WTF Training Grounds
the +1/+1 counters are almost a side note, but they're a REALY GOOD side note

if I pull one of these I don't care what other colors I was previously playing. I'm putting in three islands and playing this guy.

I mean seriously, draw a card AND put a +1/+1 counter?!

This is a beautiful finisher for control decks, which are pretty much the only decks that will run enough blue to play this guy. I see a casual all-blue Training Grounds deck here. Who knows, maybe it'll work in tournaments as well.

Going in my Grixis Control deck to replace Sphinx of Lost Truths as my draw engine. Draw a card AND pump my creature for 1 more than kicking Lost Truths? YES PLEASE!

Amazing fatty flier. Is this what we get when everyone complains about blue being shafted?

I love this guy, favorite card from RoE (and maybe even Zendikar block as a whole).
Pulled together a Training Grounds deck with this as the main wincon...Filigree Sages+Training Grounds+Khalni Gem gives infinite mana, if I have a Sphinx out I play my entire deck at once. Wait a turn, Deprive or (oh yeah, they reprinted this) Mana Leak their Day of Judgment, and win.

Granted, I could have just played him without the infinite mana combo, he's certainly good enough as he is...but playing my whole deck at once is so satisfying.

MUC is back!

I love it. In the same set as Training Grounds. You draw cards while pumping up an already aggressively priced beat stick.

Sphinxes are really claiming the FATTY spot for mono blue. Like most all the other Sphinx before it, Wonderful.
