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.

I'm pretty stoked for that guy. But only because I want to discard vengevines to it and cast hollow ones for free

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.

Other cards of note from full spoiler drop:

Full spoiler is up.

Shattered Assumptions
1BB
Sorcery
Choose One
- target opponent reveals hand and discards all colorless cards
- target opponent reveals hand and discards all multicolored cards

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

EDIT: dammit Ben!
lol

This card upsets me because I never remember what Menace does, but sure give rules text to Evolve. Not like it's the mechanic that's over two years older or anything. Nah.

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

Goblin War Drums

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.

Isn't Menace currently evergreen? That's the real reason why there is no rules text for it.

morgen_coke, I guess Ruthless Sniper is Modern's Rift. Maybe it can help you out.

It's evergreen and it's, for some reason, associated with zombies.

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...

To be fair, the sun is important in nearly every culture ever.
