Quote from OathboundOne »Keep in mind that Power is not synonymous with Strength. I mean, many of the most powerful people in the world are frail old men/women. Elesh Norn leads what has become the most powerful faction of New Phyrexia (and through them, New Phyrexia as a whole), but that doesn't necessarily mean that she's the strongest Praetor.Quote from HighHolder »Right, thank you. She still seems sort of weak when she's supposed to be the most powerful one.
I think he just meant that they should've just give Norn a more generic -and so, more powerful ability- and he wasn't referring to the P/T stats. Elesh should've had either a low and aggressive mana value with an ability always affecting the game all time (like the new Sheoldred) or a massive mana cost with an epic ability that also will matter all the time (like the 10 mana Gitaxias). What we see is just a niche, mediocre effect that needs a specific deckbuilding to make it matter and that will just occasionally hose some decks. So Elesh is weak even if we consider your parameters.

ROFL, you just named over half a bunch of cards that will NEVER be played in Modern. Clearly you aren't the voice of the people...

Just an individual. I guess if you say so. I work hard for the money. But also, it's not like I threw 3 grand away...I now have 4k+ worth of UMA cards tbh. Was a good investment.
Nice! Yeah, your pulls were really good. It's funny how all my "bad mythics" were just Balefire Dragon. I would have given anything for it to be a mix of Lord of Extinction, or Sigarda, or Platinum...

Wait, what? When did you read that Ixalan had unused Masterpieces? I always said it should have had them in the set... This makes me sad
Is there a confirmed list/art gallery of other unused cards for it?

Exactly...everything has been downhill. It makes ZERO sense to "overpower" "sooome" creatures and cards, but not others. Maybe if everything was on the same power level, it would make for a more diverse and interesting format, that MIGHT actually bring in more players back to the game!
