Loved that Finkel article on himself. Got to find out he acquired the original art for infiltrator too/it's where it belongs.
If WotC went konami tarmogoyf would have been spoiled at uncommon or common. This isn't yugioh. From what I hear of yugioh it's a nightmare in terms of $200 cards regularly plummeting to a quarter when said card is reprinted at common. That hasn't happened in MTG nor will it ever happen.
If domain is a viable draft archetype, oh god yes to etched monstrosity and etched oracle coming back.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
Since Shadowmage Infiltrator was a timeshifted card, could we possibly see Pendelhaven get reprinted as well?
I had this query the other night, could we see Timeshifted cards get a modern print? And, this just proves that it can and I'd like that. I would love to even see Gemstone Mine - and that has a place in the mana fixing for limited.
Well, this is a bit of a surprise-
I was half expecting Ulamog to be left out.
I also think Shadowmage Infiltrator is a *terrible* Dimir choice over Glimpse the Unthinkable.

I deeply wish they would stop putting other faces on invitational cards. Change the art, it's fine. Just keep it the same person! It's so insulting to them and I am glad that Jon and Bob, not Chris or Jens to my knowledge, have spoken out about it. WotC should really stop doing this several cards ago!
Didn't expect Temple at uncommon. The new Shadowmage Infiltrator art is so awesome! Totally should have been in Dimir guild in the new Ravnica. Shame it's not really a good card these days.
Great stuff. I'm kinda bummed out about Shadowmage Inflitrator, but even that seems like it'd be fun in a draft environment. I'm torn between getting more packs or playing more draft...
Just the other day I was thinking that I wanted to get a couple more shadowmage infiltrators so I got all excited thinking about the extra finkels that would be laying around since it isn't exactly a hot modern staple. Then I saw that art I REALLY hate when they reprint an invitational card without the likeness of the invitational winner. Doesn't help that I haven't liked any of the alt arts either (with the exception of solemn simulacrum- it's not sad robot anymore, but the art is decent enough)
To be fair, you can't really see whether it is Finkel or not under the hood.
On another note, I wish that we had gotten Wrath of Leknif instead of Infiltrator. Playing that, untapping, and then playing Baneslayer Angel would be sweet.

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
