Instill energy’s new Oracle text gutted the whole reason I used it.

[matthewmalovich]

“Was challenged to find a use for this card”

Doesn’t find a use for this card but explains the cards history

[TingusPingus]

Glasses of urza used to be you can look at opponent’s hand now it is a tap ability

[backkick]

You can use it during your upkeep as many times as you want... infinite mana gets you infinite untaps... you might as well run dramatic reversal and Isochron scepter.

[olisloth]

This is unironically one of my favourite creatures because it's so stupid.

[JoeEdwardsD]

Burnt Offering, I just found out they added mana symbols to the textbox, which makes it unusable in monoblack Commander deck now ☹

[thatcooldude]

Glasses of Ursa
it used to say look at target opponents hand but now it says tap look at target a Opponents hand

[rdbaron]

How about a Alibou, Ancient Witness deck. Cast and attack with Brass Man and leave it tapped. The next time you attack with Alibou, Ancient Witness in play, it will see the tapped Brass Man, do damage and scry.

[papparoyal]

Wrath of god. Changing text from bury all creatures to destroy all creatures how the hell do you get around indestructible aside from exile? I would change text on wrath to exile all creatures.

the colorless cost and decent Statline make it a niche card in certain cubes. Which is something.

[hiimemily]

For a while after Born of the Gods was released, Reconnaissance could only be used before combat damage, removing its utility of giving your creatures pseudo-vigilance. Thankfully this change has since been reverted.

[magnarkorsmo]

Instill energy gave real haste for a while, now only givea pseudohaste

[RowinMarkov]

Why did they change it? And when? I was using that in my phenax commander deck, was i accidentally cheating?

[wavesofbabies]

Oubliette isn't bad per se but was done dirty by the redesign

[matterhorn]

I guess you could kind of replicate the old functionality with multiple upkeeps? Paradox Haze and the like?

[randy]

Did you find a use or did you lose the challenge

[brandonroberts]

Brass Man never seemed bad for the context it exists in, a 1/3 for 1 that any deck can cast is way above rate compared to anything else at the time. Early game it can block Savannah Lions, Grizzly Bears and most any of the best early threats while still being a good target for auras, just slap a Giant Strength on it and you have a 3/5 on the second turn that dodges removal from Bolt and Terror. I never felt like the templating change "ruined" the card, all the new wording does is make sure it functions how it was originally intended to.

A reliable body for Halo Fountain? Retap him with convoke spells

[Pine_Hill_Prophit]

"i was challenged to find a use for tinman" but couldn't so i just explain why i could of if a ruling didn't change.
