The black cards are really powerful in Foundations. The reprints, especially. I did not expect that we would have these options just sitting around in standard now. All but the fourth cards on this list are fully capable of changing the course of a game. They will (sometimes indirectly) win the whole thing. Plus, you can put all of these into the same style of deck.
Dear reader, oh, our dear readers, the following tale doesn’t fit into any single genre. It is a fantasy tale, in a medieval land, yes. And there’s a strange type of magic that anyone can spontaneously have, for certain. That is fantastical. No arguing about that.
The Wild Robot is, simply put, almost as perfect an animated movie as there could be. I am in awe of it. The writing, the character work, the multiple incredible scenes. If you have not yet experienced this movie—even if you’ve been spoiled on the plot—you should seek it out immediately.
Generic blue cards see a lot of use, and clearly, Foundations planned for that. Because my top five basically consists of generally useful spells for a large variety of decks. These don’t feel as flashy as the white cards—nor are there any haymakers. They’re just good cards.
In our last Friday Fiction, dear reader, we had a science fiction tale where a shoe was the most important thing.
This time, it’s a fantasy story—and the object in question is a hat.
Foundations is going to be around for a long time—and I’m honestly super happy with this idea. The constant shifting of Standard is one of the reasons I fell off it. I like getting to play a pet deck long enough to get good at it. It’s rewarding.
I fear repetition in my review of Rouge Protocol. At this point, it’s clear that the series is a continuous stream of one-off adventures. SecUnit goes to a place—usually to find out the answer to something—and meets some humans and is then pushed into an action scenario where SecUnit has to save those humans.
What does that title mean? Well, dear reader, I’m afraid I cannot tell you. The story will reveal such matters.
I Found a Circus Tent in the Woods Behind My House is a stark contrast to the first book in the “I Found Horror” series. It’s technically the second book, but was published first. I’m unsure of why it’s set up that way, except perhaps to give a better starting impression.
“Maiden Mother Crone” finally, fully, completely confirms the name of this show. While I’d argue Billy did a lot of it, it was Agatha’s actions that kicked off everything. The song she and her son sang, the schemes she managed to pull off: everything comes back to her, her relationships, and her mistakes. It lends cohesion to the series. It makes this twisty story more than the sum of its parts.
What is the opposite of a standard werewolf curse? In the average story, you get bitten by a werewolf and turn into one every full moon. Care to take a guess what’s different about this one?
Happy Halloween, everyone! We hope that you’ve had a ton of fun this year—and enjoyed something spooky.
