Pickles in the Jar-o

Everybody else... slooooow dooooown

Ha, I bet you thought I met a dud card overall! Nope, I'm here to highlight one half of the infamous pickles lock combo from Time Spiral block/standard. Basically, this guy combined with Vesuvan Shapshifter created a soft lock combo that kept your opponent from untapping. You then had to deal with 2 5/4's as well. Fun times, fun times.

Well after Standard rotated, our dynamic duo ceased to exist basically in their entirety. However, I'm here today to remind you that this guy is still around! A Modern dud, but he's still around. With the printing of more morph friendly effects in Khans, I just wanted to give this guy some limelight. He's an iconic combo piece without a home in a format most likely to fast for a comeback.

Feel free to disagree though. No ratings anymore either. They were to confusing. Instead, I'll leave you with a question: What other slow, but interesting cards would you like to see in Modern? Leave your comments below and you may be featured in a coming Uncommon Thoughts.

Next week is Eternal Witness.
