As they say, the spice must flow.

Now in the spirit of bloodbraid month playing this with the elf and bounce lands seems like a fun time

That’s what I meant. They don’t look alike, but they’re cast from the same mold. This is Wizards “fixing” their problem with Blood Moon, turning a non-basic hate card into something else. It’s not really land hate despite appearances, but meant to operate in the same sphere. In my mind, this is Wizards turning Black Lotus into Lions Eye Diamond or Ancestral Recall into Brainstorm. A downgrade in powerlevel that turned it into something else that ended up being far more powerful than expected. You’re right that they’re not the same card or competing for the same space. What I’m saying is this is a transformation that may be as powerful because I got something spicy with Blood Sun in the works for after Bloodbraid month.

What do you mean “in other words?” My article disagrees with this viewpoint on all counts. As stated, I don’t think it’s fair or justified to compare Blood Sun to Blood Moon in this way. Yes, they look and sound alike and share a mana cost. Other than that, they are totally different cards and should be evaluated as such.

As also stated, I have found Sun’s “combo” applications quite lackluster. Would love to see a list if you have found otherwise.

They turned a hoser into a combo piece.
