Near-reprints

• Devil's Play is a Blaze with flashback, which itself is a Fireball without the option of additional targets.
• Faithless Looting is a colorshifted Careful Study with flashback.
• Infernal Plunge is a less effective, red version of Culling the Weak.
• Memory's Journey functions like a buffed up and colorshifted version of Krosan Reclamation.
• Parallel Lives is the token-copying half of Doubling Season.
• Havengul Runebinder is Cemetery Reaper but instead of removing a target creature card as part of the effect, it is part of the cost; instead of giving the Zombie creature token +1/+1 as part of its static ability, Havengul Runebinder puts a +1/+1 counter on it; and instead of being a black Zombie, Havengul Runebinder is a blue Human Wizard.
