Three unrelated thoughts:

  1. Brineborn Cutthroat and Spectral Sailor were at the core of a mono-blue flash deck I played, and enjoyed, in Standard ca. 2019. I will definitely be trying to resurrect it. But power creep has been so bad that I'm not sure it really has chance anymore. Is putting a counter on your 2/1 two-drop every turn still good enough in a world of Emberheart Challengers and Mosswood Dreadknights? I have a deck with Ayara's Oathsworn in it and even that is kind of underwhelming in the current metagame.

  2. I like Llanowar Elves, and it's an iconic card, but I'm not sure it should ever be in Standard again. Are you ready for turn-two Glissa Sunslayers?

  3. This spoiler list is the first time I've realized that "Extended Art" and "Borderless" were considered to be different treatments. The difference between them is pretty slight.

I likewise played a TON of Mono U Flash when that deck was relevant and loved every minute of it. Also will be trying hard to make it work with similar reservations sadly. I just love that tempo style in a single color.
