Elvish Spirit Guide to cast it? (sorry)

Well, it does hit lands, and if there is nothing but lands at the top, you can still get the best land (like a fetch).

The only time a deck with this should fail to hit is if you play Oath T1 and get your other three Oaths.

Also, with the new mulligan rule, if Oath and an untapped green land are in your opener, you can scry away a miss or know what you'll get with it.

Yesterday I drafted it for the first time, and my opponent played two Crossbow Infantry, an Aven Flock, and a Razorfoot Griffin vs my Air Elemental, two Angelic Pages, and a couple of 2/2 fliers. Every turn I just stared at the board and faced the dawning realization that I would never be able to attack or block for the rest of the game, and then he killed me with a 2/2 fear.

Tap creatures that do annoying things in combat are probably the worst part of older Limited formats.

I mean, non-mythics from BFZ haven't gone above maybe $5, but that might be because the only cards people actually want from BFZ are the mythics and lands.

I mean Shambling Vent is still sub $5 in spite of being a ~3 of in 45% of standard decks and the second most played manland in modern.

e: Painful Truths would be another example of a heavily played standard card with decent eternal prospects. The expedition effect seems pretty real.

So what you're telling me is that Wizards can easily bring down the price of standard by putting dumb "secret rare" esque cards in every set.

Couldn't that cause some problems in terms of tournament playability? Not that regular foils don't already have their own problems.
