With the printing of Deep Forest Hermit in Modern Horizons I can't help but compare it to Deranged Hermit which is currently part of the Reserved List. It does seem to break some of the rules of the RL which is stated below:
- Reserved cards are cards that will never be printed again in a functionally identical form.
- A card is considered functionally identical to another card if it has the same card type, subtypes, abilities, mana cost, power, and toughness.
I will point to the second one as the rule which it may come into conflict with the most. This may or may not matter now but if this continues we could see this as a prelude to reprint similar functional copies of important artifacts, lands and others which are part of the RL in the near future.
This is just one of the reasons why I don't like the RL at all and wish they would finally remove it to make old formats more accessible to players of this game via reprints.
Would like to know other peoples thoughts on this.
