I'm surprised no one has said "fetches in Conspiracy!!1!" yet.
They aren't the most exciting Limited Rares,
but WotC are always looking for ways to sell casual products to non-casual players.
If you're hoping to build a cheaper deck,
you better get your copies of Karn Liberated now if you haven't already.
Ditto Wurmcoil Engine and Eldrazi.
I already have tron built, so that's not a problem
Since we have all convinced ourselves that fetches are coming soon, in one way shape or form, what would you do if 2 years from now, we still don't have reprints of the fetches?
I plan to cry and be butthurt mostly. I plan to look at my UWR Modern deck that has everything it needs besides for fetches, and then yell at it for not being good enough.
Tactical Operations
Instant RW
Until end of turn, creatures you control get +1/+1 for each attacking creature, and creatures your opponents control get -1/-1 for each blocking creature.
I think I prefer Zealous Persecution because you don't need combat, but this can get really wild. Just block with a few dudes and you can wrath their field
Red and white don't usually use -1/-1, so it should probably say "deals 1 damage to each creature your opponent's control for each blocking creature"
Patience - You may not draft this card unless this is the second time you've seen this pack.
I don't think that is enforceable. How can you prove you didn't just take the card out of the first pack you opened? Unless every other player remembers passing it, but by then its too late
How do you feel about this land cycle:
Big Blue
Land
Enters tapped T: Add U T, return Big Blue to your hand: add UU
Your entire point is that you can get duals or basics. That's not true in Standard where you can only get basics. When you can only get basics they are terrible fixing.

May I direct you over to any standard format that included zendikar or onslaught. Fetches did see play, and plenty of it
Keeper of the Forgotten - 1BU
Creature - Human Cleric
Haste T:Exile a non-land card from a graveyard with a number of time counters on it equal to it's converted mana cost. You control that card. It gains suspend.
1/3
My attempt at making mill more strategic. Combine with someone playing Path to Exile for true hilarity.
Why not red/blue? Those were the two colors dealing most with time counters in time spiral
Fetchlands in Standard at the same time as DRS and Shocklands. Yes, that's a great idea. And let's not forget that that same format has Thoughtseize, Pain Seer, and Abrupt Decay. That is dangerously close to Modern BGx.
It would be a dream come true. Hey we need something to combat devotion right?
No, no it wouldn't. As someone who's first experience of MTG was Mirrodin era standard, Skullclamp needs to not only remain banned, but for WotC to hire Ninjas to physically destroy every single printed card.
Golgari Grave-Troll cannot safely be unbanned and here is why- as already stated earlier in the thread ot will probably do nothing in modern and wizards knows this fact, but there is a chance that it will break with some unseen interaction. It is not a good enough card on its own right to be worth running in "fair" decks, but it's abilities are powerful enough in conjunction with other interactions that it could create a degenerate, and hard to interact with powerhouse that warps the format.
Deathrite Shaman should be banned if bbe is unbanned, I think this is the best approach should he be banned, but wizards could just give him the axe on the principle of its shear power allone. It fits in literally every BGX deck. This card is a combination of Birds of Paradise, Grim Lavamancer, and Scavenging Ooze. Decks that could include any one of these three creatures could almost as easily run Deathrite Shaman, in witch case that makes this tho most powerful common card amung all BGX decks, witch could merrit it the ban.
Deathrite Shaman cannot be compared with Lavamancer because he cannot destroy creatures with his ability, which is a huge upside Lavamancer has.
There is no unseen interaction with Grave-Troll. We all know what it does, its the highest dredge card that exists. If you want to dump your deck into your graveyard, you use Grave-Troll.
The only deck that it would slot into is Dredge-a-Vine, which sees hardly any play now that Scavenging ooze and deathrite are both in the format.
Creature - Devil
When Beast of Discord enters the battlefield, discard a card.
3/3
Mini avatar of discord, but I didn't think the avatar was very good
I already have tron built, so that's not a problem
I'll probably play Tron
Maaaaaaaaaaybe something like this
RR
Sorcery
Destroy target nonbasic land
I don't even think wizards would print that
Seems fair to me, what could go wrong

Even in EDH? What's wrong with it there?
I would love to see a playable redirect spell. Most have been completely unplayable except for in EDH
Great design
