This looks fun! Maybe AK Intuition will be making a comeback!

I doubt adding more cards (under-powered ones at that) to a 6 slot minimum draw engine will make it more playable.

But with this I can run Thalia in a AK deck!

1/1

Seems strictly better than Cursecatcher in vintage, and I've seen it played before.  RTR seems really sick for standard and modern, not too much for other formats besides Izzet Charm

It's not strictly better due to Merfolk being a deck, but having natural evasion and now card redundancy may create new variations of Fish, perhaps incorporating Ninja of the Deep Hours again.

Strictly is not appropriate. But in non tribal hate decks being flying with 8 x Exalted is pretty boss. It's also a relevant WHITE one drop in G/W hate bears whereas previously the only other one drop was Noble hierarch (student of warfare / mikeus aren't hate pieces just dudes).

Edit: Also ... INB4ORLYALTER

Oh hey, nice Yawgmoth's Will.

edit - and a billion other cards too :/

Nice to see reprints of the Ravnica duals showing up on the mtgsalvation.com spoiler.

Now if only they reprint the real duals, we'll be talking business!
