I think so, with one reprint legend to round out each deck's eligible commanders, if I remember the black deck correctly.

You know fully well that Wizard's would not reprint something so outside those established color pies such as probably some of the best art on a card I didn't know about until just now.

No seriously I would run Mind Bomb because it looks sick.

What was the context, was he dead on board?

Because if so, then obviously you go all-in.

This is a few days old but I felt compelled to respond. It was turn 2, opponent with one land in play, storm player had just seen his opponent's hand with no Force of Will but 2 Dazes, figured it was never going to get any easier to go off once he had both Dazes active, so he goes ahead and drops 3 LEDs, fires off a Brainstorm completely in the dark and cracks his 3 LED's in response, looking for any of Burning Wish/Infernal Tutor/more cantrips to have a shot. Hits like a Ponder I believe, eventually gets a Gitaxian Probe, another Brainstorm, finds Burning Wish, grabs Tendrils, game over (with exactly 1 mana to spare for the Daze his opponent could have cast).

Friendly reminder that Mindslaver is the best worst way to die.

Opponent 1 card in hand, scooze, Courser, and 2 Goyfs on board. I've got two Wurmcoils.

Draw into Treasure Mage, finding Mindslaver, play and sacrifice it.

Last card is Lightning Bolt, kills Treasure Mage with it.

During his turn he draws another Bolt, kill his scooze with it, force him to swing out, block both Goyfs, which are 5/6s, with Wurmcoils. Opponent concedes, sends lovely message I should've saved. Mostly involving me using a bullshit wincon and I should be ashamed for playing Blue Tron.

Blue Tron owns but last time I got the lock on board my opponent conceded (he was a turn away from me killing him with Wurmcoil anyway) :(
I also won my most recent EDH game with a Mindslaver lock, it ruled.

I don't have any Mindslaver, so instead of going for taking my opponents turns, I just take all the turns I like instead. I routinely win with my Marchesa deck by going off with Time Sieve and Modular guys.

Blows up artifacts, enchantments, and nonbasics, and only replaces nonbasics. I don't see it being better than Serenity or Purify, except the ability to get indestructible permanents, since most decks are going to have basics to replace their nonbasics.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mardu Midrange sucks on the online meta. It's fine vs aggro and abzan but rolls over like a champ to constellation and is not good vs. Jeskai, and it doesn't get to prey on Ascendancy since no one runs that online.

Kinda. There are plenty of Common and Uncommon non-basic Lands though. Also it doesn't make players reveal hands and discard stuff.

As someone that runs a five color deck with 39 lands in it, four of which are basics, I find this card offensive (not really). I'm considering just replacing the basics with fetches at this point because ghost quarter is already wasteland against me most of the time.

However I will enjoy getting to call all the group hug nonsense players on their bullshit when they cast this.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I think this card is fine (internet sarcasm is hard). I was making a jab at the people (a few of whom I have the misfortune to play with) who will find it unfair. I'm fully aware that my deck has this weakness and I'm totally ok with it. As to the bullshit part, I'm absolutely convinced that one of the offending players will cast this and maintain it is totally fair but armageddon is literally Hitler :godwin:

Also yeah, it's a 7 cmc sorcery. I'm pretty sure I'll be just fine.

Some of the people I play with are already upset at things like Uril voltron, turning my Scion deck into hermit druid/worldgorger combo would probably make them explode. I've been considering it for a while now.

I think the better analogy is going in the ice cream aisle to look for milk, at least, if you're looking for hidden legacy playables.

I just want to see the pushed card and see if they've pushed it as hard as TNN this time :argh:
