@dogburn55@Aghi_1@Craig_Mack I think it came at the issue just fine. This card is not good, but if it were to see play anywhere it would be standard, which it is not legal in.
@yuri_detective@Mengu09@MeninooNey Bit of a work around, but if you draw it you can discard it with wistfullness, and then put it at the bottom of your deck with endurance.
Odds of drawing it are low, I think you keep some number of LE in anyways so theres still a plan to win.
@swff_mtg I think Phlage, specifically from Boros was stifling a lot of other fair midrange decks since it is difficult to beat on board and/or race. Time will tell.
@Auterhaus@fireshoes I did this at RC Milwaukee. My opponent Cruelclaw Heisted my Elegy Acolyte and played it. The get out was in my hand and everything.
@out0myrightmind@xalertnow Pad-mounted, low to the ground transformers are quite normal. Though it should have a proper enclosure to conceal energized parts.
Its hard to tell from the video, but it may even be enclosed properly. There may be a fault along the mounting structure, energizing it.
@xcblazeMtG The cool part is that initially I thought Day of Black Sun would make all the earthbent lands not come back since they lose abilities before they get destroyed (this would actually be interesting counterplay). However, the return portion of earthbending is a delayed trigger, fun!
@NordicRest@thebloodsower Do you understand how this card works? You don't have to discard anything. If you discard a land, it doesn't do anything. There are more reasons to keep cards in hand, like looting effects. The only reason to discard a land would be delerium, which isn't present in the set.
