They should have gone for Elspeth, that would been a very dramatic arc.
So, we got vorinclex last year, and Jin this one, so we might go to new phyrexia or a invasion by them next year? there are only 3 praetors who are independent right?
I continue to be impressed by all these old frame cards. WOTC tried to push back on them for so long and now they're putting them out by the bucket load.
We millenials are turning 40, they can sell us back nostalgia now
Speaking of prices, another announcement that got buried is that WotC will allow sanctioned events from may 28, so prices of cards are going to spike in the next weeks.
The thing that stood out for me is the 4 exclusive secret lairs for members, that would make the FOMO big for many people.
I don't live in the US, and I have bought 2 secret lairs so far, one the first one I got help from a friend who brought me the goods from the US, the second I got was secretversary, I spent 100 on shipping of two non foil bundles. I am not a store but my intention was to sell 5 drops and keep 3 that I really wanted and come out without loosing money. I sold 5 and covered all my expenses, the 3 I kept were basically free. So now I am considering to dedicate my self to importing secret lairs to my country and make some bucks so maybe this subscription offers something interesting, but it will depend a lot on the secret lairs, so far I think I have good "eye" to choose the most desirable ones, but if they flood the market it is going to be more difficult.
The ability is good and if there is deck that casts instants and sorceries while playing creatures and the colorless mana doesn't affect them much it could se play since the ability is free.
"Mystical Archive cards will be legal in Historic (but not Standard), though seven will not join the format due to power-level concerns—this includes Swords to Plowshares and Demonic Tutor. While we've let the folks previewing cards know whether it will be legal in Historic (and they can share that as part of previewing the card), it's easy to miss those notes in all the excitement."
So far not legal:
Channel
Counterspell
Dark Ritual
Demonic Tutor
Lightning Bolt
Swords to Plowshares
