Based af, I've always felt like Remand would have made more sense in WhiteOriginally Posted by Barook
Better, white Remand. Yep.
Granted it probably won't actually do anything, but like... hooray it exists
I'm going to stick it on an Isochron Scepter, not even Abrupt Decay can stop me now!
Curses! The dreaded second decay that was actually the first decay
For one turn?

And found I was for endurance made
This does make me happy

More human nations are allied with Sauron than oppose him. Largely because Gondor was an oppressive imperialistic power before their decline, as evidenced by helping the Rohirrim commit genocide on the Dunlendings and Druedain and steal their land.

When was the last time you have seen Remand in storm?
Correct, you shouldn't wear it for very long.
WOTC nanny state protects planeswalkers.
In modern? The answer is the last time I saw storm, a handful of months before MH2
In Legacy? I don't think ever.
Indeed, as this book correctly advocates, the all orcs and Sauron thing are fantasy written by the victors to demonize their opponents.

IIRC Remand was very occasionally played in High Tide decks back in the stone age.
I do think that one of the issues with color balance is that blue has way too much control over the stack relative to the other colors, and that I like seeing stuff like reprieve that pushes against that.
But isn't this going to be essentially used in blue based decks?
That's the one I was talking about!
I used to play it in Spring Tide lmao, it felt good at the time. Sometimes it was a counter, sometimes it let you go Brain Freeze into Remand into Brain Freeze if you wanted to go off with a lower Storm count... I played around Gaea's Blessing with it once, I felt pretty okay about that
I think the goal is that, say, black/white decks could have stack interaction that feels black/white, just like blue and green get creature removal like Prey Upon and Unsummon.
2008 roughly
So like, fair enough

It has always been very dumb that only one color can meaningfully interact with the stack so the more they change that the better

No, you do have the exact same card in blue (better for manabase and FoW), which so little play.
It could offer some nonU decks stack interactions. The trouble is to have a non U deck that do not want to tap out on its turn. That would require more/better instant that bring threats. Even a card like collected company (if it were better) is counterproductive, as it pushes you to want creatures in your deck (tap out during your turn).
The closest I could think of strategy wise would the old astral drift, which definitely does not want this kind of card.
The issue is you want redundancy with counters, all the more so with a short term counter, so the card by itself won't likely see much Legacy play, but if it signals a widening of counterspells into white then it could have significant impact combined with other cards. Maybe.
It could also end up being a meta answer to a card like Supreme Verdict or something, I suppose.
