Its not getting banned. Probe did not get banned because of the suicide deck. It got banned because of infect. There are so many other cards that are going to get banned before street wraith.

Avatar bet it's banned within a year?

assuming the death's shadow decks are oppressive, they really need to ban the namesake card and not banning another "life as a resource" card each time and hoping the problem finally gets solved

alternatively they could ban fetchlands :twisted:

so infect not being a tier-one deck anymore is simply because they have to pay 1 extra mana for become immense?

The metagame is very unfriendly to Infect right now. It's not just Probe.

Why is rags to riches even rare? Overcosted top effect and you don't even choose which creature you're stealing for 7 mana?

Cut to ribbons is cool though.

Cut is good entirely on its own terms and Ribbons is a dandy bonus.

Injury should've been both halves imo.

Within a year, if there's nothing that disrupts the deck in the meantime, that's certainly possible. It'd be a shame if it outright killed the deck, though.

That's something they specifically don't want. Emblems are game objects because it makes the effect easier to remember, not because they want them to be potentially interactable. It's why Knight-Errant was changed.

I get that, although I think it's lame and limiting in terms of both flavor and design space.

By the way this works with no mana cost cards (Living End, Restore Balance) and lets you cast them immediately as soon as the enchantment hits the table.

Also it lets you cast 1 free spell on your turn and 1 free instant on your opponent's turn.

I'm gonna say this isn't nearly as good as it sounds... It's very slow. I don't think you're gonna be able to use this to cast spells you couldn't already cast with the mana you already have very often. The game would have to go VERY long. You can't cast a 2 drop off of it until T6....

Oh poo poo, I didn't even notice the or less.

You are going to need a lot of card draw to really get a lot from this, but its in blue so that shouldn't be difficult.
