For Wizard Wednesday: This guy, or more specifically this guy plus six of his closest clone friends.
Lullmage Mentor {1}{U}{U} Creature — Merfolk Wizard Whenever a spell or ability you control counters a spell, you may create a 1/1 blue Merfolk creature token. Tap seven untapped Merfolk you control: Counter target spell. “Many voices are needed to quiet this land.” 2/2 Illustrated by Jaime Jones

I prototyped a version of this with Yurlok of Scorch Thrash as the commander but I'd rather have them be the actual commanders. The timing is a little awkward on them (Raggadragga wants them to attack first, Tyvar wants them to tap for mana first) but all-manadorks deck is surprisingly powerful.
Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss {2}{R}{G} Legendary Creature — Human Boar Each creature you control with a mana ability gets +2/+2. Whenever a creature you control with a mana ability attacks, untap it. Whenever you cast a spell, if at least seven mana was spent to cast it, untap target creature. It gets +7/+7 and gains trample until end of turn. 4/4 Tyvar the Bellicose {2}{B}{G} Legendary Creature — Elf Warrior Whenever one or more Elves you control attack, they gain deathtouch until end of turn. Each creature you control has “Whenever a mana ability of this creature resolves, put a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to the amount of mana this creature produced. This ability triggers only once each turn.” “Today, we become gods again.” 5/4

I run a Chromatic Lantern in my five-color bracket 4 Superfriends deck alongside the best color fixing money can buy. Is it necessary? Rarely, but it's nice to have when I need it.
A (foil Korean) Chromatic Lantern next to foil signed fetchlands, foreign black bordered duals, and foil foreign signets.

I still miss being able to donate non-white decks a very beneficial gift of Celestial Dawn in my Zedruu deck.
Celestial Dawn {1}{W}{W} Enchantment Lands you control are Plains. Nonland permanents you control are white. The same is true for spells you control and nonland cards you own that aren’t on the battlefield. You may spend white mana as though it were mana of any color. You may spend other mana only as though it were colorless mana.

I mean, Poughkeepsie Proper has nothing but Vassar, but it's sandwiched between IBM's still-existent-albeit-smaller office campus to the south and the CIA to the north. That said, I wouldn't choose to live in Poughkeepsie Proper.
the CIA - the Culinary Institute of America, which has their main campus in Hyde Park just north of Poughkeepsie

But why is "this ability requires a hybrid mana cost" okay when it's hidden inside the comprehensive rules/reminder text on Blind Obedience but not okay when it's printed on Agrus Kos, Eternal Soldier? They're both triggered abilities that require hybrid mana but could be paid in mono-white.
Agrus Kos, Eternal Soldier {3}{W} Legendary Creature — Spirit Soldier Vigilance Whenever Agrus Kos becomes the target of an ability that targets only it, you may pay {1}{R/W}. If you do, copy that ability for each other creature you control that ability could target. Each copy targets a different one of those creatures. ({R/W} can be paid with either {R} or {W}.) 3/4

My pittie mix needs not just a harness, but the extra-long harness with the extra strap that goes behind the ribcage; he's never been aggressive with other dogs, but he got so scared that he pulled his way out of a more conventional just-around-front-legs harness.

Yeah, if it was actually Bluesky declaring they didn't like Antifa it would either be straight-up suspended accounts or an Extremist label:

The second print run of German Revised Demonic Tutor - I have 24 copies of it, all signed by Douglas Shuler. I started collecting it because of the flavor text from Faust - at the time, the only other printing with flavor text had art showing Kothophed creepily carving tattoos into Liliana's chest.
Six copies of the foreign white bordered Demonic Tutor, with Douglas Shuler's signature on it. The card features the flavor text "Das also war des Pudels Kern! Ein fahrender Skolast? Der Kasus macht mich lachen. - J.W. Goethe, Faust", referencing Faust's first encounter with Mephistopheles, who transformed from being disguised as a poodle to a new disguise as a wandering scholar.

Go fuck yourself, dude.

What if I'm not a baker, but I'm still using cloves? I do a kitchen pepper (pumpkin spice plus salt/pepper) and cocoa powder rub for my sous vide porkchops.

Animation Module is so gross in my Grismold deck, especially if I have Illness in the Ranks out.
Grismold, the Dreadsower {1}{B}{G} Legendary Creature — Troll Shaman Trample At the beginning of your end step, each player creates a 1/1 green Plant creature token. Whenever a creature token dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Grismold. 3/3

Just a smol bean who wants to flicker himself a lot. Pay no attention to the Purphoros and the Confusion in the Ranks I'm holding behind my back.
Norin the Wary {R} Legendary Creature — Human Warrior When a player casts a spell or a creature attacks, exile Norin. Return it to the battlefield under its owner’s control at the beginning of the next end step. “I have a bad feeling about this.” 2/1
