You really managed to miss a lot of cards there huh? Blinded by the lights I reckon
I would say it is far more likely that its a simple mistake in entering the decklist. Besides, wizards aren't doing straight reprints in this set, they are changing the names and colours of the reprinted cards (planeshifted) or putting a new spin and a new colour on some older cards. If they were to 'reprint' Phage, it wouldn't be as Phage, the Untouchable, it would be as Phage, the Unstoppable or something. See Akroma for example, originally Akroma, Angel of Wrath and now Akroma, Angel of Fury.
I already started a post about this last night, with all the appropriate things highlighted in red... in Speculation, where this belongs anyway... this should prolly be merged with my thread

phage is one of the most flavorful cards in magic and it would be good to see her reprinted. but like the other people said, it might be impossible. phage is just too black. now whether phage is ever coming back can be debated, but i think she won't. the reason being simply that i can't imagine any other card that would fit phage better than the current phage. the point is if she touches you, you're dead. phage is known very well as the untouchable and if she ever did became touchable, i wouldn't think she was cool anymore.
Hello all, one this is alternite time line themed and you know. If it was not for Braids, Seton would of some way or another cured her. Then Jeska would of became a Druid. Kamahl I bet would of went down another road. Like may be after finding out she was ok, chooses to go to the Order for punishment and some way or another becomes their new leader. Makes you think alot and I hope in the future they do sets like this, because I so love this kind of thing.

Damn the ferret said this deck is standard.... But wait why is """Phage, the Untouchable""" there???
Hmm.. maybe 10th Ed?
Is this a really sneaky preview or is the ferret just out of it...?? I wonder...:rolleyes:
EDIT: Sorry for that. Seems that The Ferret really just screwed up...
