Great primer! This needs Mentor and Deck Tech tags.

@mdkubiak

I could for sure be wrong about who played that list.
The great thing about it was that a turn one oath was great against shops and delver. The defense grids were really good against delver and mentor and the helm + leyline was great against unfair decks. I swapped out the helms for serum powders and went all in on the oath plan. The deck had enough copies of cards that you weren't worried about exiling too much.
It was a great deck and very consistent.

And now there are two.

@mourningpalace said in Reverting cards to original functionality:

@john-cox what are you referring to as addendum that mills? The original wording on the card does not read this way. Was that an old errata function that worked this way at some point?

I think I had this errata confused with Chains of Mephistopheles, -my bad. I will RTFC next time.

@bazaarofbaghdad said in Reverting cards to original functionality:

@john-cox "No spells may be cast between drawing and discarding cards." That's actual card text so I think your analysis may need some work.

Its also a ruling.

Is there any push to revert Bazaar of Baghdad back to its original wording? Currently its at "draw cards 2, then discard 3 cards.", the original wording has an addendum that if you draw 2 or less cards you mill instead of draw (which would not trigger dredge).

Thats the list I think. I remember it being Josh Potucek who was playing it, but I think that was the event.

I misread this, this card is terrible.

It's a shame you can't use this in a Zur EDH list.

This has some viability in tribal Eldrazi (maybe fish?). A part of me thinks it would be fun to put in a mentor list.

Edit: I though I should broaden the original post as this card deserves more.

As far as blue decks go the most common creature type is Human (by far). If your playing mentor equipping a Snapcaster Mage with this gains a lot of value. You could block and trade your Snapcaster with a Thought-knot Seer and with this get mentor. If the odds gave you got another Snapcaster that's kind of better.
The cool thing about snapcaster and this card is you can flashback the revealed cards. You could almost use this in a vacuum and play with only snapcasters.
The tribal decks (that rely on consistency) would be great with this also. it doesn't really matter if you get a Though-knot Seer a Reality Smasher or an Endless One most of the time.
This card also makes delve better, and Yawgmoth's will better.
I really like this card I do wish it did more as an equipment.
