(NOTE: This is a rant. Period. It's not a nice rant. But it's not supposed to be insulting at all, not to Serra, not to anyone. It's just a question that's been bugging me since the dawn of time. I want an answer, that's all...)
Ok, that's it! I need this cleared up NOW, it's been bugging me since I started playing! Someone explain this to me _now_!
You have this cycle of cards that give 3 for 1 advantage in resources. You have Giant Growth. You have Healing Salve. You have Dark Ritual. You have Lightning Bolt. And you have... Ancestral Recall??? No, sorry, doesn't work. All of them are common, except the Recall. Why would the Recall be rare?
'Because it's better?'
No, no, no. If the Recall was meant to be part of that cycle, it would have been common. It's that simple. It was an Alpha cycle, for God's sake. Why would one card be rare and the rest common?
I have stoutly maintained since the day I was first informed of this 'cycle' that Recall is not part of it. Unstable Mutation is. No, it doesn't fit Blue's theme. But it's common, and give 3 for 1. Recall fits two of the three requirements (in theme, 3 for 1, but not common). Unstable fits two of the requirements (3 for 1, common, but not in theme). I believe it is part 5 of this cycle, not Recall.
Anyone care to show me otherwise? Please? (I'll accept someone citing an official source (no, an article by Buhler in the Duelist isn't gonna cut it). I'll also accept someone showing me that I'm off my rocker. But this has been bugging me SO long... Anyone?
