Opened a box with a few friends. Haven't done that since tempest, a few goodies we pulled.

Well the core sets back then were absurdly powerful. But in general, they were getting used as ways of controlling standard/extended by reprinting whatever they didnt necessarily want in the blocks. In 2009 they started adding new cards to core sets with M10 and that's been how it's gone since with a small gap where they stopped having core sets at all.

I think it's really more that there's alot of cards in a core set so there's more chaff

Core sets are the same size as large expansions. There's plenty of limited cards and trash in every set. What you don't get in core sets nearly as much is linear mechanics like blocks get.

That new Ajani would go well in my Green/White deck for the latest Arena event.

So, a colorless valakut-stand-in makes for some interesting potential build divergences for Scapeshift in Modern (Not to Mention Scapeshift is still in standard for 3 more months)
