Isn't that enough?
With two lands per color at least, these decks now have access to 8 on-color lands and as many off-color lands as they care to use. That's huge. Insane, even. They need to be...
Oh, happy to share my personal perspective and my attempted objective perspective.
I play Vintage, Legacy, Cube, and casual 60, and I love finding interesting interactions and synergies between...
Wizards can do what they want, of course, and I'm happy that they're printing powerful new cards. Printing without being scared and then using the banhammer to manage formats instead of just printing...
Thassa's Oracle also finally gives you a good win condition for my favorite combo that never had a good one:
[[Puresight Merrow]] + [[Karametra's Favor]]
t2, Cast Merrow.
t3, Favor targeting...
I think you all are proving my point. That is to say, the Reprint Policy itself doesn't actually stop Wizards from printing cards that would broaden access into Legacy and Vintage; it's just that...
I'm glad someone made a thread about this because I've been tooting this horn for years:

In a nutshell, the idea is...

Don't be down on yourself -- this card is a natural fit for Zombardment. I think it's worth testing....
Sure, I mean, what color DOESN'T have a one-drop 2/2 or better dependent on artifacts? Black and Green, I guess. White has at least 2. Still, if any color is supposed to have weaker creatures, it is...
Standard is always boring. When you see all these bans, that's a GOOD THING. Why? it means they're taking risks. They're printing powerful cards, not watered-down Theros garbage. Standard with lots...

Why no love for the child of Raging Goblin + Mogg Fanatic? I like him.
Many of these cards are pretty "meh."
Today! This lord is inferior in every way to the 8 existing 2-drop lords you can run, unless you're playing UG already for some other reason. There's not...
This "City" mechanic is another parasitic one. It's Energy, but with a Boolean instead of an Integer. Lame.
That said, the cards can still be playable if they're good on their own. It is most...
Ditto. No one is going to pay 2UR for a sometimes Tolarian Academy. Card is fine in EDH, but is unplayable in eternal. When you can pay 2UR, and you've successfully got 5 artifacts out there, what...
High Tide does not run Sapphire Medallion.
Literally?
I mean, they increased the cost of the creature and removed the ability to put the artifact onto the battlefield for 2 mana but hey its literally the same thing.
I mean... whats the...
I mean, it can also destroy fish. Putting fish in the ocean kills them. But, not man-fish.
Homarids are the least of the flavor fails here.

Yeah, but Merfolk is already a regular threat in the metagame. It's not "tech," it's just there, and at any sizeable event you can't afford to turn off all your removal just because you bumped into...
Yeah, either that, or some kind of Dimir or Esper control deck that wants to grind out the opponent. It's not a competitive deck right now, but something like Mesmeric Orb / Unravel Sanity Mill,...
I think people are selling this card short and I agree with the OP - this card is Legacy viable.
It competes with Toxic Deluge, Pernicious Deed, and Damnation. However, it has differences that...
Marsil is practically Show and Tells 5-8 in the right list, that's what is interesting.
We restricted Probe in Vintage and it basically did nothing whatever to hinder the decks that used it.
So... just saying.
Weeeeell you're equivocating a little bit.
See, the Wizards deck is boss this time around because the new cards are better. But, when it comes to the established, pre-Commander 2017 value of the...
