If Boseiju, Who Shelters All isn't banned in modern, then why does no one run it? It could make Ad Nauseam worth running, or it could make card:Pyromancer's Swath decks a little more lethal. So why do I never see it on any Modern deck list?

I understand the tapped, colorless, and life pay downsides, but it just seems like the effect is very worth it in Modern. I will playtest a few in my Ad Nauseam deck, maybe I will find out then why the Pro's aren't running it.

It really shines when you have something to fetch it with (like Primeval Titan so you can Tooth and Nail a couple Eldrazi).

I thought I saw some1 running it at worlds, this card looks to me like a singleton that you's run in addition to your regular mana-base.

I'd run 2 or 4, since it doesn't help you if you never draw it.

Having 4 means you might draw a 2nd copy fairly often, and that's usually not a good thing.

It's a good thing if I want my Ad Nauseam as well as my Repay in Kind to go un-countered.

Although typically it can go off well before I get 2x Boseiju, Who Shelters All in play, so it's probably good to run just the 2.

Did you notice it's Legendary? If you did, but it doesn't really bother you, then that's fine I guess.

I did forget that it was legendary. I was already decided to run 2 of them, but that does make the argument for it a little more reasonable. Thank you.

Well, I guess this is actually starting to catch on MTGO. I played a mirror-match today, Ad Nauseam , and my opponent was running it. I hit my combo with Phyrexian Unlife and his card:Angel's Grace couldn't save him. That's what I like about the unlife, it stays on the field.

It's touchy to include in a deck, since drawing it in multiples stinks and you always have to pay the life for mana, but I think you're being very perceptive here.
