But what about my Future Sight vanilla 3/1?

so when everybody talks about how you should only ever play this card as a 2-of, how real is that? are there any wildfire singleton defenders left to weight in on the other side of this debate.

I think it comes down to how dependent your gameplan is on getting it off. If Wildfire is a Plan B for an otherwise decent deck then you only need one, but if it's your primary win-con then you definitely need two. I had a U/R Vivi Wildfire deck my last cube draft that could have a solid gameplan otherwise, but the Wildfires definitely closed things out any time I was able to fire one off with Vivi on the board. Especially when I doubled up on them and just killed every single land and other creature, was pretty sick.

Ah, I totally missed that it was a reprint. It's weird flavor for MOM, too, the set where every plane is at war with the baddies.

There were actually quite a few cards that showed the "warning signs" of the incoming invasion before the "main event":



It's the same issue Streets of New Capenna ran into, where they shoved an old-school "there are big setting changes partway through" block story (Innistrad block, Zendikar block, Tarkir block, gestures vaguely at Lorwyn/Shadowmoor) into a single set, and so you get some thematic weirdness, like how New Capenna is supposed to not have angels but the set has angels because part of it is set after the angels unpetrify.
