Saproling Burst

Masques Block Assessment

The weakness of Masques block was always overstated, I think. Yes, it paled in comparison to Urza’s Block, but most blocks did, and after Invasion rotated in Standard was defined by cards like Rebels, Blastoderm, Saproling Burst, Troublesome Spirit, Chimeric Idol, and Nether Spirit more than any of the new cards.The problem with Masques block was that it was boring, not that it was especially weak for its time.

I won’t argue it wasn’t boring. I will argue that it wasn’t weak for its time.

Saproling Tokens Definition Issues

Regarding defining Saproling tokens in the rules like Clues, Treasure, and Food, that won't work because of Saproling Burst, which creates Saproling tokens that aren't 1/1s.

A good point. There are other reasons too, but that’s a fine one.
