I think people don't like to acknowledge shops. If they did they would probably play it and be less biased against the archetype.

@nedleeds
Thanks, I never had any idea any of that had ever happened.
Do you think that when Channel was reprinted in SoK it had anything to do with Type 2 becoming Standard around then? -I do realize that there was very little broken stuff you could do with Channel in that era's Standard.

@nedleeds
Do you mean to say Channel was banned because of T2 or T1.5? I can see a lot of early restrictions happening because of 1.5, I have never heard of one in T1 because of T2.
If this is the case, could you explain why? I've never played T2 and I don't understand how this would interact.

How does this compare to Cryptic Serpent ?

I would keep Blightsteel in. Blightsteel + Time Walk is almost as much a win condition as Mentor and its easy to hard cast Blightsteel.

Good to know! I also pick the cheap stuff on modo.

Great article! I have just one silly question, do you have any say as far as what art gets chosen for the cards? I dislike the new stuff (I don't think I'm the only one!).

I've been tweaking a moon stompy list and memory jar seems good there.
This made me wonder if Jar might be good in a workshop list.

Any one care to weigh in on this on this?

Lotus, 2 Moxen and Petal is four secondary sources (40% chance in opener) of mana. Math that out with a 4 off card (40% of 40%) and you get about an 11% chance of it happening turn 1 if theres 4 copies in your deck.
Add in stuff like repeal and chrome or opal mox and your looking at 20ish percent.
This isn't a bad turn 2 play.
I think the home is in a mentor shell. Maybe a PO mentor deck without the PO's. Put in some extra Snapcaster/Jaces. Maybe a blue angel 2.0 deck.

@spacebalzz Some math was done. You can do it in most decks about 11.5% of the time.
