Ah, thanks for reminding me of that. I remember looking at that same document when I was writing posts in the Memories thread for Fluctuator. That announcement is the earliest example I've seen of multiple DCI bans with explanations that attempted to predict alternate futures. For example, on...

Recurring Nightmare Just a bit before Tolarian Academy showed up, a popular Standard deck was a creature toolbox/reanimation deck called "Rec-Sur" for Recurring Nightmare and Survival of the Fittest. That really put Recurring Nightmare on the map and it seems like most of us still strongly...

Whew, I thought you guys were going to attack with creatures! To kill me. But if you just want to declare and attack with nothing, that's fine... :rolleyes:

In response, sac the attacking Sifter to Evolutionary Leap.

Attack with Catacomb Sifter #1 and the face-down manifest creature. Blocks/responses?

Nope.

EOT Leap the Emissary, scry, leave the card on top, manifest the top card of my library, reveal Jungle Hollow for Leap, reveal Catacomb Sifter and put it into my hand. UUD, Rogue's Passage, Catacomb Sifter. Responses?

Sultai Emissary, done. Spidey: 16 Hand: 7 Library: 47 Battlefield: (T,T) Mt x2 (T,U) Island x2 (U) Guttersnipe (2/2; Whenever I cast an instant or sorcery spell, ~ deals 2 dmg to each opponent) Graveyard: Divination Exile...

EOT Leap my Eldrazi Scion, scry, leave the card on top, reveal Sultai Emissary and put it into my hand. UUD, Swamp, attack with Catacomb Sifter...

What are you gonna do? Manadrown me? Oh wait...

Island, done. Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 30 Command Zone: Hand: 1 Library: 44 Battlefield: (U) Island (U,U) Swamp (U) Crumbling Necropolis (~ etb tapped. T: add U, B, or R to my mana pool.) (U) Dragonskull Summit (~ etb tapped unless I control a swamp or mountain. T: add B or R to my...

Anyway, I think Windfall was mostly targeted due to guilt by association with Wheel of Fortune and Timetwister. Additionally, Braingeyser was already restricted in Vintage and the very similar card Stroke of Genius had been used in Academy decks. Many players argued that Stroke of Genius was...

Fine then, attack Spidey with both Horrors.

Evolutionary Leap, done. Spidey: 18 Hand: 6 Library: 50 Battlefield: (T,T) Mt x2 (T) Island (S) Guttersnipe (2/2; Whenever I cast an instant or sorcery spell, ~ deals 2 dmg to each opponent) Graveyard: Exile...

Attack Spidey with Vampire Nighthawk and with Horror token mandated to attack him.

I mean, I've played with Altar of the Brood and obviously haven't played with this new card yet, but Altar of the Brood seems way more potent. Token generators have proven themselves as some of the most powerful cards in the game, but I suspect you have to jump through too many hoops on this...

UUD, Swamp, attack with Catacomb Sifter, blocks/responses?

UUD... I'll target the Blood Ogre.

But anyway, not to change the subject to the watermark (which is very ugly), and focusing on the card itself... I guess it has to not work on any tokens in order not to be clunky, but that means in order to get value out of it, we have to either have lots of creatures leave our graveyard or we...

I seriously reread it the same way twice just now because of that hideous iridescent watermark thing. Kept not seeing "cards" because it was on the other side of that shiny mess.
