Arena has easy access to uh... pseudo shuffle? effects like Brainstorming and then activating Azcanta or Narset to get rid of bad cards.

There is also Field but that comes with probably a bigger deckbuilding restriction than Wilds.

Can't wait for Terramorphic Expanse to make it so we have 8 pseudo-fetches in arena.

You can complain about M25 as being a way to get more JtMS out there before they unbanned it but Iconic Masters was a fun format and like a dozen cards would be so loving expensive without it right now. Imagine Mishra's Bauble being most expensive that FoW.

Do people just use wrenn and six *instead* of Bob now? I dont see Bob showing up on Jund lists, yet he’s still up to $75. Or are people running both... or is he key in another deck? I haven’t been playing Modern for about a year

Price memory, not having a reprint in several years, still played as 3-4-of in a top Legacy deck.

Speaking of MTG Finance, now is not the best time to lose a Sword of Fire and Ice.

:eng99:

I've check every deck box and EDH deck it could have been in, still missing. I guess Batterskull and Feast and Famine are what's happening tonight.

I'll bring Jeskai Stoneblade and Goblins and probably play Goblins anyway

Some of it definitely has to do with path to exile and fatal push being the two main removal spells in modern

Looking at what they published in the 5-0s there was more Batterskull and fire and ice. You have the removal lottery with war and peace, sinew and steel, and light and shadow. There isn't a dominant enough color in modern to get it right every time, especially when there are many colorless decks as well.

If she's in this set, it'll be because she wants to be and because they showed her the money she deserves. I'd love for them to give her a real showcase card like they do Seb. There's no way, though.

Hmm, let me check this here...wow there are some drawings of people with three dicks on this, also Rebecca Guay is pretty jacked

I really don't get all the hoping and praying over Guay when we know full well she's never gonna do magic art again.

Unless WotC pays out the rear end and Guay is feeling like it. And I sincerely doubt that's in Hasbro's forecast.

Compromise: reprint cards that have used Guay art in the past so I can use them in standard.

Scryb Ranger & Spellstutter Sprite fit on theme and can be in Simic Flash.
