Leonin Scimitar

Artifact — Equipment

Equipped creature gets +1/+1.

Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

FormOverFunction I'm not sure I follow the idea that 100% of existing equipment effects are suitable for fortifications. Most equipments modify power and toughness, which does nothing for most lands. There's also over 1,000 creature auras and less than 100 land aurs, so even if the procession from enchantment to artifact happened for lands, the pool is still a lot smaller.

There are absolutely lots of things you could do to lands. But how many of those change the core concepts of what lands do? Lands are generally there to make mana. Creatures have a lot more range in what they can and should do. Changing that would be changing some of the core philosophies and assumptions of the game. It could happen, and a fortification-heavy set could be really good if done right. But it would have to be handled carefully, since there's just not a lot of range on what lands are expected or allowed to do at this point.

What would be a good draft worthy baseline effect for fortifications? Equipments have Honed Khopesh, Leonin Scimitar, and Short Sword. What would be an equivalent common effect for lands, and how much should it cost to be fair in all colors?

Alternatively, what would a non-draft product like a Commander deck look like? How do you interact with fortifications, and what would you do with them? Continuing the parallels with equipments, there are cards that search for equipments, give bonuses for using more equipments, and so on that get made for Commander decks. Would Fort Voltron be a viable play style? If so, what makes it different from regular Voltron?

I like the idea, but thinking if it would be possible to add few equipments, auras or other spells to pump your commander. Because you need to deal 16 commander damage and this means 3 attacks per player, but with pump spells attack count can be reduced to two. Adding 1 power would be enough, for example:

Lifecrafter's Bestiary would be a good trade for Leonin Scimitar . Also, I would remove a Forest and replace it with Cultivate or Kodama's Reach .

Several cats have replacements, but I know you have some on the way.

I've also recently started PDH. I would suggest changing the following for objectively-better versions

Cultist's Staff -> Vulshok Morningstar

Marauder's Axe - > Bonesplitter

other suggestions

Leonin Scimitar , Short Sword alternatives or you can add all 3 as they are just other Honed Khopesh

Skyblinder Staff If you have flying and cant be blocked by flying, you can only be blocked by Reach (which not many PDH players play)

Early-game swords are pretty much Leonin Scimitar, Honed Khopesh (I think), and Veteran's Sidearm.

Torgaar, Famine Incarnate is my next EDH deck. Maybe Brawl, but I don't pay enough attention to Standard. Definitely EDH.

After skimming the whole spoiler list, there really is a sense of the history of Dominaria throughout, both in mechanics (Howling Golem, Unwind) and flavor (Serra Angel, every single Saga). I wish there had been more about Sarpadia specifically, with one Homarid and a Thrull being the representatives, but maybe the Thallids and Saprolings count. I just want to know more about the pre-Fallen Empires cultures.

Also, Short Sword = Leonin Scimitar = Honed Khopesh. Everyone gets their basic sword.

Overall, I really like it. Good work, WotC.

So, Skyhunter Cub is adorable, but really doesn't help to push your tribal theme that much, and isn't so potent. She doesn't give you any combat tricks, and is only useful if equipped.

Leonin Scimitar is cheap, but is it the best card for the deck? This one is on you to decide. It is a fine card, I'm just wondering what you are thinking.

Brimaz, King of Oreskos is a solid cat creator card that could help. Another card to add might be Konda's Banner if you aren't skull clamping, it is quite the little tool. Stoneforge Masterwork is nice if you are planning to go wide at all.

Love you long time.
