Actually, that's exactly what it means!Quote from jackad7 »Quote from jace19 »why the heck is Push not dropping yet? there will be PLENTY to go around as long as the set is in print, it's an uncommon, in the neighborhood of $5 all they people willing to pay that should already have their copies, it should be freefalling by now, how long can it possibly take before the market is flooded with them?
Just because it is an uncommon doesn't mean there are a lot of them.
The set just hasn't been opened enough yet to meet demand. Wait a month.

it's not strictly better than Austere. Austere makes it so you can play around your own creatures, and it destroys for death and grave effects

'Oh, you liked Kamigawa block, set in feudal Japan, with all of the ancient feeling and traditional stuff? Did you like the old school samurai and a world where science had no power because of nature spirits? Well you are going to LOVE this new Kamigawa, looking more stylized and over the top advanced than when Tokyo laid it on really thick for the Olympics!'

Also Golos is an odd choice, especially as Thanos, right? And just for a reprint in general, I'm not crazy?

I definitely see her helping in Crimson Vow, but less of a redemption arc. I don't think she really was shown to need redeeming in the first place. She did something Avacyn didn't like, but Avacyn was not infallible, Avacyn was blinded by the drive to wipe out the darkness without compromise, Leisa had the same goal of bringing goodness, she just tried to be smarter about it.

I strongly disagree on your take. Rule 0 is fine if you keep playing with only the same 8 people, or if you have the resources to build a number of decks. But Golos was popular with new players because he's so flexible and easy to build. New players, who may just be trying the game, who don't have access to a metric buttload of cards like the more experienced players do.
You're a new player. You see Golos, which is super Timmy. You build him, using your lunch money to buy cards and sleeves. You bring him to the large, successful LGS down the street, eager to play. You grab a seat in an open group....and because it's a setting where you sit where there is room instead of it being 'your group' they adhere to the official banlist to keep things consistent. So that first deck can't be played, Timmy does not have a deck of his own, because too many people liked playing the card, not because it was too strong.
The question is this, does Timmy go through the process of trading and buying his way to another deck before he can play again, or does Timmy go play a different game?
When I am playing with my small group of friends who get together every few weeks, we have no problem with Golos or Nephilim or something like that. But the rest of the time, I'm at the LGS, playing with people I don't know, or don't know well as often as I can get a seat with friends. Now I have been playing since Rise of the Eldrazi, grabbing a different deck is not an issue for me. But Golos specifically was extremely popular with new players just getting in.

I think doing it this way keeps it from being rare and gives it better flavor. no reason to give toughness to the tribe that is supposed to die
