With U/B coming out in gatecrash this card seems like a good addition to this meta and allow more copies to exist. Any thoughts on a print of this card either in Gatecrash or Dragon's Maze?
It's still not colorless, and has no color. That's a paradox. So either you're a Zen master or an idiot, I'll assume the Zen master for sake of argument. This card will have no paradoxes because it has a clear paradox. Deep stuff man.
There was probably some amount of hyperbole in pyro's statement, but the fact remains that Baleful Strixis pretty strong. Too strong for Standard/Modern? That remains to be seen, and probably won't be something to worry about for a while, if ever.
Anyway, Baleful Strix is definitely an Esper-themed card, so I'd expect to see it if we ever see a return to Alara. Failing that, it's likely to see a reprint in a future Commander product.
plus it's like absurdly powerful, definitely not something they want in modern
Thanks to Rivenor for the signature and XenoNinja for the Avi!
Quotes:
It isn't that good in modern, since there isn't Goblin Wielder to recur it. Does it even see play in legacy?

Absurdly powerful? really?
"Ridiculously unreasonably" powerful
What a ridiculous overstatement

Commander/EDH Decks:
BRG The Blood of Jund - Kresh the Bloodbraided BRG
WR The Blades of Goldnight - Gisela, Blade of Goldnight WR
It sees legacy play in Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas mainly.
I have also seen it in a BUG deck that was pretty focused on Unearth, Snapcaster Mage, Tarmogoyf and Liliana of the Veil.
