Great callback to Academy Rectum. Very powerful effect. Curious if it's good enough for Legacy. But iirc Rector is mainly played in Legacy for Omniscience, and there really aren't any build around PW decks in Legacy like that. Really cool card, though.

Academy Rector isn't good in Legacy anyway, this doesn't stand much of a chance.

I saw the "rector" on the title and my heart skipped a beat because I thought they made a functional reprint of the old one
Sweet card, can be. Easily cheated into play earlier and sacced
This one is probably Commander-only, specifically Superfriends. Much like how Academy Rector is mostly Commander, outside of Omniscience decks.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Is it just me or will alterists have a field day with this set? This rector is a nice homage to the old one, plus some new cards are interesting for edh, but man... the art on this card in partciular... I just can't stomach it, it's way too progressive for me.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
In my opinion the format in which Rector will shine is exactly Legacy. I'm thinking about some Deadguy Ale or Wb D&T shell, wherever Cabal Therapy is a thing anyway. Not really a Legacy player though.

A functional reprint would violate the reserved list just as much as an actual reprint, FYI.
I know but a man can dream...
Just making sure. There's an alarming number of people on these forums with no clue how the Reserved List works, and not enough sense to look it up before making wild speculation. But if you already know, then... naive optimism is preferable to stubborn ignorance.

If I wanted to be 100% accurate I'd say that I was hoping to see a card similar to rector's ability

Big Johnny.
(This is a joke.)
Damn near Academy Killed 'em.
Personally, I think this dude looks more like Christopher Walken. But...hey...you know, what do I know?
|| UW Jace, Vyn's Prodigy UW || UG Kenessos, Priest of Thassa (feat. Arixmethes) UG ||
Cards I still want to see created:
|| Olantin, Lost City || Pavios and Thanasis || Choryu ||
Thats like the theme of this entire set.
Cool cards, horrible artwork.

This will tutor a Karn like all the time if it can.
Boosting this out quickly doesnt seem to be worth it in constructed formats.

this is quite crazy, there are a ton of ways to cheat it in and kill it early game.... then you tutor Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker turn 2 or something
not saying that this dude is warping any metagames....
If hulk flash was still a thing, I`d gladly throw a couple of this on that deck.

Isn't everything, though?

On phasing:
is this a dude though? i thought it was an older woman. it reminds me of tina turner.

Considering that Nyx Fit exists, maybe!
Run value planeswalkers plus a copy of Ugin, the Spirit Dragon for maximum value?
