Did you ever look at a card and say, "That card's just ok." The people who heard you say it implicitly agreed by their silence. Then time goes by, and somebody decides that card should be potential tournament material instead? Say, for example, a card like Architects of Will?



I reviewed Architects of Will in FI: Alara Reborn Naya/UB, where I didn't have anything bad to say about...

However, its not these cards that I want to talk about. Yes, I still want to own four of each of them, but there are other cards that tickle my fancy. The first of which is Unx, Lich Lord:...
