Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

My lord they are hitting it out of the park with the reprints this time. Only one or two "meh" and not upshifting the rarity on this is so, so appreciated.

Well, it was about damn time as it is one of the best land fetch spells printed. Note, this can fetch duals as long as at least one of the land types is forest.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
It's about time. How many times could this have easily slotted into any other supplementary set, product, or even Standard set and NOT been put in?
Well Skyshroud is an actual place, so outside of the plane it's located in (I think Dominaria?) we weren't getting it in Standard, plus I'm pretty sure it's much too strong for the power level Standard has had for the last many years.
about time this has been reprinted, its not like was causing a problem (they basically did a slightly more expensive one with From The Ashes) but since this isn't in standard it has no need to be overcosted.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
Yes! YES! About time, WotC!
Seems a weird add to the set, given what we've seen so far - it's like they've put it in here just to help you hit three green for Vigor. It's not like we've seen any evidence pointing to Treefolk or anything yet (Skyshroud Claim shines next to stuff like Dungrove Elder and Dauntless Dourbark). But boy, did it need a reprint. Great to see it at common.
I was convinced that this would move to uncommon when it finally gets reprinted. I'm glad I was wrong.
I'm also very glad I'm very convinced it will be reprinted and hence kept procrastinating on acquiring a foil copy. This is going to be one glorious price crash I've been waiting for. (At uncommon I would have reservations of the degree of the drop, but at common I'm confident it's a crash already).

Yes, it's in Dominaria, but we did have some Core Sets during some high powered times this could have seen reprint in as well. Mostly this would be in supplementary product/sets, but my point is it shouldn't have taken this long to get a common/uncommon reprinted.

It was on Rath. But Rath got overlaid on Dominaria, so then Skyshroud was on Dominaria, and, after that, the forest was destroyed by time rift shenanigans.

On phasing:
...What? It's not a Masters set? This is Battlebond? That 2HG thing?
Are you, like, crazy sure?
Has this *finally* been reprinted in Modern frame?
It's going to be hard for this set to surpass this, for me.
Reprint Stasis!

But finally this is now forever a budget card now since this is only a common (well then again pauper would want this)
OFCOARSE no wonder those duel lands didn't get basic land types that would break the format if these were both there
But again they do the correct reprints in conspiracy sets and now battlebond sets if they succeed but not master sets
They should just shut down master sets and just replace them with sets like these.

Now if only Oubliette would get reprinted.
