M11 gives Lightning Bolt as well! Here's an article that features the original list: https://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/bd321

You can recreate most of the Speculation Storm deck from Extended a few years back. The idea is to Quiet Speculation for Lava Darts, then go Swath -> flashback Darts -> Grapeshot; you can also Speculation for Deep Analysis against discard/control, and Innistrad gives you Past in Flames (!)...

I'm sure if I went to MTGS right now, I'd find the forum oracles earnestly deconstructing this card's stats and claiming authoritatively that it's the 5th best white 3-drop and therefore shouldn't be played at 450, or whatever it is they do over there.

a playable card!!

or Standard /shotsfired

Gatecrash was a poor set for most cards but had a few cards with creative/niche applications that made themselves known over time, this set is just wholly unimpressive so far.

Worst set for Cube/Constructed in a long time?

Red and green each have a ton of good 5s though :(

'exponentially' was meant to have a strike through it to mock all the people who use that term inaccurately. now they'll think I'm one of them! and holy shit my prose is clumsy I could record videos I guess but I don't know how atm; I can figure it out?

Rage Forger is a really sweet card. (nobody mention you-know-who)

Is Firemane Angel a consideration if you have a lot of graveyard stockers?

Lorescare Coatl is better in powered Cubes where you can go T3 Coatl + Gush or T3 Coatl T4 Timetwister

Ashling the Pilgrim Gluttonous Slime Hunting Moa Lorescale Coatl Nantuko Cultivator Nivmagus Elemental Phantom Centaur Rage Forger Scavenging Ooze Strangleroot Geist Storm Entity Thrummingbird Otherworldly Journey Volt Charge

cut Volcanic Hammer, run Fire Ambush

Was it tapped? If not, you could have sacrificed it targeting itself.

It may not affect gameplay by itself but, considering the rarity distribution determines the sort of cards we can get, wasting red mythic slots on crap like this (when the commons certainly won't be any better...) won't do anything to boost red's quality as a colour.

But then the masses wouldn't get to crow about how good it is in EDH!

I think it's hilarious that this block is providing more playable U/G cards than Gatecrash/DGM did.

If you think manabases are bad in Standard atm, think back to SOM-ISD Standard where allied colours had buddy lands + fastlands (passable most of the time, still not great; even in UW Delver with Ponder/Probe/Thought Scour, hitting your secondary colour was difficult sometimes) and enemy colours...

It's clearly a sweet card, but suffers from the same problems as any other card like that i.e. if you took a Cube designed to support him and rigged your Sealed pool, he still wouldn't be reliably good.
