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.

This is my favorite idea. Although I think that since we get 15 cards in an FTV, and there are 5 basic lands, we ought to do 3 different frames for each - Unglued, Unhinged, and Zendikar. Just to shake things up a bit, and appeal to everyone (personally, I don't like Unhinged lands nearly as much as the other two, but some people like them very much).

The Color Bleed FTV. Any other ideas of cards MaRo would hate?
Wall of Omens is a cantrip, and thus perfectly in line with the color pie. Every color has access to cantrips. Now if it was card draw every turn... A better choice would be Armistice.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
You gotta add Reparations to that list, if only for that flavor text! Maybe anything with Squirrels? I mean no one can take Squirrel Wrangler seriously. Just look at... everything about that card! I love it.
That would drop the price of Force so hard. Plus the MSRP would be $35 and the store retail would be $100ish. Just like Angels are right now.
Every store I called said they were doing it at "this online buyer's trade-in price +10%" so as not to get "shafted" on people flipping them. Because that's bad when the only person making money is your LGS.

This is where I get mad that Chaos Orb isn't in it. He should be legal as printed. The randomness he brings is all part of fun and strategy. Power-gamers have ruined the fun of magic cards because they hate fair chances.

Pretty sure wall of omens is fine because it's a cantrip rather than actual card advantage like adept. He's also said he's okay with Master of Waves.

Shouldn't Karn Liberated be part of that?
