	Homelands wasn't entirely without its cheese. For two mana you got a more than respectable [[tutor]] card that wouldn't be overshadowed for many editions - in fact, it was restricted in Vintage for years, and is still playable in pauper Commander decks. It actually appeared in the core set in Eighth Edition, though hasn't since.		Homelands wasn't entirely without its cheese. For two mana you got a more than respectable [[tutor]] card that wouldn't be overshadowed for many editions - in fact, it was restricted in Vintage for years, and is still playable in pauper Commander decks. '''Alternate take:''' In what world is Merchant's Scroll not a fantastic card? A low rate to tutor to hand is amazing, and most blue spellslinger decks want it in Commander. It actually appeared in the core set in Eighth Edition, though hasn't since.

	A 5/5 with Protection from White for 3BBB is horrible today, but in the days of Dark Ritual he entered for a mere 4 mana while being immune to most removal that existed at the time.		A 5/5 with Protection from White for 3BBB is horrible today, but in the days of Dark Ritual he entered for a mere 4 mana while being immune to most removal that existed at the time: Having over 4 toughness he wasn't taken down by Lightning Bolt, Protection From White stopped him from being exiled with Swords to Plowshares or crippled with Brainwash, and being black meant he couldn't be hit by Terror.
