Vampiric also grabs a one-of Pithing Needle, or can tutor for a creature when Reanimator has Careful Study + Reanimation effect in-hand, or even grabs a land when Reanimator opens with a one-lander...

The format is incredibly more powerful than it was 4 years ago. The decks SotF was making unviable have now either died of natural causes (forget about Zoo, when was the last time you played against...

This is a fair point. I don't think it should be looked at as needing two specific four-ofs in the deck, since these decks are already capable of playing turn one Trinisphere via Grim monolith + Sol...

My initial thought is that Mana Vault makes a turn one Trinisphere far too easy.

I've actually been liking the flavor of TNN a lot more recently. Its like the ultimate Invisible Stalker, but for the extra U, you get 2 power and "can't be damaged", kind of like an Invisible...

Time is a concern with WGD since you'll be playing more games on average than other matches, but not a huge concern since the combo itself can be made into a sequence of short-cuts quite easily, so...

Animate Dead is an aura, so even though its worded strangely, it still targets. As for unbanning WGD, it should definitely stay banned imo. The combo itself is probably not strong enough that it'd...

Yeah, it does feel like they missed an opportunity for an unban. The meta's really open right now, so it feels like a good time to introduce more cards. Hopefully, they were thinking about unbanning...

I think a 2-card combo for 3 mana is perfectly acceptable in comparison to other legal combos. Infernal Tutor + LED into Ad Nauseam is a 4 mana combo. Entomb + Reanimate is 2 mana and some life, or...

In my eyes, SotF nullified all other aggro strategies. If you wanted to play an aggro deck, you played SotF or you were just doing something inferior. S&T, other combo decks are still valid stragies....
