We were just talking about this at FNM. Would goyf warp standard if reprinted now? Sure seems with all the graveyard hate goyfs return could be upon us.
With anything but Timespiral cycling out of Extended, could this be an attempt to keep Leyline of the Void in Extended to keep Goyf chained, while still allowing for the return of Mill as a possible kill condition in Standard after Eldrazi stepped all over it?
I actually like this reprint. Too bad they couldn't think of something original for Black...

The black leyline was the only one that saw play in any format other than standard, true, but back in Ravnica-legal standard, the green one made it's way into a great deal of sideboards, and the blue one had an entire deck built around it.
Still, I'm glad this one's returning, it's always such a nice option.
Then I suppose it's possible that this one is real. I had thought it bizarre that the new set would have a cycle of five Leylines, one of which is a reprint, but the fact you cite is the one good excuse for that.
It's still pretty unprecedented, though, for a new cycle to include some, but not all, members of an old cycle. Of course, it takes the new-style Core Set to even make that possible.
Hello Time Revesial's best friend. I have been racking my brain tring to figure out how TR can be broken ever sense I saw it spoiled weeks ago. NOW we have a winner. I remeber how devastating this thing has been in Extended and in Standard back in the day. True the Graveyard matters type decks are not going to be around but with stuff like Vengvine and Bloodgast still around this thing is very very improtant. Reananamater decks just quit with this guy and the new SotF Elf will become a less broken player with this thing in the opening hand. Tie that in withthe Blue Leyline and you are looking at a crazy UB control format again (Yeah control is back) I am a permition control player at heart and I hate playing on my turn, so the more I can "draw Go" the happier I am. I am so glad that the Combo and (true) contropl decks are finally getting some love again. WotC You have made me a Very happy camper with this Core set, now i just hope you accualy print it like a core set, instead of like an expantion set where it can not be found any where and cost like $150 for a box( that really sucked)

For the Love of God play Wrath already!!!...... What your playing green Well then Play.......
It's an awesome card, but I'm not really afraid of facing it because until it's a tier 1 deck no one at my shop will play it. Yeah, every single one netdecks. Long live Vengey.
This is easily the best Leyline out of the set.
It's sad most of the new ones aren't going to see any play just like the old
ones didn't the first time Leyline of the Void was released

There is a precedent.
That's an interesting precedent, but it's not a precedent for printing a new cycle of cards based on an old cycle except for one reprint.

I mean, the color that has more interaction with graveyards is black, but this card shutdown graveyards decks.

I guess they must have really been scared of Vengevine.
