Today, Mark talks about how Time Spiral Remastered was created. He also talks about how Sprout Swarm was almost printed at mythic (before being kicked out of the set because 14 years later it still ruins any Time Spiral draft it's in).
(Oh look, a mythic that's actually worth something. Watch people get mad in this thread about it.)
And we should complain. It shouldn't be a mythic. I knew it would be, but it shouldn't.
And yes old border Thoughtseize is sweet.
I wish WOTC would hear when so far in complete unison it seems every comment is about how great the old border is. Yeah we old schoolers already knew that, they are the best, always were, and will always be. They should just go back.

Holy ***** they cut my favorite card from the set. No Sprout Swarm?!?!?!
Damn it MaRo why not just print it at uncommon it's not that good. This is a different draft environment! It needs a reprint! I'll never forgive them for this tragedy.
Sprout Swarm is one of my favorite cards ever and really helped the Saproling deck during this Era actually take off. It makes me so mad they did this.

I'm surprised they even considered it. You can easily win games with just one, and usually people had two. Sprout Swarm will effortlessly hand you all the victories in Time Spiral Limited.

Sprout Swarm is green. If it's in the set then they'll reveal it on Wednesday if I remember the schedule properly.

damnation at mythic feels bad and unnecessary. its not the powerhouse black boardsweeper it once was and this is already going to be a difficult to obtain more expensive product, so... yeah

Hell even at rare it could have been fine. I'm sure there is something else janky in green they could have subbed it for.
I'm a bit puzzled that people are complaining about Damnation at mythic. To me, I'd say it's the most mythic-worthy card after Tarmogoyf. After all, this set was not designed with mythic rarity in mind, and placing something like Crovax at mythic is a feel-bad joke.
Of course Damnation shouldn't be mythic. That's not what mythics look like. In fact, they shouldn't even use mythic rarity in the set. There's no use for it. It serves zero purpose, and forces a later idea in where it doesn't belong. Of course I'd be happier if mythic rare never existed. But it certainly shouldn't exist here.
Regardless, I don't actually care if it's mythic. So long as the price starts to trend downwards.

I for one will be happy to crack a Damnation.
It's never been a mythic, even in sets with Mythic. Wrath or other board wipes are never mytic. Another WOTC joke of a cash grab.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

I disagree with you, but thank you for thinking your complaint all the way through. There is no better candidate for a mythic upgrade than Damnation (except Tarmogoyf), so the only realistic options are Damnation at mythic or no mythics at all. I'm not sure how the printing math would all work out, but I'm sure we agree that Crovax at mythic is just dumb.
Please, mill me. Mill my important cards. Mill my lands. Mill it all. Because I will still deal 20 damage before you can mill 45 cards most every time.

When has Damnation or Wrath been printed at Mythic?
The only answer is Wrath in FTV, but all cards in FTV are marked as mythic. There is no reason to bump it here except money grab. Pick another card and put it in the mythic slot, easy as that.

Spoiler EditorDamnation at Mythic is quite a slap in the face, and no old-border Damnation is kinda sad.
The more i see the old-border, the more i want the entire set to be old-border.
Its just looks better on absolutely any card (and especially in foil).

I think it's also because black usually doesn't get mass removal without some sort of tradeoff affiliated with it.
