MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to.

Stop doing this.

Gruul - Col and Thr
Orzhov - Con and Rev
Simic - Inc and Rep (err...Incongruity is currently mispelled as Incongrurity in the database)

Rakdos: LOL that's cute. Now entertain me.
