The art from the original doesn’t give many hints and since there’s no flavor text we have no clues at all. However, it’s another card that’s not inherently broken. Bridge from Below Possibility of a Planar Reprint: 5īridge from Below is a card that makes new players unhappy, an enchantment that does nothing when it’s on the battlefield is counterintuitive. It’s a low score but Lorwyn is the only plane I can think of that fits. There are no real hints to a solid plane here but the flavor text, the typing, and the art on both versions give me a Lorwyn vibe. Thus a reprint is unlikely unless a new frame is made. People have been calling for a ban on the specific printing of Dryad Arbor. It looks way too much like a land, which actually was used to a player’s advantage during an event a while back. The futureshifted frame made it stand out from other lands or creatures but From the Vault gave us a look at what it would be with a modern frame, and it’s a problem. This is one of those cards that’s good in concept but in reality, doesn’t quite work out. Dryad Arbor Possibility of a Planar Reprint: 2ĭo I even need to explain why this score is so low? Dryad Arbor is confusing and has caused controversy by its appearance. Pyrulea is featured in Planechase and the art used on its card “Horizon Boughs” WINK WINK, is just an uncropped version of Horizon Canopy’s art.

We actually have full confirmation on this plane. I just don’t know if WOTC wants to risk it. That’s not inherently bad but it’s pretty damn good. Canopy runs into a similar issue as Grove, a cycle would be necessary. Horizon Canopy Possibility of a Planar Reprint: 5Ĭanopy is a good card, a pain land that has onboard cycling is a sweet deal. Moag is home to The Fields of Summer and the art on the plane card gives me a similar vibe to Grove, it’s not much but it’s enough for me to wonder. However, there’s nothing in the art, name, or text hinting at Lorwyn so it’s a 50/50 with Moag, a plane from Planechase. The art style and the fact that the flavor text mentions seasons in a poetic manner hint me towards Lorwyn (if you want justification read Bitterblossom). So what would a cycle of these even look like? Possible Plane(s): Lorwyn: 5 Moag: 5 Grove is already on shaky ground, Red gaining your opponent life isn’t normal. This could be problematic in a flavor sense. The main issue is that making your opponent gain life every tap isn’t a good effect, making it a feel-bad rare pull and it would likely need a cycle to go with it. Without a similar way to abuse it this would actually be pretty safe in limited. It was good due to the interaction between it and Punishing Fire. Grove of the Burnwillows is a weird card but it’s not inherently game-breaking. Grove of the Burnwillows Possibility of a Planar Reprint: 6 This isn’t a 100% guarantee of Tarmogoyf being in Dominaria but it’s more than likely thus the high, but not definite, score. All of the planar set printed ones belong to Dominaria over various sets with the first being printed in Ice Age (Poor Saffi) and additional ones being printed in Odyssey and Planar Chaos. Tarmogoyf belongs to the creature type Lhurgoyf which only has 8 total printed cards. Fun sets such as Battlebond or Conspiracy could give Tarmogoyf a canonical home. However, in a set with the right makeup, as in less easy ways to fill your graveyard, it could be made into a more fair card.

Tarmogoyf is an insanely good card (as we’ve seen in Modern and some eternal formats) so I doubt it’d be safe for a Standard legal set. Specifically, the likelihood that they might see print in a Planar Set (A set with a fixed location, not a Masters set) and what planes they might be from! I may have missed Time Spiral Remastered but I definitely keep my promises! So let’s get into it! (Possibilities on a scale of 1-10) Tarmogoyf Possibility of a Planar Reprint: 5 Ages and ages ago I promised that I’d do some articles running down the futureshifted cards featured in the Time Spiral block.
