The sheer amount of reminder text on this card amuses me.

I'm definitely buying this reprint. The art is so good.

Wizards saw that Jund decks were dominating, so they decided to ban the most affordable card in the deck. :/ why does wizards always pander to collectors? just grow a pair and ban dark confidant and tarmogoyf already!

Yeah, love the new art, never stopped loving the card. I don't care how many abilities and keywords they come out with - Infect, Miracle, Hexproof, Whatever... Haste will always be the best.
Hate the lack of black border on gatherer though, what gives ?

I still hate that this never wound up being a warrior, it would have been crazy in a warior deck; it curves in nicely right after Obsidan Battle-Axe and cascades into other hastey warriors like Boggart Ram-Gang. Add a Bramblewood Paragon and you'd have had yourself one hell of a party.

Bloodbraid Elf is now banned in Modern. This is a minimal blow to the Jund decks, and only more proof of how stupid that deck is. :)
(This is a bit like banning Squadron Hawk in Caw-Blade. Except there's no specific Jace, the Mind Sculptor card to ban off the top of my head. Any 56 cards in the deck are kind of the "Jace Card" of it when put together, with the last 4 looking "Ban-worthy" when you use them with those 56. Jund is deliciously dumb. ^_^

Also, Wizards pretty much has to pander to collectors in some ways- yes it's technically 'popular' right now- really stinking popular actually- but MTG has a pretty huge turnover rate of players. They gain new players but they also lose new and old players and a lot of their money comes from Old Players building and saving for their Legacy and Commander careers. So they aren't going to be making the most careful choices for Modern and Standard because they pretty much know at this point that Legacy and Commander are what they want players to be playing if they actually want really Returning Customers.
They make a big deal about Standard and Modern, but it's as much for getting Old Players to try New cards as it is to get New Players to play at all. If they really thought they could work on Modern and Standard being their Best Formats, and having that Actually Work, they'd...well, they'd plain Stahp making Legacy-playables. They keep makin' em though. Just enough to keep us all on our... (see all)

I really wish that I could have played with her now that she is banned. I shouldnt really be complaining because now my RDW deck will be better.

The best thing I've done in Magic is Bloodbraid to Violent Outburst to Lightning Bolt.

Brahoken card. As a rule of thumb any card that gets more then a 4.7 on gatherer is broken and I give it an 0.5 for poor balancing
