Invigorating Standard

Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

I've never really speculated about cards before, but I'm wondering what you guys think the chances of Invigorate or a functional reprint being printed in an upcoming standard set are. Thanks for the help guys.

It would make infect way too good in modern so no, i don't think we ever se a reprint or a functional reprint.

smackjack is right, Invigorate is already played in Legacy Infect so it would make Modern Infect really good. Also, WotC has learned that it really shouldn't do "Free" spells. I'm looking at you Force of Will and Misdirection ...

Maybe that's an argument for not giving blue free spells.

I seem to remember Wizard saying with the Depth of Power deck that Rewind wasn't a problem because the player really had little control over when to play it. Still, a counter is a fundamentally different beast than a buff.

It makes me regret that Wizard wrote such OP rules for infect in the first place.

Yah, infect is my baby. I was hoping that they would make it OP in modern. Thanks for the thoughts. It makes sense that they wouldn't want to do that.

@Egann: Uh, Infect isn't OP. It barely puts up any numbers at all.
