The murmurings of a possible new format coming down the pipeline seems more and more likely if we see more cards like this one. VERY convenient that this release is the 7th... a single day after the next major competitive play announcement... Sounds even more like JTMS getting unbanned convenient all over again. ROFL.

MTG Junky... First packs being a starter of each 4th Edition and Ice Age. Good Grief, I've been playing since 1995? Where does the time go!

this is mtgs, where occam's razor is so blunt it can't cut jello any more.
Isn't it a commandee staple, just like Life From the Loam? Do they need more reason than that to print them?
Because I really don't see them unbanning these cards anywhere, and a new format seems... eh, I don't know. Dig means it starts at Khans or earlier, and I feel pretty confident that they don't want fetches in their next format. Could be KTK onwards and fetches pre-banned I guess.

Cards like this will NEVER not break over time. Its just too good.
I really hope this doesn't devolve into a modern ban discussion, but I will point out one thing:
This card was banned with Treasure Cruise in Modern as a safety valve after treasure cruise completely destroyed the format. They banned this card as a pre caution incase this card just played the same role as cruise. Dig never had the time to really shine in modern. (I'm paraphrasing the Jan 2015 Ban Announcement)
Now it is possible that this COULD be unbanned. Again, I am only pointing out this out to why I think it was reprinted. (But I personally don;t think it will be unbanned and I think its stupid they reprinted this when its literally banned/ restricted in every eternal format)
And the worst rare of the set! It might not be worth the least, but at least you are ALLOWED to play with the rest if you so desire.
Depends what formats you play. If you play Commander, you can play this but not Karakas or Emrakul or Leovold - three mythics that are duds-for-some based on format legality.

You can also play one in Vintage if you like, it doesn't change my point. It's a $2 card that isn't good in Draft and it's only played by a very small number of people. I had a playset immediately after the ban. My LGS has a healthy number of people, 30s or so for Modern. We usually get 20 for EDH, I could not trade them away. 20 EDH players and not one wanted one. I know that's just one shop, but put it in a Commander set, not a $10+ booster Master set.

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Maybe a mass unbanning of Dredge and Delve is in the future.....otherwise whats the point of all these reprints

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

If so... what an uninspiring card to waste that on.

I hope we get a Long Term Plans as an Uncommon in this set.

Cards I still want to see created:

They did the same with Guilds of Ravnica and the picture of Vraska and her pet insect
