The tides of fate procreate disaster
and awakens thy master
the gates explode and the seals anulled
between the dust lyes a fold
of unimaginal minds untold
i duress in death's caress
where the unknow take hold
Through a portal of the past
I regress past a river blazing cold
CoP: Red and CoP: Black will be missed, if not for their quality, but for the fact that they made every single core set, until now.

W CoP: Red and CoP: Black. I mourn for you, just as I mourned for CoP: White/Green/Blue. Luminesce is nothing compared to the CoPs. Story Circle... just isn't the same.
U Oh, I wish I could just Rewind back to the days of glorious blue control. But I no longer can. If I may not Mana Leak, then I shall leak from my eyes.

Oh, and Tron, I have always hated you. Good riddance.

CoP: Red, CoP: Black: May you protect again in you afterlife... You've always been protecting us since the dawn of time, but now, nobody stood up and protected you. Savannah Lions: I wish I could save you but god wanted you to rest, not for eternity, but until Sulfur Elemental leaves this world of ours. God will revive you from the ashes.
U Annex: You've been stealing but that was your purpose. You were created just for that and even if heaven dumps you to hell, we would never forget your legacy. Mana Leak: Rune Snag tried to kill you way back but it was not your time. Now that the moment is really here, we salute you for giving us power to counter early drops.
B Persecute: You annoyed me and I'm glad you're dead but I earn my respect for granting me somebody to fight against with. Phyrexian Arena: You annoyed me too but there was Disenchant whose always helping me. I will surely miss hating you.
R Wildfire: Now we've known each other since Urza's Block but it is only now that I get to know you better. Thanks you for helping me against Solar Flare Kird Ape: Too bad that crazy goblin killed you. I give you two thumbs up for being staple with Gruul
G Wood Elves: Too bad that chick druid overpowered you. Who could blame her, she was really powerful than you are. Take care dear friend Biorhythm: Honor thee, for you had defeated me even if I was at 35.
Dearest Tron,
I hated you, may you rot in peace and never be resurrected again.
White is the one color for equality. So how do you get advantage when you're unwilling to give yourself a leg up? You find a way to turn equality into a weapon. Make it active and offensive. Wrath of God answers this call. Evening the playing field is quite aggressive when you're the one behind. Or you're the one that knew such an event was coming and planned ahead. Wrath of God gives the most defensive color some teeth. - MaRo http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/mr164
Master of time, yet now his time has passed. Rest in Peace Temporal Adept, woe is me, I will never more know the glory of the early double adept against Tooth and Nail, other Tron variants and control mirrors. You will be sorely missed.
Goodbye Will-o'-the-wisp & blinking spirit... so sad that during your time in 9th both of you did not get the same popularity you guys had back in those days when you two were the 'best blockers' around...
Here's to mana leak and zombify cards to simple for their own good.
And to seething song to so many just a cog in the dragonstorm machine but to me you were the powerhouse of many a red based combo deck you will be sorely missed

From MaRo
Every rarity gets good cards. That means that some mythic rares will be tournament quality as will some commons, some uncommons and some rares. My promise wasn't that mythic rares wouldn't get good cards but that we wouldn't limit the good cards to only being mythic rare.
Bear this in mind the next time a powerful mythic rare is spoiled
Thanks to chaostheory90 for finding this quiz for me
No one should be laid to rest without someone in attendance. I don't have time to attend the funerals of every card that has no loved ones, so I've limited it to just one for each "color."
:symw:: Glory Seeker - May you someday find that which you have sought.
:symu:: Flight - They found newer and prettier wings, and cast you aside without a second thought.
:symb:: Giant Cockroach - We thought you'd be the only thing left after the apocalypse. If we had known you'd never survive, maybe we could have put a stop to it.
:symr:: Goblin Balloon Brigade - I tried to warn them that they shouldn't have tried to travel around the world in 80 days in a craft of their own design. Why didn't they listen to me? Stream of Life - Your leaving is tragic, but I hope that even you can appreciate the irony. Teferi's Puzzle Box - I really thought your health was returning when I saw the picture of yourself you sent me. Out of all the cards I vistited today, you're the only one I'll truly miss. I'm sorry . . . I need to go
The two that make me the saddest are Blinding Angel and Veteran Cavalier though. Blinding Angel because I remember building an awesome control deck around her and the art was great. Veteran Cavalier may seem a little weird because she's just a french vanilla common, but for some reason I like her. She just looks so cool. It's one of the cards that I collect tons of for no reason.
So, enjoy retirement brave veteran, and I hope you get the call to pick up the sword and be vigilant once again someday. Till then you've always got a place in my casual deck.
Don't look at me.
Also, fare thee well, Tron, you gave them hell, that's for sure.
Mana Leak... meh. I always liked Rune Snag better. I hope you rot.
a piece of my soul, through poetic sows.

G Biorhythm will be missed. Oh, what fun we had!

P.S. Why is City of Brass not back yet? I have 8 of them collecting dust.
Thanks to AEther for the avvy.
THE SONG IS DEAD, THE DRAGONS CRY, TENTH IS FREAKING AWESOME
DEATH TO DRAGONSTORM AND ALL ITS FRIENDS, TENTH IS FREAKING AWESOME
...Sorry.
Yet Another [Æther] Vort... err... Banner! And Avatar! Thanks, Le_Gambit!
Because it costs quite a tad more man
Missing mana leak and rewind. And the Dralnu and Dragonstorm decks ... RIP
Five blue mana.
Four copies.
Three mana to transmute Brainspoil.
Two mana for a signet for a turn 4 win.
One upkeep to end it.
Two-hundred dreams made real.
Rest in peace.
Becuase it costs 1 More, and is about 341,000 times easier to kill...
I really wish that it hadn't gone...It was such a great card...and i have a playset...sad me....

Well, I guess I'm being unfair, it was the storm mechanic that made the card annoying.
In that case,

...and those of us who don't play Standard card about cards "leaving" the core set, why, exactly?
