@wotcmatt.bsky.social I know release notes aren’t out yet, but could you confirm that this works as intended?
Ashling gives Elemental Spells cast from your hand Evoke 4. Since it doesn’t specify Elemetnal permanent spells, Kindred spells could gain Evoke and then just go to the Graveyard normally?

![702.74a Evoke represents two abilities: a static ability that functions in any zone from which the card with evoke can be cast and a triggered ability that functions on the battlefield. "Evoke [cost]" means "You may cast this card by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "When this permanent enters, if its evoke cost was paid, its controller sacrifices it." Casting a spell for its evoke cost follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f-h.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cejxe6cpzh7xayrybhxa24gy/bafkreihi55vg5cmikissrr7pu5sf5y4r3shpom53k2ix76zx3avs74v5ui@jpeg)

I know "Glup Shitto" is a fun word to say and it sounds smart/obvious to drag creatives re: "So out of ideas you're making a movie out of ____!" [WhatsHISstory.GIF] but it's worth remembering that almost the entire MCU was built on IP *nobody* gave a sh-- about except Hulk and Spider-Man 🤷♂️

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Sir Terry Pratchett summed it up well in Hogfather:
'And there's the sign, Ridcully,' said the Dean. 'You have read it, I assume. You know? The sign which says "Do not, under any circumstances, open this door"?'
'Of course I've read it,' said Ridcully. 'Why d'yer think I want it opened?'

I think it's funny how much time and effort we spend trying to create warnings for future civilizations about radioactive waste dumps, as if any of us actually heeded the warnings on ancient tombs. Humans do not heed warnings unless deeply tied to religious dogma. And even then!

Sadly went 1-2 with this Draft list, losing two very close game 3s, but 4x Aangs was hilarious, especially given everyone at the table could see me taking them
I laughed so hard when I was passed the second Aang at the crossroads in P3 that I didn’t even look at the rest of the pack
