    I prefer the old border but that's mostly due to nostalgia, as I started playing only shortly before it changed so it represents my very first forays into the game. I also prefer how old border foils look, having the foiling all around the edge makes it stand out a lot more. The old cards look...

    Never mind we'll find some card like it I like Cabal Therapy a lot.

    It's weird in that the mechanics sounds a bit uninspired (Flashback but you discard! Scry but it goes to the graveyard! Convoke but it...it's convoke!) but those are all good mechanics anyway so it looks like they'll all play well.

    I think Jump-Start is Retrace but with any card, and the card is exiled instead of discarded. Actually on second reading I don't know whether the card from your hand or the card you're jump-starting is exiled. So it's either Retrace or Flashback but you have to discard a card. Neither sounds...

    How do you put all this together? Are the two cards in the same sleeve? It sounds like an interesting thing to explore.

    Dude, if you want people to help with your weirdly specific request, it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more polite. Why do you need to know which one is newer?

    Eh, I think Battlebond demonstrates they're willing to reprint the casual staples even if that's not the case for Modern and Legacy cards. Doubling Season, Land Tax, Seedborn Muse, Mycosynth Lattice and a few others that were creeping up.

    Anyone tried Sai, Master Thopterist How much of an artifact density do you need before he's good. Is getting an average of 2 triggers enough? Edit: Similar question for Scrap Trawler

    I wouldn't be too surprised to see Overload come back on the basis that Cyclonic Rift desperately needs a reprint for commander - it's the second most played card in the format after Sol Ring and it's up to 20 bucks, and it wasn't in any of the 2018 commander decks. There'll probably be a...

    I've played Chandra, Firebrand before but she eventually got cut for being a bit underpowered.

    General Single Card Archetypes

    Perhaps "build-arounds" is a better term than "single card archetypes", but at that point it's just semantics really. I think we're all on the same page here.

    I haven't run it yet but I think it'll be in for my next draft: Hardened Scales Although it kind of goes with Abzan Falconer and Reyhan, Last of the Abzan so maybe it's not strictly a single card archetype.

    You could use a Vanguard, just looking quickly Barrin gives +6 life and doesn't affect hand size. Just agree not to use the avatar power.

    Delver also suffers from the much higher land counts you tend to have in limited. If you look at RUG Delver in legacy, it plays 18-19 lands in a 60 card deck; if you're playing 17 in your 40 card deck that's about a 10% increase. You'd need to run a 12-13 land deck to get the same ratio, which...

    1W 2/2 Lifelink is alright in an aggressive deck and it has some pretty good upside in the late game. Think about using it to rebuy Lightning Bolt in RW aggro. It's also much better than usual in the aggro mirror.
