and Yes I have but also keep in mind they put thragtusk in two event decks, two copies of Stoneforge in one event deck which were at the time about 15 to 20 per, then of course there's the infamous Rat's nest theme deck from betrayers so don't say it isn't possible.
The thing is, though, Umezawa's Jitte, Stoneforge Mystic, and Thragtusk were all new or unreleased cards when WotC made the decision to put them in their respective event decks/theme decks. Nobody, not even the people at WotC, knew at the time just how valuable they would become. WotC didn't intend to have cards in those precons that were worth as much or more than the precons' MSRP. Those were all accidents.
Vindicate, on the other hand, has been out for over a decade. Everyone already knows that it's worth over twenty dollars, and that it's price has only gone up since its release.
The Izzet are schizotypal, the Azorius are obsessive-compulsive, the Gruul are paranoid, the Dimir are avoidant, the Orzhov are narcissistic, the Simic are schizoid, the Selesnya are dependent and histrionic, the Dimir are avoidant, and the Rakdos are antisocial.
The Rakdos really aren't antisocial, they're sociopathic. They do like socializing, it's just that their idea of a fun party involves a lot of bloodshed.
Guys, it's been days. Why has nobody commented on the fact that we finally got a Scootaloo-centric episode? Or the fact that Luna actually got to do something for once? Or the revelation that Luna has psychic dream-reading powers?
and who doesn't orient their deck sideways these days? It's so much more natural to draw from.
I don't. I grab the bottom edge of the card when drawing from my deck. And I'm not the only person I know who does that. Not everyone draws cards the same way.
Garruk is from Dominara, hands down, I'm 99% certain.
The Baloth in The Wild Son Part 2 is clearly an Enormous Baloth. The Baloth from Baloth Cage Trap is the next closest looking, but the peaceful farmland clearly isn't Zendikar.
Y'know, it is possible that Garruk is from a plane we haven't seen yet, one that also has a native baloth population. It's not as though we've had any indication that baloths are exclusive to Dominaria and Zendikar.
The bigger question is, how much mana does it take to unsummon a parasprite? And, does it take more mana for every parasprite you unsummon, or was Twilight using an Echoing Truth type effect, where it costs the same amount, regardless of how many you're unsummoning? 'Cause actually summoning parasprites is no problem; if you've got one (and something to feed it), then you've got a million. If Twi' can easily unsummon them all at the same time, then she can pretty easily weaponize them. Summon one in an enemy base, then leave and let it get to work reproducing and eating everything in sight. When the enemy surrenders, unsummon the resultant swarm.
In any case, it didn't seem to take Twi' very much effort to summon or unsummon the parasprite, so I stand by my statement of her current power level.
I think you're all forgetting the most important part of the episode. Twilight can summon and unsummon parasprites at will now. Pretty sure that makes her one of the most powerful beings on the planet by a large margin.

See? (Scroll down a bit.)

I know it's a thing.
I'm shaking my head at you for reminding me that it is, in fact, a thing.
Now I'm going to have to repress those memories all over again.
Really? That's a new one on me.
Why? There aren't any Rat Druids, besides the changelings. And it's not like the two tribes have any sort of synergy.
Seriously? Nothing? Not one post?
I don't. I grab the bottom edge of the card when drawing from my deck. And I'm not the only person I know who does that. Not everyone draws cards the same way.
Is it sad that I can name all of those cards, based solely on their tiny, blurry art?
And I didn't even play during Lorwyn.
Damia, Sage of Stone
Malfegor
Rhys the Redeemed
Sheoldred, Whispering One
Uril, the Miststalker
A general with proliferate would be cool, too. Experiment Kraj only fools around with +1/+1 counters, and that makes me sad.
Seton and Marrow-Gnawer not good enough for you, huh?
