Yeah pretty much this. I know it's kinda format warping, but Lightning Bolt!

I don't know how many of you played Ala-Zen standard but lightning bolt was a direct contributor to making that format worse. The thing is, even though it was a 1-cmc spell, it was an effect people were happy paying 2CMC for, making it great value off of BBE, but it also made every 3-or-less toughness creature that didn't have an ETB or Dies effect significantly worse and a significant tempo loss since like, a turn 3 2-drop + bolt put you so far ahead.

It kept Jace in check though, which was great. It would have been really nice to have in M13 to act as a counterbalance to Thragtusk.

I don't see how a mistake like Thragtusk would be benefited by adding another mistake onto it. Lightning Bolt's in Modern, there's no need to ever see its ugly mug again.

Don't make it unnecessarily complicated, this Swords to Timeshares is beautiful. It's not strictly better or worse than Path to Exile.

If a store is not listed in the WotC store locator when I search for FNMs but the store lists on their calendar that they're running FNMs every Friday should I err on the side of assuming that the store is just running an unsanctioned tournament but calling it FNM?

The owner of a (seemingly failing) little store in the area told me Wizards doesn't like it when events show up on the calendar and then don't fire.
The store you're talking about might be trying to run Friday Night Magic and reverting to playing magic, on friday nights, when they're short on people.

Swords to Timeshares is incredible. And that Uncharted realms was a REALLY good read. Kruphix seems so chill compared to Heliod and Erebos being the biggest dicks in the multiverse.

What I'm saying is we need more Kruphix.

also besides this being the best derail in this thread ever, how do I buy vintage masters boosters? Or how can I play to get them? Literally haven't read a thing about the set, so I'm looking forward to limited if it is anything like Modern Masters.
