I don't think it was ever at anything before. It was nominally uncommon but it only came in precon products. Strix was a rare in VMA.

Strix art gets me every time. I really need a print.

If Strix was Uncommon, I'd definitely get paired with the guy that got passed 5 of them in draft.
Regal Force is a $15 solar card right now
Oh regal is that costly? It sees no play in legacy/modern so i thought it was a bulk rare.

Every time I draft a storm deck my brain feels a little tighter. Yawg Will or Necropotence make it easier, though.

No? Like you COULD play it, but i have played like 100 games against elves in my life and i haven't seen a regal force in years. Even NO Progenitus seems to be considerably more common and that's a rare build.

Woah.
It's also part of the Modern Cloudstone Curio Beck/Call elves deck that was a thing a few months ago

Well, right, because the framing of WotC "hating" something is silly and unfounded. The right claim to put in the first slot would be "R&D have a fundamentally bad concept of red's color pie, based on non-factual ideas of how things work, and as a result good red cards are almost always boring burn or braindead aggro creatures," which I think is entirely justifiable.
This card would be such a limited nightmare at uncommon.

The best part about not being delusional about my ability at MTGO is the choice to simply not play people who try to play Lantern.

I think Goblin Dark-Dwellers and Kozilek's Return are two good ways to expand red's Constructed-playable rares, along with Chandra's card drawing.
Some other ideas include:
* Expanding red's temporary control, temporary drawing, temporary reanimation, temporary cloning, and mana production.
* Bringing back the old "if your life would become less than 1, it becomes 1 instead" effect to red, but given more of a phoenix flavor, and maybe changed to, "if you would lose the game this turn or an opponent would win the game this turn, instead your life total becomes 1, then shuffle all cards from your hand and graveyard into your library, and you lose all counters."
* Transforming spells the way blue can transform creatures. Like:
Bolt Shift - R
Instant
Change the text of target instant or sorcery spell to "This spell deals 3 damage to target creature or player." That spell's controller chooses new targets for it.
Also, we've had two blocks in a row with red having instant speed temporary control (at uncommon), with Turn Against and Malevolent Whispers, and I really like it. MaRo has said that this is out of red's color pie and it belongs to blue, which makes no sense to me.

Really? The cards are referred to as act of treason among my friends and have been in red for forever, makes no sense

Instant speed temporary control. As in effects that allow you to gain control of an attacker and have it block for you.
They're just not commonly printed because they're super-powerful.Familienoberhauptvogel

Since he has said those, they have done it twice after not having done it for years.

Both could be cards development snuck past him, as often happens with other effects, though.

They really need to make temporary reanimation happen. That's the most obvious place to apply the temporary thing that isn't really done yet.
That doesn't say that it's blue, just that they don't always like to do them (which is fair, since they're super good.)

Randy Buehler mentioned WoTC made royalty contracts with artists during the early days that are still valid? Funny if true.

I lost my mind today. I played a match where my opponent curved out with Duress > Transgress > Mind Rot > Thought-Knot Seer > Thought-Knot Seer all three matches. And I had to mulligan the last two rounds. And the only reason I queued up was because I was on a long string of infuriating losses and wanted to end with a win. I almost sold my collection on the spot.
This is a lot more recent.
From way back in the day. Could probably be a Rakdos card.
Temporary reanimation doesn't sit well as a mono-red ability to me. At least, not in spell form. If it's on the creature, like Unearth, I think it's fine.

Sorry, I meant specifically in red. Black doesn't really need it.
That's why you almost never see cards reprinted with pre-Urza's art unless it's a really low-run thing like a Judge promo, it costs them a ton of money.

lol Randy's trying to tell the VSL what a preview card is, but he keeps crashing the stream.

This makes so little sense and yet is absolutely amazing and made me smile. Thank you.

I'm sure you were all chomping at the bit for the chance to play Nevinyrral's Disk.

Hey! Disk is one of my favorite magic cards ever. At least, old art disk. New art disk sucks.

Love me some Disk. My dream as a kid was to bang Britney Spears, but after that it was to activate Disk and then play Desolation Angel. I had a janky deck designed around this and I'm pretty sure I never actually pulled it off.

Wow therapy reprint. That's pretty big.
