Geez...You're complaining about this at COMMON?!
Instant speed and leaves behind a treasure.
Perhaps budget Daretti Commander players can put this to use.
Just be glad they didn't print demolish instead!
That's all some spoiled Magic players deserve.
There was a time in Magic when a one pip red bear with first strike alone was enough to justify a Rare printing...
Exactly. The spoiled kids of today have never had the pleasure (or more accurately, experience) of opening chaoslace as their rare, or having to play with a gray ogre or hurloon minotaur in their decks in the absence of more summons! Honestly, if I was thirteen again and opened this back then I'd be thrilled!
I like Sakashima’s Protege more than Sakashima herself (himself?)
In its truest form, Sakashima is gender-neutral and species-fluid.
It can be anything it wants to be, even another unique, legendary creature.
Failing the role of the imposter, Sakashima is a 3/1 vanilla whose intent is to strip away the unique identities of others who can't change who they are as easily, making them easier to impersonate.
Mechanically, Sakashima and the protege are good, and I've already ordered my foils before the price jump.
Any serious commander player should probably do the same and lock them in at the earliest available opportunity.
Sakashima will be great to pair with several partners, including those in the future, and first prints will be worth a lot more than you can get them at now. Yes, the same could be said about many new cards as they enter the meta and establish themselves, but this starting in the command zone with another tool and thinning the deck to 98 makes a big difference on its own. What better way to improve your opening hand than filter out a card and start with an extra clone at your disposal? I'm certainly not an expert, but in my opinion this card in commander borders on what Lurrus' power level was in standard before companions were hosed and the new tax was implemented.
I'm always happy to see new cards like this and Archon of Emeria get printed and I'll be getting at least one foil for sure.
The game has become so fast-paced that it needs occasional self-correcting mechanisms to keep certain opposing decks and ramp strategies in check. This turtle is less oppressive than Grand Arbiter, won't draw as much removal, and will likely be more fun to pilot.
This is the Terrible rare that I will crack in all my packs
Why buy packs (or boxes) if that's your defeatist prediction?
Why not simply target the singles you actually need (or want) and only purchase those online?
Perhaps to encourage migration to the new domain, any user who had an account here should be given a "Legendary", "Legacy", or "Vintage" user account upon signing up for added prestige depending on how many years they were active or posts they had.

Unless you meant specifically for Standard or common rarity, this technically isn't news.
How quickly some of us forget...

Numa is female?
Every time I see this card I think of Tuvok (Tim Russ) in Star Trek Voyager!
Both cards are great at uncommon
I preordered foils
Oracle Errata Needed
Thanks in advance!

extendedzoomed-in arts lose flavor texts.When a card like sol ring obviously has plenty of room for it, why not include it?
