I'unno if it's brilliant, but I'm pretty sure I came up with it on my own

Titans have run their course for sure.  In retrospect we wouldn't have reprinted them.  I do feel however that I'd rather make a mistake along those lines than a mistake along the lines of Mistbind Clique.

I'm curious why you insist on only supporting "completed" limited archetypes on MTGO.  This may not be the place to ask it, but given the topic of the article, I figured now was as good a time as any: how come we can't ever draft SoK, SoK, SoK, or other cool formats like that? And why are we so often left with mediocre formats that resulted from poor 3rd sets as the only way to draft that set online?

And with Nearheath Stalker, we made him fragile enough for the cost that the value of his two-for-one would be mitigated somewhat by the quality of the cards with which he profitably traded.



There are reasons to want to attack with a 4/1 rather than leaving it back on defense, but they have nothing to do with the quality of the cards with which it trades, unless you're talking about removal spells.  On defense, Nearheath Stalker trades with a 4/4 and a 5/5, which is a hugely profitable trade, whereas on offense, he can be blocked by much smaller creatures.

Still, if you're opponent attacks with a 1/1 or 2/2 and you really have to block, it's very bad.
