Balduvian Shaman

Permanent Text Alteration Cards

Magical Hack has been around since Alpha, while Sleight of Mind saw the light of day in Ice Age. Over the years more of these 'alteration' cards have been printed, yet they are all Instants or Sorceries (not counting Balduvian Shaman). Will we ever see an actual (Legendary?) wizard creature with those abilities?

We don’t do a lot of permanent text changing these days.

On Balduvian Shaman

can you explain the thinking behind Balduvian Shaman? How did such a niche, hyperspecific card ever get printed, and at common to boot?

It was a different time.

Complex Commons History

What common of old would you consider the biggest never again (at common) under NWO? My vote is Field Surgeon.

My go to pick is Balduvian Shaman from Ice Age: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=2495

Pre-NWO Rarity

With New World Order, now we know exactly why a card is common, uncommon, rare or mythic. Before the NWO, how was a card's rarity decided? (I mean, Balduvian Shaman at common?)

We had this cool dart board. : )
