Apparently if you play Plunge into Darkness' second mode on MTGO it doesn't let you confirm when you stop wanting to pay life, forcing you to pay life until you lose. It's been this way for at least a year too.

There were multiple bugs that were in the game and publicly known prior to the the Standard Throwback going online:

  • Buyback costs were not reduced through effects like Sapphire Medallion
  • Natural Balance did nothing.
  • Undiscovered Paradise had no drawback.

Those are the ones that got fixed after the Throwback was put up and taken down a couple hours later since several of the decks didn't function. There are still plenty of bugs that have been in the game for more than a year and aren't going to be fixed because WotC isn't embarassed enough at their poo poo product. That Plunge bug is dumb but Plunge is a really fringe playable. loving Reanimate doesn't function correctly - if there's a Containment Priest in play and Reanimate resolves, the creature gets exiled but the Reanimate player doesn't lose life. Reanimate is not a fringe playable. Containment Priest is not a friend playable. poo poo I don't even know if Spinning Darkness works yet and that's the only card that can make MBC good in Pauper.

MTGO is bad. WotC does not see a problem with cards being nonfunctional forever.

Seems medium, but I am also probably underestimating the cycle. As long as there are some limited option in white or green then thing should feel more balanced.

I think it's really good for the limited format, where at worst it replaces itself cheaply, and at best badly disrupts their late game by taking their embalm guys and Aftermaths. In standard it can grab some Scroungers or disables delirium. Since it's instant a 4/4 Flayer can become a 2/2 when it's blocked by a 2+/x, or a traverse suddenly only fetches a basic instead of any land or a creature.

Could this also boost black Eldrazi back into relevance? Exile your pick of their yard to power Strangler.

It's kinda like a Hellrider, except legendary, doesn't have its own reasonable body attached to it, and also it doesn't work if your attacking creature gets blocked and dies. So not much like Hellrider at all, really.

While it might be a reasonable card in an aggro deck, it's also a card that you really really really don't want to draw more than one copy of.

I was thinking the same thing, I'm going to proxy it and test it this weekend when I play modern with my friends. It looks great in Elves, and when I chord of calling all of the creatures being tapped will pay off as a burn.

This is pretty irrelevant in most cases, but can you tap extra cards to power an improvise spell or to crew a vehicle?

You should be able to tap all your creatures if you have a vehicle in play...

You can only improvise up to the spell's generic cost, but you can over-crew a vehicle, or crew it multiple times.
