Right? Wish they would stop printing these sideboard cards at Rare. Going to feel super bad opening these in a tourny.
You'd rather open more of them at uncommon? Not that I mind the card personally, but I always question the logic of the "why is this at rare?" crowd. Pray tell, where is it supposed to be?
Yeah i would. This can easily be a U2 like fatal push. I'd rather have beginners opening fun rares, or some rare that promotes a basic game strategy. Like turning little red men sideways, or burn. Next time please save the "pray tell". It comes off really condescending.

As opposed to an uncommon that promotes a basic game play strategy, like the ten gold uncommons? Not all rares are designed for one type of player. Maybe you don't find Alpine Moon exciting, but another player might. And not every player is going to find red aggro or burn exciting, so this gives them another option.
EDIT: I saw your PM, and if what you said to me was going to get moderated here, you really shouldn't be sending it to me in a PM either. I am hereby ignoring you. Good day.
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.
