its been about a year since i've played any magic at all, and i'm going to try to get back into it. i faded out right when future sight was coming out. i mostly played, and am planning on playing mtgo, due to the lack of a cardstore near here.
can you all fill me in on what i missed, the most recent sets, any new keywords, new sought after cards, the current metagame, etc? i thought it would be much easier to get a summary from you guys than to learn it all the hard way.
Sought After Cards: The top 10 in standard right now (going from MOTL) is:
Wrath of God
Cryptic Command (Lorwyn)
Reflecting Pool (Shadowmoor, reprinted from Tempest)
Thoughtsieze (Lorwyn)
Birds of Paradise
Mutavault (Morningtide)
Chameleon Colossus (Morningtide)
Bitterblossom (Morningtide)
Mystic Gate (Shadowmoor)
Sunken Ruins (Shadowmoor)
Metagames: Extended, Standard and Block just rotated a month ago, and Champs is coming up for Standard, so check back in a couple weeks for a better idea. Legacy and Vintage haven't changed a ton since Future Sight, except for Tarmogoyf's effect and a boost for Dredge decks out of Shards.
