Proving to be a menace in Modern, Pioneer, and Standard, this consistency didnt make an interesting metagame
I'm here to break down how Regenerate works, what it saves your Creatures from, what it doesn't stop, and the top cards that still make this retired mechanic worth understanding
Phenax, God of Deception $10 Im already counting the days until Phenax screws me over
Roughly fifty percent of the time its a Glimmer of Genius, one of the best draw two variants printed, but the other roughly fifty percent of the time, its an Inspiration, a card that doesnt ever really see play
Then you can discard two cards at the beginning of your first main phase to return this to your hand from your graveyard, which is card disadvantage naturally but with madness, lands, discard triggers like Archfiend of Ifnir, and loads more, it's got value
This is not to say that AM2R is a BAD or WRONG game or that it shouldnt have been made, its just that it had more of a reason for Nintendo to go after it than any fan-made cards you made at least as long as it doesnt look likeor could be mistaken foran official card, doesnt use official art assets, and doesnt resemble existing or future products
