This. I appreciate the fact that Veteran Explorer is rather annoyed by it.

Really loving that functionality. Need to get one for my Daretti EDH-deck. It's gonna be so fun with Clock of Omens

Love it, appreciate the art, the new flavor text and the sly reference to Veteran Explorer. Cheers, Wizards.

I can't express how happy I am that they reverted the functionality.
This card is the ONLY card in the history of Magic where the MTGO printing didn't "count". Matt Tabak uses "this card was printed and works that way on MTGO - we can't change it because MTGO counts as a printing" all the time to justify keeping cards the way they are (Lotus Vale, etc).
But this was printed and worked in MTGO with the untap clause. I should know, I re-built the deck I loved from my childhood with Icy Manipulators and Relic Barriers and had a great time in casual for a few months. Until out of nowhere, they decided to strip the clause away. I've been emailing them/posting about it for years. It was truly an anomaly to their stated policy, and they never gave a good reason for why they did it.
So this is actually undoing a great injustice that's lingered for a decade or so. I could not be happier.
Just hope it doesn't become prohibitively good in legacy, otherwise it'll just get banned instead. Then maybe they can print a functional reprint of the "fixed" version that will no longer exist now that they've errata'd it? What a weird situation!
We need more rares like this that aren't expensive but are nostalgic and strong not things like Call the Skybreaker(<-- Wizards WTF?!)
Don't knock Call the Skybreaker in Limited. It's a pretty good finisher.
I see a lot of people knocking some cards that are in EMA simply due to the Limited environment. And my response each time is to go and draft with it, and then enjoy opening the stuff you really wanted from the packs it won you.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I wasn't expecting this. I never bothered considered getting one for EDH because of how relatively ancient it is, but I might consider it now...
I understand the feelings of those with nostalgic feelings for the original art (I'm personally not too attached to it, so I'm neutral to it), but I wished they kept the old flavor text (I know they don't do real-world quotations anymore, but as a reprint in a Masters set...)

Didn't notice that before. That's great to see! Hopefully we'll get to see some other art-veterans making a comeback.
