the point would the same as it always has been to have an eternal format for people who can't afford legacy. I am not saying have wasteland and force of will. just some new cards and old reprints that would more decks in modern.
As most of you are aware WOTC is making a modern masters next year that will be all reprints from 8th to Alara Reborn. For me I think this is a good idea it should bring some prices down without breaking standard and also improve the meta of modern.
I was thinking about this the other day and how would you feel if in a year or so WOTC printed a modern masters 2 or something of the like that reprinted cards that and not in modern sets. i.e astral slide. to make more deck available and keep the format healthy without overloading standard. also they could make new never printed cards for the format if they wanted. I think it is a pretty good idea but I wanted to hear what other's have to say about it.
what happens? are both my creatures removed and he takes 5? is my stonehewer giant removed and he takes 5? none are removed and he takes 5? or does nothing happen (he takes 0 and both my creatures and still in play?
Merfolk will happen because they wanted merfolk
Also, mana drain will NEVER be reprinted. The reserved list will NEVER go away. Absolutes exist no matter what the jedi say.
Since when is mana drain on the reserved list? As far as I know mana drain and force of will and two pf the best cards that are not on the reserved list. Correct me if I am wrong.
Also, I'm still confused as to how copies work with X values.If there is an X value in my spell casting cost, say primordial hydra, can I copy him him with Riku of Two Souls, would he enter with the +1/+1 counters on him? Or a card like Genesis Wave?
The two big distinctions between those two would be I'm copying the spell for Genesis Wave, but I'm copying the creature for Primordial hydra, does that make a difference?
Also, would a token copy of something with undying, like Vorapede come back with the +1/+1 counters? Or does he hit the graveyard, and cease to exist because he's a token?
1. no, the copy will happen first.
2. a copy takes all the values of what it copied if its a spell. so an x spell that is copied will also copy the value for x. but riku dose not copy creature when there spells. so he would make a copy with 0 +1/+1's and it would die.
3. no, when a token gos to the gaveyard it is removed from the game.

The side has more then 15 cards in it because I am not sure what I should play in the bored. if anyone can give me some advice I would be grateful.

An opponent cast Ashes to Ashes targeting my Felidar Sovereign and stonehewer giant.
I tap the stonehewer giant to search for sword of light and shadow and equip it to Felidar Sovereign.
what happens? are both my creatures removed and he takes 5? is my stonehewer giant removed and he takes 5? none are removed and he takes 5? or does nothing happen (he takes 0 and both my creatures and still in play?
thanks.

my friend had teferi, mage of zhalfir and maelstrom wanderer, maelstrom wanderer was his general.
then someone else on there turn cast Turn to Mist on maelstrom wanderer and attacked.
my question is, can my friend have his maelstrom wanderer go to the commander zone so he can cast it and block with it?

it is really close trade.
but it really comes down to what you will use more.
I would probably do it myself
1. no, the copy will happen first.
2. a copy takes all the values of what it copied if its a spell. so an x spell that is copied will also copy the value for x. but riku dose not copy creature when there spells. so he would make a copy with 0 +1/+1's and it would die.
3. no, when a token gos to the gaveyard it is removed from the game.
hope this helps
