To be honest, I don't really want to see it reprinted yet again. A new functional reprint would be preferable, and seems more likely to my mind.

how about a new, IN flavor reprint? A small flying creature really IS NOT something green should have, color pie wise. noble hierarch and DRT are very good examples of 1cc fixers for green. honestly, i think a regular 1/1 with T: make 1 of any color would be fine to print and continue to print. wotc would probably want to give it a drawback, maybe make an opp gain 1 life?

its not that bad, is it? in magic's early days green had fliers and most of them made sense. killer bees and scryb sprites were cool.

This. Killer Bees and Carrion Ants were 2 of my favorite cards back in the day.

sure, and blue had direct damage (psi blast, prodigal sorcerer). but that doesnt make sense now. White, blue, sometimes black get cheap fliers. green gets the biggest 1-3cc ground pounders. it's time to make an updated mana dude, that they can keep printing.

BoP is iconic, and I wouldn't mind seeing it being reprinted.

wild-ravager starts a thread about BoPs, after he is the last to post in this BoP thread...lol

I still think they should be brought back.

IMO, due to them printing another version of llanowar elves in M14, I don't see them reprinting either one of them. The 'old' cards to WotC are just that. Old. Outdated and unexciting to newer people coming in. At least that's how I see it, or they'd continue the 1/2 reprints 1/2 new cards in base sets.

Edit - to answer the OP, I'd love to see a reprint of BoP. It's not overpowered. Not once when the card was standard legal did I ever say OMG I need to send a DD to that before it ramps them way too fast. Usually, if they were running 4, the ONLY time you want it is opening draw with a forest to play it

they need to make a version with kicker, so that late game its not as bad.

Then again, reprint some Auras like Moldervine cloak or an Enchantment like Fires and we're talking business.

It doesn't rotate until October... sell/trade some of the stuff that's going out to cover the new stuff you'll need? You're on a trading website right now as a matter of fact.
