Ghostform

Proliferate Interaction

I've been testing a proliferate deck on Arena and realized that Ghostform counters from Kaya the Inexorable don't work the way I thought. I now understand that they are more for reminders (kinda like monstrous and +1/+1 counters).I get that you don't want to have every type of counter needing to be defined, I guess I just wish it was different.

Some counters are more about being a marker that an event has occurred more than granting an ability. Proliferating those will seldom “do anything”.

View on Exile Returns

You don't like cards returning things from exile they didn't put there as it turns exile just into a second graveyard. But you've stated you're okay with cards like Squee the Immortal and Misthollow Griffin that can bring themselves back from exile. Where do you fall on effects like the Buy a Box Athreos or Kaya's Ghostform? Does the immediacy of the return make it okay?

For all intents and purposes, it’s sending the card somewhere else instead of to exile, and I’m fine with that.

Shift from Animate Dead

Why did WotC move away from Animate Dead effects? I think they're the fairest way to reanimate a creature. It almost seems you're taking a step back toward them with Journey to Eternity and Kaya's Ghostform effects.

They’re not very templating friendly.
