Turn 2 Ulamog with a lotta luck and some heavy mulligans for TT and TC in your opening hand. Exile 2 permanents on Ulamog cast. Can whiff if it hits another TT.
so why would you want Paper versions of cards you can already obtain on MTG Arena when you can't really use them other than for EDH / Commander and maybe Pioneer?
Because some of us play for fun in person with family and friends and don't rely on outside bodies to schedule events so we can have "organized fun". And some of us actually prefer REAL physical cards that aren't 0's and 1's that could be taken away at anytime by WotC for whatever reason.
Kinda has pseudo-Thoughtseize protection. If opponent has you discard it turn one on the play you can at least get a token Swamp for your loss of a card.
I suppose maybe in Standard. Doesn't look good for Pioneer, Modern and Legacy unless you are playing a massive lifegain deck. Just seems really narrow and like it could be dropped to uncommon.
Not sure if my Pioneer UW Fliers deck wants this or not. If it were 2 bird tokens I would go for it. But at one it seems like there are better things for my deck to do on turn 3 with 3 mana. Pulling a card from the sideboard is tempting. Maybe I can work it into my SB.
I can see why they waited until towards the end on this one. A waste of a rare slot in my opinion. Should have been downshifted to uncommon AND dropped to 3 cmc. Seems like a "win-more" card for constructed (not counting EDH).

Pros and Cons? Discuss.
Will be swapping RoM for ST in my Pioneer Bogles deck.

Real>Virtual in my book always and forever.
Edited by me:
Good question, not sure of the answer.
For those oldies out there like me.
Need my playset NOW!!!
Remember all creatures are Gods with Maskwood Nexus out. You can skip the middle step that way. Oh and Changelings skip that step as well.
