And looking forwards, have you seen anything you like in Shards of Alara?
I’ve seen something I don’t like, and that’s my brother Antoine’s Invitational card. It hasn’t been spoiled yet so I can’t tell you about it, but it’s going to be used with a card from Eventide and it’s just... *Olivier makes a face* ...it doesn’t feel like an Invitational card, it’s not a Meddling Mage or an Avalanche Riders. It would be a shame if it turns out to be the last Invitational card – the Invitational was a great event and I hope it comes back next year.
I don't think they are holding them back, just that right now they don't have anything specific to do with them. They printed them up for states, but all but UK got cancelled so they have a boatload of them lying around. Probably starting to unload them to the dealers(premium?) for their small tournaments and conventions.

Maybe if you added "This mana may only be used to play elemental spells"
The library peeker is ok, too bad you can't ship the cards to the bottom.
Token maker might see play. The eulogist is pretty narrow. Unplayable outside of an elf deck.
