That’s what I would have thought originally, but looking over a lot of the BUG decks are running at most 1-2 of him and usually it’s closer to 0-1. It’s possible that’s the reason, but looking over how many copies have shown up in the top 8’s recently it’s not a lot…

So I’m coming from a Legacy perspective here, but Jace has gone up due to more grindiness in the format. Shardless BUG is coming back in a big way and they play 1-2. Also, Miracles is still the dominant legacy deck and they play 2-4.

Shardless plus BUG delver(also on the increase) decks alone, I believe, help explain U sea’s price increase. Esper stoneblade and Deathblade are actually not very well positioned right now and Jeskai is probably just better with REB being so good. This in turn hurts Deathblade because of Blood moon. While Thoughtseize and lingering souls remain lackluster for esper.

In reply to QBChaz.

You are correct…their legality is in fact shorter than I was thinking…I will make sure to verify these dates before submitting next time.

In reply to Stephen Ligus. Not sure if that was aimed at me or QBChaz...

Siege Rhino et al don’t have “a year and a halfish” left in Standard but rather less than a year. Khans and Fate will rotate out with the introduction of the large Spring set due March/April 2016 as per the new block structure.
