Fuck Sheldon.

What are you talking about?

Eldrazi Monument

That gives flying, not vigilance, and it affects all creatures.

I'll think about it.

How many reanimation spells should a reanimator deck run, and which are generally considered worth playing? I have a ton available, but I'm wondering if it's worth running things like twilight's call.

>What's the most underappreciated block/setting?
Block: Either Time Spiral or Ice Age. They both had a ton of weird, cool stuff. Ice Age is showing some wear from years of power creep but it's still where I discover a lot of bizarre effects with no remakes or even similars. And Time Spiral has those touches of batshit insanity that make it look like the average "Custom Card"/"You make the Card" effort got actual workshopping to be good. Looking at you, sprout swarm.

>Setting
Ulgrotha. Pity the cards were mostly trash.

Coldsnap/Ice Age for most underappreciated block.
Kamigawa for most underappreciated setting.

I always find a fun and wonderful Coldsnap gems for my deck. Latest one I started using was pic related.

Kamigawa is the most underappreciated setting. The block had issues but many were out of the block's control (like Mirrodin being the shitshow it was and Commander not being a big seller) but it was the 2nd to last block in which they took many risks during design (Time Spiral being the last).

I don't know if I'd call Time Spiral underappreciated. It's normally cited by most personalities as their favorite set in addition to most people who were around during that time. Great block though.
