krinstranger asked: Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited for Kaladesh, but I just have to say it: Energy is the most parasitic mechanic since Arcane.

That’s simply not true. Energy cards in a vacuum are just artifacts/creatures with charge counters that allow a limited number of uses (a la something like Serrated Arrows).

Yes, there’s extra synergy if you play multiple, but they don’t require it. One Splice onto Arcane spell, in contrast, literally won’t work.
