If you control a swamp, you may pay 5 life rather than pay Oppress's mana cost.
Target opponent reveals his or her hand. You choose a noncreature, nonland card from it. That player discards that card. "Hatred pays back as much as you invest in it."

Contests aren't priority right now, so they will stay in recess by the moment (we're working on other stuff right now). Still, when these come back (they will), we want to mantain them as a monthly thing. There's a high chance of them to be as described in post #180.

I know you mean something different than this, but it's awfully disconcerting to see "fixed" and "Genesis Hydra" in the same sentence. The card combines elements of cascade and uncounter-ability to putting a permanent into play. While it's probably true that a big green X spell in the core set makes another big green X spell unlikely, I...wouldn't use the word "fixed."
With that therm, I meant WotC may be saying something in the line of: "Yes, we're bringing back convoke. No, we're not bringing back Chord of Calling. But you know what? We're going to give you something similar. Something that abides much better to our current power level line and that also fits much better in our thought of making everything a creature if posible."
Of course those cards aren't the same story, but both of them does put a permanent form your library by paying X mana, at Green. And yes, I meant exaclty what you said: Two big X spells with similar effects at the same core set doesn't seem very likely. Perhaps, "fixed" wasn't an accurate therm to represent my thoughts, but it seems that I've used it good enough to sugest that I didn't wanted to use it for it's regular meaning, but more like a metaphora. Still, thanks for your comments
