The rabble rouser is either "of the rabble" or "above the rabble". I think this is an elegant differentiation.

What's your format of choice? Drafts can definitely be arranged.

We'll probably draft Khaos' cube again sometime I'm sure too.

Why does ᛋᚻᛖᛚᛚ ᛋᛈᛁᚱᛁᛏᛋ have a once-per turn limitation? Let people do their janky three-card combos!

I have a number of questions about Trusted Steed. If a Glory Seeker (white 2/2) rides the steed, it's a 4/4. What if Crusade then gets played? Is it a 5/5 or a 6/6? What about if Crusade is played first, and the 3/3 Glory Seeker rides the 3/3 Steed?

Royal Architect should maybe start at level 0, like the real level-up creatures? Also, am I correct in assuming that it can't use its earlier abilities at higher levels?

Rathi Excavator seems unreasonably strong. Make him a 2/1?

Penal Mines' optimal play pattern seems kinda fiddly and annoying for relatively little effect. Not sure it's as bad as e.g. the old lands with the counters were, but fiddliness is Very Bad.

Expel Evil seems outrageously strong

tired now, will probably do more later

it works like mutate

oh shit, this card might not actually work then. and yeah, it loses its earlier abilities if i understand level up properly
Ashenai wrote:Rathi Excavator seems unreasonably strong. Make him a 2/1?
he's normally a 2 mana 3/2. doesn't seem that good? i could remove vigilance

3RW: Make a Treasure, switch the exiled creature at sorcery speed doesn't seem too fidly? and i don't remember drk complaining about fiddlyness wrt to it. i could up the mana cost on the activated ability
Ashenai wrote:Expel Evil seems outrageously strong
there's like ten things in the cube that activate it. i could make it 3WW
