I was wondering when this would see a reprint. A little surprised every single guild with blue in it didn't come with a XUU counterspell, or it could just be me wanting Voidslime to finally get a reprint.

Disallow was printed not so long time ago.
I know, gold spells look cooler.
I love absorb in standard. I saw this card likr a year ago and thought "why cant we have this in standard?". Well, here we go!
I like that it's back after so many years, but I'd rather have had Undermine. Then with Countersquall, I could give Counterburn a new meaning in Modern.

Omg this is going to be a pain in the butt for standard... Might see play in modern, but 3 cmc counters are in a weird place there, it certainly wouldn't be a 4-of, but maybe a 2-of.

While it's true Disallow wasn't that long ago Voidslime really should have seen a reprint by now.
Pretty sure this card will see zero Modern play. Does anyone even play this in EDH? Undermine is a better card and it sees little to no play either far as I know.
Am I crazy and this is actually good enough for Modern?

I read the flavor text of Undermine and immediately went "Well, technically if we go by the spell Insult // Injury, the Insult has to come first without being discarded..."

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.

No, I agree. Modern has access to a slew of Cancels with upside and none of them sees play. I don't think this is so incredibly much better than the others that it's going to change anything.
But if anything, it's better in Modern than EDH. Who cares about 3 life points in EDH?

I think it's unlikely that we get another rare gold cycle. As it stands, it looks like we're already getting a cycle of Ascendancies (I seriously doubt Simic Ascendancy is the only one) and Gruul already got a gold rare that is neither an Ascendancy nor an XXY card.
Absorb looks like an interesting addition to standard Azorius-based decks. I'm kinda glad it's costed so intensively. Ionize is annoying as it is.

Simic Ascendancy is an individual card that shares a name with a past cycle, which is anything but the confirmation of being a cycle that you think it is.

It's certainly not confirmed, but it would be pretty weird for it to be an individual card. They could have called it "Experimental Progression" or "Biomancer's Will" or anything in the world. Instead they kept the naming convention [faction] ascendancy. Not to mention how much Undercity Uprising looks like repurposed ascendancy art. My guess is a cycle of five ascendancies, but they may do something plot based, and only ascend a two or three guilds. An individual card seems rather unlikely.

but this won't make it see play anywhere except standard/kitchen tables. don't fool yourselves.
while its not going to be the greatest thing to open in a pack, i'll never really complain about it because it is so useful at the kitchen table.
edit: the art also sucks. it achieves what it needs to... but it looks so... simple and dumb
