LISTEN UP, SWAT-BOYS! I TOLD YOU THIS’D ALL GO A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT EASIER FOR EVERYONE IF YOU’D ONLY JUST BANG THAT BATTERING RAM IN TIME TO THE BEAT!!
RAL, WHERE THE HELL ARE THOSE “PARTY FAVORS” YOU PROMISED ME?!
Ral: Dude, I already told you, there’s no such thing as electro-Molotov cocktails. Not on this plane, or any other.
YOU UNHELPFUL BASTARD! AREN’T YOU AN ELECTROMANCER? FIGURE IT THE FUCK OUT! I GOT THE FBI BREATHING DOWN MY NECK!
Ral: You’ve also got a customer or two who’re waiting for this week’s column.
MOTHER-FUCKBALLS!! WHEN IT RAINS, IT REALLY SHITS ON MY FUN!
HELLO! As you can see, we’re a little busy at the moment. Being raided can be SUCH a hassle, amirite?! You know how it is, I’m sure! nehoo, c’mon in, siddown, stay away from the windows--wait, what am I saying? YOU stay NEAR the windows, I’LL stay away from them! Aren’t they nice windows?! Make sure to get up REAL CLOSE to them, get a good look at that excellent crown molding!
Ral: That’s not crown molding, dude. Crown molding doesn’t go on window frames. That’s just mold!
YOU COULD’VE TOLD ME THAT WHEN I WAS INSTALLING IT!
Ral: What the hell are you talking about, “installing it”? Do you mean when you were spraying down the windows with that old lady’s blood splatt--
SHTUM! SHTUM! The nice, inconvenient people don’t wanna hear about such unpleasantness, Ral. Where are your manners?!
Ral: I think you stuffed them into the body cavity of that guy back in Spokane.
{teeth clenched} I can just as easily finish that job!
Ral: Oh, sure. What’s another body? 5,689, was it?
I seem to remember you being quite happy to hold the knife back in Dublin. AND WHERE THE HELL IS TEFERI WITH OUR GETAWAY?!
Teferi: Not until you give these kind, innocent people what they came here for. This week’s column, remember that?
FINE! But could you please do something about those helicopters, they’re giving me such a headache!
Teferi: Oh, no. Freezing time is our getaway, and you get no part of that until after the column’s done!

HELLO! and welcome back to No Reservations II! When last we left, our tally was
Here’s the link to the complete Reserved List.
• 38 cards stay on The List.
• 48 cards reprinted in Standard.
• 22 cards reprinted in supplemental sets.
•44 cards artfully arranged as a commentary on the 38th Sura, like we did in Kota Bharu; you remember that, right Ral? Good times, good times.1
• And Dark Rit still belongs in Category 1.
This gives us a BSQ of 115/153, or 75.16339869281046%.
Teferi: You do realize you’ve just been summarizing Proust this whole time, right?
QUIET! Right, let’s get right on into Swann’s Way. I mean Tempest! No, wait, Legends!

Almost.

Teferi: just give me the time it’ll take you to do the tally & close out the article.
You sly, sneaky bastard. Ok, fine. Our tally so far:
• 40 cards stay on The Reserved List.
• 49 cards reprinted in Standard (with, in this episode, Thunder Spirit downgraded from to ).
• 2411 cards reprinted in supplemental sets
•50 cards taken out back and shot, repeatedly, until they’re pulp, then that pulp recycled into industrial single-ply toilet paper, because why should anything good come out of them?
• And Dark Ritual is still serving eight consecutive life sentences for crimes against The Mana System.
This gives us a BSQ of 124/164, or 75.(60975)repeating%.

As things like Fevered Visions and Sudden Impact have taught us anything, it’s that ’s hatred of having lots of cards in hand is so intense, it borders on the anti-intellectual. is all about doing, action, emptying your hand as fast as possible, because a slow opponent is a dead opponent. So to have a card that actively punishes ’s core strategy is troubling to say the least. It definitely sends mixed messages.
Sure, it can sometimes be good to have colors show other sides to themselves. Look at both AND in Kaladesh block. Cathartic Reunion in . and the Aetherborn in did more for the diversity of their colors, and for representation in the wider game at large, than WotC has done in years. And that’s a very definite good thing. But leave this more nuance fleshing out for later, once you’ve gotten down pat the basic tenets of the color pie philosophies.
All of this would’ve already been a Burnable offense, but Storm World is a World Enchantment as well, and the World supertype counts as two strikes: one strike for itself, and one strike for the fact that they’ll prolly never make a non-World version of the card.

The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale 39

Lookie here, we have our first non-bullshit card in a very long while!
Lands that don’t produce mana are a bit of a no-go for me. Yes, there’s always gonna be exceptions in our game, like Dark Depths (even though it was a mistake to make the counters go down instead of the usual up, it’s still an interesting enough design to be excused), but that just proves the rule: lands should either tap for or automatically produce mana, or reduce the cost of things.
Turn 1 Tabernacle is backbreakingly OP for 99.999% of creature decks to have to fight against. Turn 4 Magus is still powerful (hosing swarm decks in particular), but can be worked around.

Tetsuo Umezawa 23
Price
Sauce.3
Tetsuo, as a card, is an absolute mess. It’s an Archer, but its abilities seem more in line with an Assassin. It hates on Auras targeting itself, because reasons. It’s Grixis, but its abilities seem more Orzhov. And its activated ability costs too damn much, both numerically and chromatically.
Now, I never claimed to be Vorthos enough to track down any of the old novels and read them (I hear they’re mostly in the terrible to godawful range, where shit like Dan Brown, Twilight, and 50 Shades are at the bottom, in godawful), so I don’t know the whole Madara story. But, I do know, or at least I think I know, enough to wonder what the fuck were they smoking when they wrote it? Just the summary of the story reads like they used the popcorn method of writing, whereby you put a bunch of things (names, locations, actions, tropes, etc.) into a bag, shake it up, then pull something out at random.
It’s an absolute mess, but Tetsuo is important enough to the story, while also being close enough to being appropriately statted, that I feel comfortable letting him out into a Commander set, on a probationary basis.
