Um...holy **** Nantuko Shade.

Nantuko Shade gets reprinted! HOT! So Hot!

These are the two cards shown today:

They didn't....they friggin reprinted Nantuko Shade?!?!

MBA here i come, lulz.....Now all we need is Bob or Ritual and we're set.
5/5s indestructables for 3, 6/6 flyers for 4, and now this......Wow.

Holy ☺☺☺☺ Natuko Shade.

I really wish they would have printed a new shade. Nantuko shade seems kind of overcosted, or has too many colored mana symbols on it. The scryer is your typical black sac-outlet.

O.O!

^^the only appropriate response.

Nantuko Shade?!
:D:D:D
I didn't see this coming. Now I'm excited.

I have lost all manner of coherent response.

Nantuko Shade. wtfsrsly.

I don't know what you're thinking about, but Nantuko Shade is perfectly costed. You expect it to cost what, B? For a 2/1 that has already defined formats?

Glad to see it back, though. Looks like Wizards is making sure to keep the black as well as the blue mages happy.

Man, could they have spoiled a less exciting black card next to freakin' Nantuko Shade. Intentional?

SHADE?! Oh ☺☺☺☺ yesssssssss.

HOLY **** ON A ****ing ****ich!

Nantuko shade?

Time for some Suicide black action ?

Nantuko... effing... shade.

Is it just me, or could BG be pretty nice? Omnath, Locus of Mana to gobble up excess green mana, and Nantuko Shade to gobble up the back.

Finally, they reprint a good shade!

Shade is a huge shock. I just never expected them to reprint it.

Regardless, cool! One of my favorite beaters.

I literally through up my arms in excitement. I never got a chance to play it way back when and it's a freaking ten dollar card right now.

Will it be good in Standard? Time will tell but I'm definitely buying two boxes now.

Nantuko Shade in Standard?!?!? So cool. Perhaps I'll build MBC after I finish my Merfolk project.

I seriously went O.o at Nantuko Shade. Completely blindsided by that.

Power level aside, this is just after they got rid of Nantuko Husk for being "not generic enough..."

Fantastic reprint in Nantuko Shade. Now the newer players who never really experienced this beast of a creature back in the days of Odyssey block will get to do so this upcoming season.

Nantuko Shade is the best shade ever printed.

All the other shades are the ones that are overcosted.

Having played MBC in Odyssey/Onslaught-Standard, I became well aware of this fact quickly.

People have been asking for a Shade reprint for a long time. Nice to see it back.

shade is ok, not good with a meta full of jund, uw and mythic. And the vamp sucks.

Cool. (I didn't play back when this guy was released, but I've seen enough play with him to respect the Shade)

Pretty cool, to say the least. Definitely necessary though, black felt like it was getting the shaft so far.
