Every Day Is A Reason To Celebrate 🥂🥳

This card boasts two Maddocks arts and two flavo texts. While it is three mana for a 2/1, first strike helps, and Regenerate - even at two mana - still helps me to love this card. I love skeletons, and this card did - are largely still does - feel like a *smart* card with decent utility whenever you drew it (regenerate always helps with this).

#Memorable

I’ve seen the shortened version of Cab Calloway’s St James Infirmary Blues from the Betty Boop Snow White 1933 cartoon on Tumblr a few times, thought you’d all like the full version.

When you discuss set complexity, what do you mean? I prefer a set with lots of mechanics being used in unique ways or in ways not seen the first time around, but I don't like complex/wordy effects.

There are three basic types of complexity:

Card complexity - Can you read the card and understand what it does?

Board complexity - How hard is it to understand what's happening on the battlefield, how the individual cards interact with one another?

Strategic complexity - Do you understand how to best play the card?

You dislike card complexity, but seem to enjoy some amount of board complexity (and I'm guessing strategic complexity).

On a separate axis, there are numerous mental skills that Magic cards can tap into and some are probably easier for you than others. For example, maybe you're poor with memory tasks, but good at picturing hypotheticals (aka future board states).
