i usually take 1 revelation against aggro out, mostly because in turns 1-5 you need removal spells, goats and counters.... a sphinx's revelation in your opener is basically a mulligan if you are unable to cast it profitably.
Other guy: sure
M: trade invite-> take a look
O: accepts trade-> ho much are you valuing your temple garden?
M: X?
O: supernova says X-1?
M: How much for your stomping then?
O: Z?
M: take a look a find something else (Obviously trying to lowball me, but hell... let him take some commons).
O: (takes temple gaden + path to exile).
M: no way bro...
O: leaves trade.
Basically 5 minutes of my life wasted... which is more or less the same ammount of time i spent writing this post.
this reminds me of the puzzle to assemble jace the mindsculptor some years ago, when WotC mailed parts of the card to different stores worldwide and we had to build the puzzle with pieces from different languages.
And i am pretty sure it will end up being a "cheap" modern deck like affity or merlfolk... i wouldn't be surprised to see burn there, but clearly without all of the manabase.
Btw, I am completely sick and tired about people complaining about "investment" and "losing money" because of the reprints.
We are not "investing" here... we are playing with pieces of cardboard at very inflated prices, don't expect to feel like a winner after you spent $100s on cardboard.
If someone much more skilled at this game than you creates a new deck that raises the price of a 0.50 card to 10 it is ok, feel happy to sell... you did absolutely nothing to deserve that, but whatever, I would do it too (see splinter twin before the release of deceiver exarch)
If your card goes all the way down to nothing for whatever reason (Ban, rotation, deck gets hated out hard, reprint), please be a man and deal with it... as you don't control when a card is going up, neither you do when a card goes down.
Beyond being awesome in Fog...I think the structure of it is designed to make control cry.
How is this supposed to make control cry?
your +1 is pretty unusable there and you trying to push explores is pretty unlikely since you will need a lot of lands in hand to get it right, and a lot of lands in hand means that you kept a flooded hand or that you are flooding right now... both of them means that you are probably losing the game.
Dealing with a telegraphed 9/9 with control deck is not a real a challange BTW.
There are better and cheaper ways to draw a bunch of cards.
joraga warcaller is a beast i have a an aggro build that doesn't combo.
for me joraga warcaller is a complete wincon, most of the time they are going to deal with archdruid or heritage druid and then, BAM you put onto playa 5/5 joraga warcaller FTW.
But please, always play it to win the game in the same way you would play a craterhoof behemoth or an ezuri.
I live in Chile and we don't pay VAT on digital objets bought outside the country.
If i happen to redeem a set and it gets inspected (not all small packages get inspected) i would have to pay full VAT over declared value and some other customs, otherwise i can get away with it.
It happens a lot when we buy paper stuff from SCG and the like... anyway... we mostly buy from mtgmint since they declare like 10 bucks for every hundred.

Taking 2 seems too much though.

Just don't die until you get a finisher, that is my motto.
Learn your match ups and avoid using transformational sideboards and stuff.
Sideboard aggressively against aggro and control.
Keep in mind pro white/blue cards
Fill your sideboard with more answers not with more threats and upgrade accordingly.
current UW record 12-3
