    Someone certainly did. Someone is trying to spike Glacial Chasm, up to $4 from like $0.25. Inventions are getting spiked too. Guys must be bored with the summer.

    I'm not saying it's the easiest deck to play, but the plan is so linear that I could probably get white girl wasted and still beat people with the deck.

    Someone needs to spike a GP with some copies of The Abyss or In the Eye of Chaos, I actually own some of those....

    Seriously. Or Chains of Mephistopheles. Can you imagine what the price of that thing would be if someone T8'ed a GP playing it in Tezz or Jund or 4c Loam or whatever? And it's actually a very good legacy card to boot.

    Several cards from Eternal Garden discussed here lately - Tabernacle, Drop of Honey, Glacial Chasm. As if that deck wasn't difficult to buy into in the first place, this will only deter more people from being able to play it.

    This may be a shot in the dark, but I have a sneaking suspicion about Halls of Mist. I don't think it'll skyrocket, but it's one of those R.L. cards that has potential to spike a little.

    I can't believe I bought my playset of MMA Chalice of the Void for $20 just a few years ago.

    It really doesn't seem like that long ago that you could get Chalices for $5 a pop and now they're selling for $60+??

    If Miracles becomes any good, Chains would be a legit card against it. Deck is nothing but cantrips.

    Seeing as Drop of Honey was basically reprinted in Porphyry Nodes, is there precedent to reprint reserved list cards in other colors?

    Why was there no outcry for the printing of Porphyry Nodes, and though a crappy work-around, why can't they print a green Moat if they printed a white Drop of Honey?

    The errata text on the two cards is exactly the same. Someone help me understand the reprint policy, and how the heck they got to print Nodes.

    I think it might be the timing of everything.

    Dark Depths was printed in 2006, Porphyry Nodes in 2007, and Thespian Stage was printed in 2013? Seems like the view point at the time was it's a bad card. I don't think Drop of Honey was ran in the early lands lists, and I think that's the only notable deck that runs it. Drop of Honey was also < $30 at the time.

    Although, I didn't play back then, so I don't know. It's an interesting question and if someone knows a more concrete why, I'd be interested in knowing.

    The community and the surrounding mediums of communication were much smaller them, it's possible there would be an outcry were it to happen.

    Back then they were far less strict too. This was before even the premium RL reprints of Negator, Mox Diamond, and the functional reprint thing with Fork in Reverberate

    Yeah but if we are talking about the Reserved list, unless something changed in writing I don't know how 10 changes anything, unless something was changed in writing. If it's the same policy, in writing, as then, then what the heck Wizards? Reprint, print, print.

    And also, it's food for thought on the whole legal argument, seeing as they already printed a functional reprint. A pretty curious case.

    Naaah... they've revisited the Reserved List since Porphyr was printed. It's not the same situation nowadays.

    In the sideboard - favoring original Needle or the leaked peek-needle?

    Dunno if this thread is the place to do it, but I think needle is better in any non chalice deck. If you're bringing in needle it's probably for a specific reason, and a peek at their hand to simply name the same card you were going to name with needle anyway isn't worth the extra mana. The only match up a couple see it being better than a needle that you may bring it in is against DNT because basically their whole deck is random things to name with needle. But then costing two (and often three because Thalia) is pretty bad for you because Thalia and Port. All the MUD players say they will play it over Revoker, but I'm not 100% sold as revoker attacking has relevancy, and shutting off mana abilities can be relevant (though less so when DRS is the main mana dork in the format) when stopping LED and Petals

    Hmm, I don't think this thread was the right place for that.

    Wizards seems to hinge on the 'functional reprint' part of the reserved list. Shifting an effect to a different color would probably be passable since it's an entirely functional change. Even with some proof to how good Drop of Honey is in RG Lands, most people are resistant to splashing white in the deck for Nodes since it would cause havoc on the mana base and could make the deck unstable in the early turns.

    If Wizards wanted to, they'd be fairly able to color shift Reserved list cards. That would mean Moat in Blue (like an Island Sanctuary...which is white for some reason), Nether Void in White/Blue, Argivian Archaeologist in Blue, Chains of Mephistopheles in Blue/White, Koskun Falls in Blue/White (which has already happened twice), Tabernacle in blue/white (already happened twice), City of Solitude in Blue or White (happened twice, sorta)...plenty of ways to shift things around and get interesting reprints into colors that truly need and deserve them.

    I don't think they would, but it's not unfeasible.

    So your saying they should color shift all of the legends enchantments to blue?

    can't wait for my blue nether void to compliment my Leovold
