Color Shifted Wall Request

Can blue get a color shifted Wall of Omens/Wall of Blossoms?

I’m not sure of the stats/mana cost, but it definitely can have a defender with an ETB draw card effect.

White Color Card Draw

If white can now draw only one card per turn, Wall of Omens is no longer in color pie, right? It would be blue or green only now? Or could any color get a cantrip creature?

White can only draw one card per turn per source. Cantrip creatures are fine in white.

Future of White's Cantrip Creatures

Good cantrip creatures like Thraben Inspector and Wall of Omens have proved effective at helping with white's card flow. Do you think we might be seeing more of those in the future?

Yes, I believe white can get cantrip creatures.

Grandfathering Modern Cards

Have you/WotC ever considered "grandfathering" cards into Modern if they have color shifted versions of them? (ex. Wall of Blossoms isn't modern legal, but Wall of Omens is.)

It’s like you don’t know me at all. : )

Wall of Omens Query

Is Wall of Omens a color pie break?

No, all colors get cantrips (draw a card as a rider). Green and Blue more often do cantrip creatures.

Harmonize Discussion

You say Harmonize is a bend because green normally has conditional draw but doesn't every color have some conditional draw? Red has discard and white has had draw based on ETBs from enchantments, auras, equipment, and even some creatures (Mentor of the Meek and Wall of Omens). I know why not to give them a Harmonize-esque card but it seems there is more than just removing a conditional statement between bend and break.

Harmonize is a bend, not a break.

White's Card Advantage

For everyone asking about white card advantage, Day of Judgment IS white card advantage. White just doesn't gain card advantage off drawing, except for the occasional cantrip removal or cantrip d00d (and white's tend to be of the Wall of Omens variety).

Yes, white gets card advantage. All colors do. White is bad at card drawing.

Wall of Omens Insight

With White being fifth in Card Draw- did Wall of Omens end up being viewed as a mistake?

It depends who you ask. All colors do get cantrips.

Wall Card Shift

Seeing the newest Tales from the Pit made me wonder, why was Wall of Blossoms effectively replaced by Wall of Omens? Why was that card shifted from green, the second best at card advantage, to white, which to my knowledge ranks second to last (over red) in card advantage?

White is better at defensive walls and every color gets cantrips.
