If it wasn't that one, then I dunno, but there was HELLA uproar over the playmat I described, designed for a Grand Prix, somewhere in the eastern half of the US. It was pulled before distribution after pictures of it were published online and a couple folks were like :pervert: and everyone else who saw it were like :stonk:. I am not about to try finding pictures of this playmat at work.

Oh, well, I should be fine then. No one who's as terrible at EDH as Sheldon is should be given any platform to commentate on Magic.

Sheldon Menery of "Sylvan Primordial and Prophet of Kruphix are definitely too powerful but cards like Necropotence, Sol Ring, Yawgmoth's Will, and Mana Crypt are totally fine" fame?!

Prophet is way more degenerate in a format where playing it basically means you get 4 turns every turn.

Agreed. You don't see random black decks just running Anglers against their normal gameplan, just because two of them can blind flip and win.

So I was flipping through my Standard binders putting cards back in preparation for the new set's brewing and I noticed and then remembered this little guy.



Think this might be something that could put a flash/flying deck over the top in UWx? Hell, maybe even UW? It's the closest we'll get to a spirit lord for now, I think.

Yeah, a 2/3 flash Flyer Lord is pretty solid. It'd be way better as a 3 drop but even at 4 mana that's probably still standard playable.

It doesn't trigger on some of the other Spirits Matter cards like Nebelgast Herald, but I don't know that there's anything that does the job better.

I can't tell if we're being ironic or not but I'd be alright with an Angler ban to shakeup the format.
