it says Thrun, the last troll can't be countered.

then is just says Regenerate Thrun.

would there be a special reason why they would just call him Thrun?>

First off if it had an activation cost of 2 it would be a limited BOMB. Do you know how good millstone was in draft? This would be like Millstone on crack. Secondly, it's not the worst rare we've seen. In fact this set pretty much has rares that can all be used in some format or another. I don't know why your being such a whiney bitch? Like I said this set is pretty darn good for draft, EDH, and constructed. What the hell else do you want? Each rare seems like it can serve a purpose, there isn't Moonlace or some other form of garbag that will NEVER see play. Seriously, take a look again at the spoiler list....it's not a bad set at all, it's quite good.

First thing first, please learn to read before chastising anyone else. Never did I say that this set would be garbage. I was pointing out that I didn't understand why there are rares that would be playable yet still not be good even if they lowered the cost either the mana cost or activation cost. They do this every set and I was wondering if anyone had a good theory or knowledge of the situation. You clearly had no idea, but I guess you are very good at posting nothing.

Even at an activation cost of 4 this card can mill out your opponent in 5 turns(in sealed). So a card that he thinks sucks is a 5 turn clock win, and you don't need to attack. Not to mention it's a way to push through those extra poison counters if your infect deck runs out of gas...which happens often. He just doesn't know how to evaluate cards....or he got sand in his diaper. The card is fine.

Secondly, do an actual draft before "stating your opinion." OMG, a LIMITED BOMB! Wizards would never print those!!!! This is an artifact set, with artifact hate...lots of it. Has anyone dropped a baneslayer against you? Masticore? Behemoth sludge? Or even wall of reverence. There are a lot of cards that will win games by themselves, some in sets with very little answers to them.

In limited the web is not the worse thing in the world if it has synergy with the rest of your deck, even if the activation cost 2 it still wouldn't be a monster like what I listed above.

And I hate it when newbies call things x turn clocks and have no idea what they are talking about. If you have to spend 4 mana a turn for 5 turns activating the thing, you are not doing much else. So yes, if you get 5 activations, you have won, but if you can get away with activating it 5 times, your deck was in pretty good shape anyway or you opponent really sucks (which I think happens alot in your case).

Oh no! They keep making worse and worse sets, right? You sound like your lost...let me help you find your way home.

These salvation links are getting old, every time there's a disagreement somebody has to do it. The set overall has gotten much better since the days of Mercadian, if you want me to start telling you how great I think Tez 2.0 is and how I just pre-ordered green sun's zenith, you can send a request to my personal email, fc@kismiculo.vas2Hel

Because all 20 of the first lands were Mirran. I assume these next 10 will show phyrexian influence on the land.

Why not? It's pretty boring to get the same lands for three sets, so maybe they're going to have new lands for each set now. I'm definitely not against it.

Maybe that's where all the MPR money is going, lol.

Ok, what ticked me off was when I misread the card distant memories. I thought I got to choose if I wanted to concentrate or diabolic tutor, and I thought to myself, wow that's really good, but the wording is a little funny. Then I read it again and it turned out that your opponent actually got to choose. So now the card is worse than both and worse than most commons. Would it have been that insane if the card gave you the option to choose rather than your opponent? I don't think it would really effect legacy, but it would be quite good in standard yet still not be ridiculous like other cards.

A crap rare can go up quickly as well. See Prismatic Omen.
