Black summer was the best summer.

I don't like this type of design. Embarrassing.

If they are intro deck cards.... eh its okay i guess.

If Caller of the Prides Ajani was in standard I could see that being very good. 3/3 flying trampling doublestriker seems very good on turn 3.

Since it works with the good Ajani cards yeah.

So all of these are standard legal? Because Tranquil Expanse might be playable if GW decks need enough sources.

They are standard legal, but they try not to make them actually playable because otherwise the intro decks get impossible to find. Flame Lash is fringe-playable though, so they do show up occasionally.

That being said, Tranquil Expanse is a reprint and is already standard-legal. The cycle only becomes asymmetric after rotation.

Not only should have just printed Atog, they should have printed Atog with Antiquities artwork.

I can understand WOTC not wanting hosers in standard. "Did I draw my hoser? Great I win, if not I lose" isn't fun gameplay and it's why modern isn't fun.

There's a gap between Chill and Steel Sabotage, and I'd rather Wizards err on the side of printing Chill rather than printing no way to counteract the opponent's gameplan.

After all, RTR, the set that had Ash Zealot, Rest in Peace, and Deathrite Shaman, still had fostered T1 reanimator deck.

I don't think it's even playable in limited. This is lower impact than even the low impact artifact bodies in this set.
