I find it funny they immediately added Shimmering Grotto to the spoiler. it was the only card that made sense based on the last lines of the article (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ld/159) but it took a minute before I figured that out lol.

That's ridiculous, I was trying to get a playset so I can make a fun deck with them. But now I guess all the offers I made seem to be "rip off" offers. The "combo" is absolutely horrible and I can't believe people are paying this much money for levelers
lesson learned: always trade good rares for bulk rares

Thought lash is way better than leveler anyway. it's blue, an enchantment, does a little more than exile your library, comboed with lantern of insight you can draw any card in your deck whenever you draw a card, and is cheaper to play.Don't tell anyone cause it's only 20 cents now. I would like to try it out, but it's not better than Hive mind.

Haha nice. That does work like 500 times better. Though it looks like people already figured it out: http://sales.starcitygames.com/cardsearch.php?singlesearch=thought+lash

So with Thought Lash I can cast it, then immediately draw my library to prevent X damage (kind of like a regeneration shield move). Meaning I don't have to wait for upkeeps, right? ~MM __________________ I am MeddlingMage...YOUR Motl Survivor 11 Champion, 2007 Captain N award winner, 2010 Marlboro award winner, and 2011 Champion Tournament Pick'em MOTL NCAA Bracket Challenge winner!CM Punk "OMG Kevin Nash WTF, thought he was dead, LOL" New keeper of the Logout button

You still need to draw a card somehow (Thought Lash exiles cards), but yeah.

U got to run lantern cause you can get any card you need with it if you have to draw something with Thought Lash on the field.Maybe take out street wraith and add probe cause you need a free draw after you play new guy and thought lash. You can even take out force of will and put in thwart I think. Here it is you can buy 34 at 19 cents if you want http://findmagiccards.com/Cards/AL/Thought_Lash.html

Costing 3 and still being conditional is much too much for legacy. Bolt sees little enough play as is, paying 2 more situationally deal 2 more won't cut it. Modern, not unless the format changes.__________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

Standard will still have - Shock -unplayed Incinerate Galvanic Blast Volt Charge -unplayed atm Artillarize -unplayed Chandra's Outrage -unplayed Goblin Grenade Concussive bolt -unplayed Fireball and other X spells -unplayedAnd now whatever this is called. I think its fine, but i dont see it being 'insane' by any means. Generally, you want burn to be cheap so you can kill the cheap creatures you're opponent is playing/just kill your opponent. I have a feeling Incinerate and Volt Charge will be more played than this one in constructed. House in limited though, not even fair, pretty much always doing 5. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

Not even sarcasm. I can't tell you how many times this has randomly worked over the years. Worked with legacy, worked with EDH, and now it's working with Modern.
