Yes, that's one reason, but it's also to have removal that hits things Bolt doesn't. It was at most a 2-of for Phoenix decks, sometimes not even maindeck. Not sure where the deck is at right now. I think Bazaar Trademage will become one of the key threats in that deck, actually. It's a 3/4 flyer that feeds Phoenix and Pyromancer Ascension. With that in the deck I think Lightning Axe might get pushed to the side. I could be completely wrong about this, but I think it has merit. Three mana isn't too much for a deck that cantrips as much as Izzet Phoenix as well.

Please wander over to the modern section! I would love to get your feedback on a RUG Hollow-Vine list I posted. Its under 'Naya Vengevine', but I didn't want to make a new thread. Maybe you meant Legacy, but I was pretty stoked to start brewing for Modern with Bazaar Trademage.

Has value vs. Eldrazi and Tron mostly I think, maybe a bunch of Vintage applications? Could be wrong. Probably a sideboard card either way.

Menace has been around a long time. It just didn't have a keyword.

After all cards have been shown here's my judgement: It's a cool and interesting set especially for the more experienced players but it's certainly not justified to charge an increased price given what's in here. The regular booster price would have been perfectly fine and more appropriated, this isn't a premium product by any means.
morgen_coke, I guess Ruthless Sniper is Modern's Rift. Maybe it can help you out.
Anybody else see this as a portent of future storylines? Phyrexia tries to take over Ixalan after succeeding on Mirrodin? There's mythos overlap in the importance of suns on both planes...
