OK... Time to build a complicated BUG deck that will never win, and mostly never work but will just make some people cry. Prophet of Kruphix + Ob Nixilis, Unshackled
Chance that those to creature will be in my hand/battlefield when my opponent will Chord of Calling? 0.001% chance.
I'm just glad that the new art depicts something that Green would actual summon and not the elusive giant green bird of Ravnica depicted in the original art.
It's about time they gave us a modern staple in a core set that uses the mechanic. It was a huge mistake not putting Noble Hierarch in the core set with exalted.

Very well done Wizards. Very well done. Should be a player in standard and Modern just got easier to play. I'm also psyched to pick up a cheap one for EDH.

I'd be way happier about the Chord if I hadn't just shelled out $28 for a second one a few months ago. Its still cool though.

The original printing won't get hurt too much as it's outside of the new frame and the original printing… (See thoughtseize for comparison) it will get hurt in the short term (whilst CoC is in Standard) and then go up from there.
But look on the bright side, this way, you get to have More! (at less than that price)
Every single set I see people make posts saying "Best set ever!!" but seriously, best Core Set ever!
I don't know, 9th edition is still my favorite core set ever just because it had so many awesome reprints that spawned entire archetypes on their own, or became major players in exiting archetypes:
Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"

I just traded in my original toward some sweet store credit. I wonder just how much the price will drop? And even though I appreciate the art on the original, I'm glad they opted for a new commission. If I have one complaint, I just wish the art played up the singing part of the card's name a bit more.
Yea, the Noble Hierarch fiasco was one to forget. It's kinda ironic Wizards gave SCG to preview this card.
Love the rub ins to the cartels.
Wizards: "Here you go, write something sweet about it... and lower that ******* price will you."
I think I completely missed the fiasco you were referring to.
Noble hierarch wasnt printed in m13, but did they state it would, or was it a fake 'spoiler'?

Exalted was the mechanic of M13. So many people expected a Noble Hierarch reprint in order to drive down that 40 dollar price tag. But she was completely absent and people were annoyed.
Hear that again? It's its price dropping like crazy!
That's what's needed when cards get too expensive: reprints and more reprints.
Now, what about a goyf reprint? Fetches? Clique? Confidant? You're so late wizards.

Haha, more like the complete opposite. It's usually complaints of WORST SET EVER.
That said, this Core Set rocks!
I don't know, 9th edition is still my favorite core set ever just because it had so many awesome reprints that spawned entire archetypes on their own, or became major players in exiting archetypes:
Early Harvest
Magnivore / Wildfire
Greater Good
Zur's Weirding
Form of the Dragon
Howling Mine / Sudden Impact
Urzatron
All had their own unique deck centered around them, and there were a bunch of cards that saw a lot of play:
Wrath of God
Painlands
Savannah Lions
Blood Moon
Glorious Anthem
Story Circle
Ivory Mask
Defense Grid
Kird Ape
Loxodon Warhammer
Paladin en-vec
Peace of Mind
Persecute
Phyrexian Arena
Pyroclasm
Sacred Ground
Weathered Wayfarer
Plus a ton of other great/fun cards like Seedborn Muse, tribal lords, and Battle of Wits.
M15 still looks pretty great so far. Lots of fun cards and we still have more to go. Still no new Squirrel cards for me yet, though.

I was almost certain they were going to do this again.
It's good to see them learn from their mistakes.
Also, better art is beyond welcome.

Alpha/Beta/Unlimited would like a word
Fan of the reprint for sure. Quite nice how many good reprints there are this core set.
