Goes to show how out-of-touch I've been with MTG lately, taking care of many personal health issues. Have been impressed with how well you continue the format and update the blog quite regularly. It seems you listen to the players, too, on the PDCMagic.com forums- well done! Have you considered addressing WotC regarding the power creep of Self-Assembler left unchecked in (now defunct Standard) pauper metagame? It seems its rise to power went unnoticed by R&D since they don't have to consider the Standard Pauper impact. Please continue to write- I enjoy the window you open into MTGO and other topics. Please write more, too, as it seems to be a passion of yours!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683449111727669668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866129634658205665.post-66673103449394596012016-12-08T14:41:20.799-05:002016-12-08T14:41:20.799-05:00Lotus Petal isn't legal in Standard, so no iss...Lotus Petal isn't legal in Standard, so no issue there (none the special Inventions are legal for Standard). Terrain Elemental hasn't seen any play and isn't anything special. Flame Lash is definitely a strong card, and it's a shame that it isn't widely available at a reasonable price. But it's not so good that it's worth banning. You can play a very competitive Izzet or Burn or Red Control deck without it.gwynedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485618352600615066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866129634658205665.post-66929720502426102702016-12-08T14:37:21.115-05:002016-12-08T14:37:21.115-05:00Since Lotus Petal was printed as a common in Tempe...Since Lotus Petal was printed as a common in Tempest, and it reappears in Kaladesh, is it available for Standard Pauper (despite its extraordinary price value as now Invention/Mythic Rare)? Are the comparatively expensive Terrain Elementals and Flame Lashes still okay in this format, or will they get a closer look at restrictions/bannings/etc.?
