DemonDragonJ on MtG Reprint Wish List

7 months ago

Magic: the Gathering has thousands, or even tens of thousands, of cards, some of which have been reprinted more often then have others (i.e., some have been reprinted numerous times, while others have never been reprinted), so I would like to make a list of any and all cards that users here would like to see reprinted, in any set and at any time. Obviously, we cannot mention any cards that are on the reserved list, but any other cards are eligible to be mentioned here.

First, I shall mention Book of Rass, Claws of Gix, Martyr's Cause, and Righteous Aura, since none of those cards have ever been reprinted, or at least they have not been reprinted, recently, so I very much would like to see them reprinted in the new border style and with new artwork, and they are also excellent cards for teaching newer players that life and permanents can be used as resources, as well.

Next, it would be great if Anointed Procession could be reprinted, especially considering that WotC has reprinted both Doubling Season and Parallel Lives, recently, meaning that the two green enchantments are much less expensive than is the white one.

I also find it to be very surprising that Oloro, Ageless Ascetic has never been reprinted, outside of a judge promo, which I do not consider to be a proper reprint, given that he is a very popular general in EDH.

Absorb was reprinted, in the most recent visit to Ravnica, but it is still a rare, which I feel is definitely not the rarity that it should have, now; it most certainly should be only an uncommon, and I also would like to see Undermine reprinted as an uncommon, as well.

The filter lands (i.e., Cascade Bluffs, Twilight Mire, and so forth) have been reprinted in numerous Commander sets, but either with the original artwork and flavor text from Shadowmoor and Eventide or with artwork and flavor text in Universes Beyond sets, and they have never been reprinted in a standard set, so I would like to see them reprinted in a standard set, so that they shall have new artwork and flavor text.

Ancient Spider has never been reprinted, so I feel that it definitely deserves to be; with Thunder Spirit being on the reserved list (which it most certainly should not be, in my mind), I believe that WotC should reprint Sky Spirit more frequently, as it is such a useful creature, and, similarly, Tempest Drake has never been reprinted, so it definitely should be. Also, Dragonlair Spider is not terribly expensive, currently but I feel that it deserves a reprint, to keep it affordable.

The utility lands from both Ravnica (i.e., Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion) and Innistrad (i..e, Kessig Wolf Run) are an interesting case, since some of those cards have been reprinted more often than have the others, so I would like to see all of them reprinted, to keep them easily available.

The original ten guildmages (from the first Ravnica block) were reprinted in Ravnica Remastered, so I would like to see the ten guildmages from the Return to Ravnica block (i.e., Vizkopa Guildmage, Zameck Guildmage, and so forth) reprinted, as well.

Coalition VictoryGC was reprinted as a timeshifted card, but I would like to see it reprinted in the new frame style, and, Cromat has never been reprinted, either, so it would be nice to see that card in the new frame style, as well.

Given how frequently WotC has reprinted Command Tower, Reliquary Tower, Thespian's Stage, and Exotic Orchard, I really wish that they would reprint Homeward Path and Reflecting Pool more frequently, as well.

Grixis Charm is the only charm from its cycle that has not yet been reprinted, so I would like to see it reprinted, and, similarly, Dromar, the Banisher and Numot, the Devastator are also the only cards in their cycles that have never been reprinted, either, so I definitely would like to see them be reprinted, at some point, as well.

Given that WotC recently reprinted Mikokoro, Center of the Sea twice, it would be nice to see them reprint Miren, the Moaning Well; I understand that High Market is generally superior to the well, but it still would be nice to have the well reprinted, anyway.

Intervention Pact is the only card from its cycle that was not reprinted in Time Spiral remastered, so I definitely would like to see it reprinted, at some point.

The ten lieges were reprinted in the second Double Masters set, but Deathbringer Liege was the only one that had new artwork, so I would like to see all ten reprinted, with new artwork, at some point, and I also would like to see the ten demigods (i.e., Divinity of Pride, Deus of Calamity, and so forth), as well as the ten auras that are associated with them (i.e., Scourge of the Nobilis, Clout of the Dominus, and so forth) reprinted, as well.

I believe that I have mentioned a fairly significant number of cards that I would like to see reprinted, so I shall now open this conversation to other users, here; what are some cards that you very much would like to see be reprinted?

Idoneity on Magic: the Gaythering

Love the gay deck! 'Tis exquisite! I'd say that the best five-colour commander without gender is Cromat, but I would also settle for Atogatog.

I very much like the shark section! Is that an Ikea shark reference?

I also also have a plug for my own gay list, though it unfortunately favours game power over gay power: Being Gay in the Woods

Love the list! Easy upvote!

I love Cromat!! My buddy used to play him back in 2012 when we started playing commander. Time has aged that guy lol

Go with the OG 5 color commander, Cromat! Bonus points if you actually cast him and force people to read him over and over when you attack :)

Cromat is the best! This deck is a really cool concept.

Isu the Abominable would add Future Sight value to this list.

Winter's Night doubling your mana exclusively might be useful.

DrukenReaps on Alternate Ban List

3 years ago

I've never really been a fan of the ban list used for commander. I don't think it addresses potential problem cards the right way. There's always going to be a new problem card printed. I also think there's cards stuck on there that use to be scary and just aren't now. Like when Worldfire came off and no one really cared lol. So I wanted to just go through the mental exercise of designing a new ban list. First thing is I wanted to bring back the old "banned as commander" and therefore have 2 ban lists. The argument I heard most against this is that it's complicated but we play the most complex deck design game in MTG. I think people can handle 2 ban lists. For the banned from the 99 part of the list I was thinking I'd focus on fast tutors and fast mana. Like I said there will always be more problem cards. Many that aren't banned are arguably stronger than banned ones currently. For example Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host is arguably easier and more consistent than Cromat + Coalition Victory.

So here are the 2 lists, they do not contain everything. Just wanted to start the idea and see people's thoughts.

Banned as Commander- Braids, Cabal Minion Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Griselbrand Iona, Shield of Emeria Leovold, Emissary of Trest

Banned from the 99- Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Ruby Mox Sapphire Black Lotus Channel Sol Ring Mana Crypt Mana Vault Worldly Tutor Enlightened Tutor Personal Tutor Vampiric Tutor Demonic Tutor Mystical Tutor

I would also simply declare that Companion doesn't work in Commander. So you can play your Lutri, the Spellchaser if you so desire. I think this mechanic as a whole was poorly thought out and poorly tested, hence the changes and bans across multiple formats.

Neither Fervent Charge nor Cromat have ever been reprinted, so I would like to see them in the new card frame, and I also think that Chromatic Orrery should be reprinted to bring down its price, as well.

BX223Hunter exactly. Something to use extra treasure on. My other choice was Cromat.

It needs a revisit as treasure continues to get printed and pushed. Playing with all the artifact lands is a real treat. Lots of silly synergies. Artificer's Intuition + Surly Badgersaur is so janky and so good. Wins games.

How's 4 color Breya playing out?
