever's effect gets replaced with it being poofed entirely. 7/10 |

A fireball crashes against the ground near one of Lettie's shops, flames smoldering over dead grass while the sounds of combat and chaos filled the air. A raucous cry erupted over the small town the the shop was situated near, aglow from a blazing that stretched into the sky. Running in, out, and throughout the burning village, civilians and warriors alike ran for their lives, some unceremonious cut short in their path by the town's assailants. There'd be nothing left in a few hours time. {Attack Card -Into the Breach}  |

Into the Breach — Thanks for the reminder text. I was about to go on about repeatable through the breach without sacrifice otherwise. While this is definitely far more reasonable, I don't really understand the utility. I can already cast creature cards from my hand by paying their costs, sometimes with flash too. All this seems to do is let you put creatures without flash onto the stack with somewhat convenient timings, since the creatures come in unable to block. The card also comes in with a flavourful downside, but I'd appreciate it much more if there were an upside. 5/10 |

test The fumes begin to make their way over the town, flowing forward over buildings and snuffing fires in its wake. The dark cloud continues unhindered, almost encompassing the area entirely before a loud yell, combined with a thunderous crack reverberated throughout the region. As quickly as it came, the advancing cloud was blown away in a sudden wind, which fueled any fires that were still burning. The chaos of the village was in plain view. Villagers and marauders dead and dying were strewn throughout the square. Buildings reduced to rubble and contains smashed open. Whoever had decided to raid this settlement, it was clear they had not been holding back. "Aye! Whatcha think you're doing with that cloud of yours?!" A loud, bellowing voice yelled at Lettie, soon followed by the heavy fall of hooves approaching her. Coming into her sight, a large, impressive centaur wielding a greatclub stopped several meters away from her. Two horns sprouted over her head, her humanoid half of her body tattooed and physically impressive. Behind her, several more warriors, centaur and members of other races alike, filed in, taking up the space behind her as their apparent leader confronted the alchemist. "Well? I asked ya a question!"{Response Card - Cleansing Air} 
Hungering Darkness: This is more of a white effect, given Choking Fumes, but the damage prevention is green. It's hard to decide how to really rate this effect, since WG isn't really color that feels like it would have this effect. 6/10.

Lettie gives the centaur a blank stare, and pulls down the soaked kerchief. Here stood one woman amidst the rubble and corpses, before a raiding party, not even out of her shopkeeper's dress, with an expression a mix between excessive focus and utter cluelessness. "I hadn't been paying attention. I would have thought you'd charge first, and ask questions never. With that question out of the way..." With surprising speed, she throws a flask from her belt to the ground. "...You're welcome to go ahead and charge." The rubble begins to sink into the ground, now a boiling mass of mud that mires the entire raiding party.Unsteady Ground Instant Put a +1/+1 counter on a creature you control. Prevent all damage that would be dealt this turn by creatures without counters on them.
Cleansing Air — Could stand to be generalized to any number of counters of any kind. You're not cheating Dark Depths with this, after all. Otherwise, seems appropriately costed, if situational. 8/10 |

Silver Retriever Creature — Hound Flash When Silver Retriever enters the battlefield, exile target artifact or enchantment an opponent controls until Silver Retriever leaves the battlefield. 2/2 - hmm, might be able to be a bit beefier compared to rec sage, maybe flash eats enough of the budget tho. 8/10
The night after getting her letter back, a golden line slithered its way out of the bag with the letter and made its way to Lettie.
If examined, the additional script on the back of the envelope has disappeared.Golden Signature Artifact Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, its controller may put a signature counter on Golden Signature or remove one. , Sacrifice Golden Signature: It deals damage equal to the number of signature counters on it to any target. |

Destroy target artifact or enchantment unless its controller creates a 3/3 green Ooze token tapped under your control.
Golden Signature — Seems to expect three damage or so, going by the costs. It seems like it'd be an interesting bit of politics in multiplayer, potentially, but I feel like more often people will just vote it down, and primarily you trying to fuel it yourself. Compare and contrast to Impact Tremors. 8/10 |

: Scry 2. If you control three or more artifacts and/or enchantments, draw a card.
: ~ deals X damage to any target and you gain X life, where is the number of artifacts and enchantments you control.
