Porphyry Nodes

Reserved Cards in Other Colors

In regards to the Drop of Honey, you colorshifted it to white in porphyry nodes. Why were people not upset about that in comparison to Reverberate? Seems a clear violation of the spirit of the reserve list.

The Reserved List says you can’t print that exact card. That card in another color is completely fair game.

Reserved List Alternatives

Since making color shifted cards of reserved list cards is ok, (porphyry nodes, drop of honey) when can we expect a black “Ancestral Recall”? Reserved list can’t be reprinted, so what’s stopping wotc from making other off-color reserved cards? What about a 0 cost artifact that has the same text as, say, Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale?

Even if we could print all the Reserved List cards, there are ones we might still not want to make. Overly broken cards don’t make a better game.

Porphyry Nodes Color

What is white about Porphyry Nodes? Why couldn't it be color-shifted to black instead?

Once again, Planar Chaos is not the set to quote when talking about color pie. It was us messing with the color pie. And yes, Black can do that effect.

Color Shift Vs Reserved List

If snow/artifact/etc duals violate the spirit of the reserved list, why are colour shifts like Stony Silence and Porphyry Nodes allowed?

Color shifts are a functional difference that doesn’t supplant the need of the original.
