![]() ![]() Attune with Aether was never the best card in any of the decks that featured it, but it sure was the most important card in those decks. It made Aetherworks Marvel better, and helped out with Harnessed Lightning and Confiscation Coup. It supercharged Aether Hub, giving it the ability to produce any color of mana for a longer period of time. The Lay of the Land with energy upside made it easier to cast Rogue Refiner and Whirler Virtuoso while they were both in the same deck. Attune with Aether is a card I've missed casting for sometime now, since it was banned, but I am still allowed to talk about it now, as it was Brawl legal. I figured a cheap way to find the mana that you needed in a heavy multi-colored format would be important, and while I never got anywhere with Lay of the Land in my main deck, I've always liked this kind of spell. When Apocalypse was first released, I was positive that Lay of the Land was one of the best cards in the set. ![]() This week will be Kaladesh, next time will be Amonkhet, and you can find my thoughts about Aether Revolt and Hour of Devastation on Alas, it is not to be, and with the previews for Ravnica 3: The Cubening starting in earnest today, I wanted to look at cards that would be leaving the Standard and Brawl formats that I would miss playing with when rotation happens. #Mtg marionette master spell swindle combo pro#How many cards would have been banned if they were the oldest sets in the format? I bet the calls to give The Scarab God the axe after the first Pro Tour it dominated would have been deafening. That's fine I reckon, but still I wonder what could have been for Amonkhet and Hour. I was actually surprised to see that Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation were leaving, I figured that they would get two years of the format, but Hour of Devastation is going to get just a little more than a year of Standard play. We should be excited to see it, as well as Aether Revolt, Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation leave the format, but I feel like the last two sets did not get nearly enough time to shine, and well the former had to much time to shine. That is hyperbole, but the two years that Kaladesh was Standard legal felt like it lasted for nearly eight years. When it was first released, I am pretty sure I was still married and my son was sitting on my lap pointing to random cards in packs left for me to draft on MTGO. Kaladesh has been in Standard for what feels like forever. ![]()
