Someone on FB posted about how MTGO has a bug to allow Soul of the Harvest in Standard decks.
He found out when he played vs a WotC employee (WotC_Coverage)... Who had it in their deck. And played it. :allears:

It's not a bug, it was in the 2016 Welcome Deck and is thus legal in Standard.

FYI Wotc_Coverage aren't employee accounts necessarily, they're coverage accounts given out to the main, well, coverage people so they can be informed for when they do coverage- Gaby Spartz has one.

What is $1 burrito, I'm not familiar with this pauper deck.

It's the name I've given the Pauper 1-land spy, in honor of Breakfast Burrito. Ritual effects, mana dorks that sac themselves, mill yourself with Balustrade Spy, Haunting Misery for the win. Ironically one of the more expensive Pauper decks now due to Lotus Petal and Simian Spirit Guides.

The reason I say "without SBs" is that both this deck and Tortured Existence fold hard to graveyard hate. TE is also vulnerable to enchantment destruction.

TE is a fun, value grind deck if you're dicking with friends without 2-of-3 play. Strong, but not impossible to conventionally beat. $1 Burrito is fun for a gotcha gimmick but is honestly unfair and way too inconsistent to be played regularly.

Why does it have the singleton forest if the plan is to get the forest out of the deck before milling yourself? I think I'm missing something.

There's really no better free mana sources in Pauper, so they have to run one that messes up the whole plan of the deck if you don't draw it as one of your mana sources? yikes.

Without any cascade spells, I think it was a safe unban. Funny enough, the deck probably getting the best use out of it is Mono-U Turns. None of the recent unbans have had a major effect.

It is. I still play it because it's janky fun and because you can flash it back with Goblin Dank-Memers which is like, a 19-for-1 or something.

I've been saying for 2 years that unbanning the slowest card in the world wouldn't do anything in modern. Next up: Jace unban so I can be proven right about him too. Also so I can sell my foil for $2k.

Another card that would do nothing because it's glacially slow and leaves you super open to removal and discard. Stoneforge at least has the upside of making burn waste a spell to kill her so you don't get a turn 3 Batterskull (which would probably be too slow anyway) but it doesn't do a whole lot else against any other deck in the format without Jitte.

And you're still high for wanting Jitte unbanned.

I didn't even realize that was a deck until a couple weeks ago. In the six or seven games I played against it the deck only got past turn 4 once, seems not great unless I got lucky?

I would think that a Stoneforge unban, if anything, would make Wizards more gunshy about printing good equipment.

I'm very fond of my Esper Mill list for Modern, I used to think it was lovely but I keep taking it to events and coming away with prize payouts so maybe it's actually good? I also like my Captain Sisay EDH deck for being the first deck I ever designed and built completely from scratch, but I haven't played EDH in almost a year so :shrug:
