For Sidisi, name some creatures that can do some good things when they go into the graveyard.

Favorable Winds saw no play. This is a little bit better depending on the dragons spoiled. Please, print a 4cc dragon at rare kthxbai.Dragon Tempest is practically begging people to build dragon decks. Better stock up on Crucible of the Spirit Dragons before the price increase!

Gonna laugh if 2 weeks from now, the best dragon is still Stormbreath Dragon

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the mechanics in this set. I didn't expect rebound to return in this set, and certainly not for only one clan to get a returning mechanic, but it's a fun one that wasn't explored all that much in Rise of the Eldrazi.
All of the new cards look pretty fun.
Concerning why exploit would be keyworded, the issue is that if mechanic isn't given a name, then people simply don't notice it, which was a big issue with Mercadian Masques.

I think Kirblar is questioning why it needs a KEYWORD vs. just an ability word the way Ferocious does. Its possible another card specifically cares about Exploit ("when you exploit a creature..."), but it doesn't seem super likely.

Maybe they found that splitting it into two decisions provided some strategy with other elements of the set? i.e Exploiting for the sacrifice, but then not choosing to use the follow up effect?
That seems like it would be super narrow though

So something like...
Kolaghan Egg (3)
Artifact
Tap: Add R or B to your mana pool.
4BR, Tap, Sacrifice Kolaghan Egg: Put a 3/3 Red and Black Dragon Token with Flying and Haste onto the battlefield.

Or even something closer to the Ravnica Keyrunes.

Looking at spoilers and arguing for/against those cards is literally one of my favorite things in Magic.
Yeah, there's only so much you can do with creature mana rock cycles, especially if you assume they'll be sticking with the pattern of 3-mana ones. Maybe it could just be alternate banners and the flavor is you can pay a bunch of mana to signal Dragon reinforcements.
Also, almost called it.

Megamorph is pretty uninspired and someone should get fired for not calling it "Mightymorph" if they were going to use a silly phrase to describe it.
Also, 5-card cycle for each color with a Creature - Ranger with the ability.

X, sacrifice: search your deck for a dragon with converted mana x or less and put it into play.

That seems like it would be too good, even if the Dragon type is narrow.

Now that I look at it, the rules text for this suggests there might be other cards that specifically care about Exploit.

I suspect the main reason for keywording "exploit" is chunking. It's so much easier to refer to something like this if it has a single flavorful term applied to it. For the experienced player it's not hard to just think ETB + sac, but for newbies (and in card text) it's simpler to just say exploit. Yes it does balloon the card text a bit by separating the keyword from its actual payload, but the language is cleaner.
Of course, none of this precludes that we could see cards that trigger on exploit.

You could write it as an ability word, e.g. Ferocious:
Silumgar Butcher
Exploit - When Silumgar Butcher enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice a creature. If you do, target creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn.
FAKE EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, this is very different than Exploit as a keyword. If my opponent uses a protection spell on the creature I'm trying to kill in response to the trigger, I could choose to not sacrifice the creature. With Exploit as implemented now, I have to commit to the sacrifice. It also doesn't kill "shy" creatures for no cost.

Right, there are clear mechanical differences in how they split it up. Its just I'm not sure, until we see more cards with it, just how relevant those mechanical differences are ever going to be

I suspect the problem is that it needs to be alongside regular morph in a set for the gameplay to not become monotonous and predictable, and that level of complexity is something they don't see themselves doing
I'm not against Hexproof when it's on expensive cards, just when it's on cheap cards. Still happy though!

Its good with Prowess in general. I assume Distortion Strike will be a thing; mercifully, Consuming Vapors is not in Ojutai colors.

Lets see what I said when the card was spoiled.....
Yeah, I was pretty mad.

Something a little overlooked by previews. Updates to the Legacy Cube and which cards are being rotated out.

Also, Legacy Cube will be running March 18 - April 1. It hasn't been running too much recently due to Release and Prerelease Events.

I think it got cut on the same grounds that Eureka did, e.g. Randy considered it a trap card with a bad win percentage.

Show and Tell is a great card. Randy is off his rocker. It's a backup plan that gives redundancy to Reanimator and Ramp. I'm really sad to see it go.
Distortion Strike while W/U Heroic is a thing sounds way too dirty. Maybe a more expensive version of it.

Cruel Edict was in Fate Reforged at some point. If its in DTK that deck is deader than dead.

It always feels like a cosmic injustice when your opponent makes a stupid risky play and you don't have anything to punish them for it.
