Planeswalker Tutoring

Re: Tutoring planeswalkers - White already has four planeswalker tutors in eternal formats - Djeru, With Eyes Open, Academy Rector, Call the Gatewatch, and Ignite the Beacon. Three of those are also legal in Modern and Pioneer

Perception of Urza Block Ostracization

In a recent poll in Twitter listing top 4 sets in MTG history, Urza’s Saga and block as a whole received a spot in a lot of them, almost on pair with Invasion, Innistrad or Ravnica. Nonetheless, it seems WOTC still ostracizes the block. So, so many memorable cards that helped define so many decks: Carpet of Flowers, Sneak Attack, Show and Tell, Gaea’s Cradle, Serra’s Sanctum, Gilded Drake, Yawgmoth’s Will, Grim Monolith, Crop Rotation, Frantic Search, Replenish, Academy Rector, Opalescence, Yawgmoth’s Bargain, Powder Keg, Rofellos… and I could go on and on. I love that beautiful, relaxed, cartoony artwork too. Any love for Urzas Block here?

How exactly do we “ostracize” Urza’s block?

Creature Extra Turn Mechanic

Not that I think this needs a solution, but if you really want a creature to grant an extra turn upon death, you could use the same template as Academy Rector (and Arena Rector). It's a death trigger, can be used exactly once (without additional cards to retrieve it from exile), and can't be abused by clones.

Why can’t Academy Rector be abused by clones?

Academy Rector Reprint Odds

Is there any chance of seeing a non-Standard reprint of Academy Rector? I was hoping it was in the new mono white commander deck, but that's equipment based rather than enchantment based. Thanks!

It’s on the Reserved List so I’d have to go with the chances are very low.

On Enchantment Creatures

can Enchantment creatures like the Gods be accessed by abilities such as Academy Rector's?

Enchantment creatures are both enchantments and creatures in all other zones, so yes.
