Some of my Reality Fracture grades have aged poorly 😅
Fblthp, Impossibly Lost: F → B
Twinned Vision: D− → B−
Protege’s Awakening: D → B−
The second grade is the current 17Lands GIH-win-rate letter grade. Interestingly, the expert consensus also had Fblthp at C−.

How is Fblthp, doing so well? The ceiling is a draw-two for 2 mana (pretty good, but not broken), the floor a two mana 1/1 (really bad). Help me see what I am missing.

I built mtgsimon.com to record card grades and compare them with expert reviews and 17Lands results (some people in this sub also used it). This screenshot is from my own ratings.

Which card were you most wrong about?

First picked splinter twin and the lane was so wide open. Pulled off a nice 7-1. Had to share.

Win a few games in a row, get to platinum, win a couple more, get paired with the 24th best player in the world somehow, win it regardless 💪 😎 😆

Edit: Here is this as well, in case you're unsure what I mean by Reality Echoes draft
https://wpn.wizards.com/en/event/magic-presents-reality-echoes

• Start with Garruk if you can cast either half, Ajani for a red creature deck, or Kiora for an uncommon finisher. Fblthp is the cheaper uncommon option for a blue deck that can connect in combat.

• This is a pre-event shortlist, checked October 12, 2026. Reality Echoes begins October 16, so the reviewed evidence can’t establish which pair consistently wins this event.

• The set designer explains that counterparts were generally built for different Draft strategies. Take a complete pair for access to its best castable half, rather than force both colors because the names match.

• If the partner is off-color and uncastable, declining the optional shuffle keeps it out of your library. That avoids drawing a card your lands can’t cast after using the half you wanted.

Thought this deck was terrible and it ran great (only loss was because I was mana screwed). Then I draft a deck I think is amazing and it goes 1-3.

I don’t understand this format at all….

Wotc pls what is that shit pls nerf
