legendary cards mtg rules Does the legend rule apply here? : r/mtg Legendary rule and Odric :

Ingot Chewer and Mulldrifter can be cast cheaper when evoked, and then instead of paying the full whack, you can just make Offspring to keep one and get an extra EtB for value

Callaphe doesnt face that sort of divine oceanic enmity, which seems to free her up for more adventures and more trickery

As such the only time I have seen the -1 used is when you are digging for a specific card / answer or you have just made her onto a board she has no hope of surviving

The Hakbal EDH precon introduced some pretty powerful ones, like Ripples of Potential and Wave Goodbye, but there are also counter aplifiers like Hardened Scales you should consider

Its definitely a hard task, but it can be plenty rewarding
