Illusory Wrappings

Blue Removal Critique

Why don't you like Imprisoned in the Moon? While it is a very powerful removal spell blue has tons of Aura based removal that remove a creature as a threat. Ice Cage, Claustrophobia, and are the weaker end Ice Over and Illusory Wrappings. It just seems strange that Blue, the color of transformation, can't get a Darksteel Mutation type effect.

If it just turned a creature into the moon, it wouldn’t even be a bend. It’s the other card types that push it into bend territory.

Functional Reprint Necessity

Why are there so many functional reprints of cards where the original would have fit just fine flavor-wise? E.g. did we need Illusory Wrappings in AKH when Reduce In Stature would have fit just as well? Or Precise Strike for Kindled Fury in AER?

If the flavor was a perfect fit, we would have used it.
