But it was ridiculously good, it probably should have been pushed less (eg. being red not blue) even as a top-tier card, but wizards understandably didn't want to risk making an invitational card suck.<br /><br />I think that's what axx1e meant. Or should have meant IMHO :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-50051252642876575742013-07-26T02:35:31.597-04:002013-07-26T02:35:31.597-04:00Recropotance RRR
