I'm talking about the entire sub-category of "feel bad" rares, not just the Boss. Cards that make the players that open them feel like they threw money in the gutter have not been seen much since then.

they've been replaced with cards that you almost never see but when you open them it's like you won the lottery. for all the complaining that's gone on (mine included) i have to admit that's an improvement. although i have been known to like awful offensive rares, myself.

I guess I'll just agree to disagree with you two here.

personally i prefer the moonlaces and the one with nothings but i understand objectively that baneslayer is a better card to be a rare than they are. and if mythics didn't exist baneslayer probably wouldn't be so jacked up in price. the existence of mythics muddies the debate a bit but i think baneslayer as a regular rare would be preferred to a "crap" rare by most people.

I like my share of Johnny rares as well. But I think there is a limit to how narrow they should go. (They definitely don't want to do this in the days of smaller sets.) There are actually rares in Future Sight that were arguably worse than Steamflogger Boss, who does attack for 3.

plus he pumps and hastes up changelings. some of which, you know, are quite good.

I played against a few chageling decks online in the casual room online when Lorwyn first came out. they could have used the card if it wasn't 4 mana. My brother tried to make it work but he could never draw it before he had an army out.

Yes, that must be it. I like the inclusion of Crime/Punishment , it's a clever way of fiting 6 things in this week's cycle with only the usual 5 cards.

There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who know math and those who don’t.

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

since the split cards are 3 colors, they would HAVE to be split across guilds. since guilds are two colors. as far as i can tell from the pictures all the 3 color split cards from that block are split between two guilds.
