With my luck they will find a way to reprint it in Kaledesh!

Let’s hope, for the sake of new buyers, that Hierarchs don’t get reprinted before MM17!

In my experience both as a player and as someone who collects/reviews a LOT of Modern event data, the card just doesn’t cut it in Jund. Those punisher mechanic cards often fall flat and although it might work in certain lists and metagames, there’s a lot of evidence to suggest it’s not the best choice for most people and in most metagames.

You’re right, that should’ve been changed. Advice still holds but that fact is wrong.

AVR is more recent than SOM, Resto also had a massive promo run. Don’t necessarily think your advice is wrong, but I do think the part I quoted is 110% untrue.

Sadly, it’s just too expensive to have a reliable impact. Burn wins most of its games on turn four. Past turn four, you need to stabilize with cards like Timely Reinforcements, Obstinate Baloth, Lightning Helix, etc. In essence, cards that both increase your life total and bring you closer to winning the game. Orbs just gives creature-based damage prevention over hexproof, which isn’t worth the jump from “0 mana” in Leyline of Sanctity on turn zero all the way to 5.

with the recent success of Naya Burn, 1st in one GP and 2nd into another one, do you think Orbs of Warding could be a great sideboard card? The price started to move already, but I think still pretty cheap.
