This card could seriously speed up the usually quite slow item and ramp decks that weve been seeing from sapphire players in set two, to a scary degree
There are also, of course, spells like Fira and Firaga, for when nothing quite cuts it like a fireball
Three mana as weve discussed is a hefty price in a deck this low to the ground, and while a Thoughtseize effect is situationally great, there are just better things you can be doing with your mana
Since it was only available in the Chinese market, and in a set that saw smaller production numebrs at that, you can count yourself lucky if you get your hands on this alternate version of some players' very first Island
Theres nothing proprietary about them, and they arent old enough to make it impossible to tell the new fakes apart
Well, I still like it at its current price
