Being able to flip a Searing Blaze just feels great (although may not come up often). My fault for not clarifying how relevant the multi-target switching is, you're 100% right.

Redirect =/= Deflection in effect. Redirect can change multiple targets. This may become relevant, especially if cards like Comet Storm become good post rotation.

You need to hardcast Teferi as well… if you do arithmetics how many times does The Man hit the table on turn 0? Moreover, Teferi only allows to play Creatures as instants… which can't be compared to all nonland cards.

I don't say that it will stay that high, but I'd rather hold them then sell hard!

I wouldn't dismiss the value of Intro Pack rares out of hand. Though generally they take a filler's role, and certainly do offer a virtual soft cap on the value the rare can attain, on occasion one comes along that competes with the price of the Pack itself (or even pushes it up).

We only have to go back one set for the Leveler's Glory intro pack, which featured a foil Student of Warfare. Star City Games has the foil single at $9.99, which is very near the price a canny shopper can grab an intro pack itself for.

Not only that, but my local retailer- no fool himself- gunned the Leveler's Glory accoringly, a couple bucks above the other four. And Star City Games? Two of the intros cost $8. Another two go for $12. And one sits above them all at $15… guess which one? ; )

Jwar Jwar Sphinx has seen a fair amount of Standard play, but its value has remained pretty low- saturated market.
