I, too, hate unique cards.

At least, that's the level you have to be at to get mad at Ken Nagle for what we've seen of SoI.

I've been trying to think of useful things to do with clues in Modern other than Arcbound Ravager, and I can't come up with any. Atog?

Krark-Clan Ironworks?

e: Getting into real janky poo poo, Hellkite Tyrant? Salvage Titan? Time Sieve?

e: Honestly, the problem is not what to do with Clues, but that most Clue-generating cards are terrible on their own.

Honestly I was down on it at first but it's about as good an Anthem effect as standard has gotten for a long, long while.

God drat does that non-token effect sting though, I mean, what is even the point?

This is the most correct post in the history of this thread.

Edit: Also new Goyf and Confidant are better, both new Meddling Mages are much worse, and who cares which Dark Ritual are you play?

And the hottest take: VMA Brainstorm is the best Brainstorm. Hopefully they print it in EMA.

Sleep of Bronze: Feb 9, 2013; If I could only somewhere find Aias, master of the warcry, then we could go forth and again ignite our battle-lust, even in the face of the gods themselves.

If for some lunatic reason they'd decided to reprint Intangible Virtue in this Standard, it might have broken our long streak of 0 Standard bans.

Also old Goyf's art is indefensible.

Dunno if I'd say it's best (I'm entirely too partial to the Masques art), but it's better than Fifth/Ice Age's. :colbert:

A literal brain during a literal storm. It's as if an infant art-directed the VMA version. Ice Age and Conspiracy's are both fine, and obviously DiTerlizzi art is the best of everything ever.
