Thought-Knot Seer

R&D's Secret Lair Effect

With R&D's Secret Lair out, does it become impossible to cast cards like Thought-Knot Seer because you can only add {1} to your mana pool instead of {Colorless}?

R&D Secret Lair makes the card do what it was originally intended and those lands produced colorless mana even if we used a different symbol, so it has no effect in this case.

Stoneforge Mystic in Modern

Will we ever see stoneforge mystic in modern? The oft quoted reason is because it suppresses aggro, but aggro doesn't seem to be having too much of a problem and swords/batterskull seem tame compared to turn two thought-knot seer, turn 3 reality smasher.

As a general rule of thumb, if a card is powerful enough to be banned in Modern, it’s probably too powerful to be reprinted in Standard.
