I was expecting a meme about how few cards actually have "phasing" (and phase in/out automatically in the untap step). Instead it's a list of cards that make things phase out.

The list is a little more practical this way, but I'm still disappointed that WOTC dropped "phasing" itself entirely instead of trying to revisit it now that they've started printing cards that phase things out. They could have revisited the phasing lands idea with a tapped Ancient Tomb with phasing (and no self damage), or added cards that grant your opponent's permanents phasing (like [[Teferi's Curse]]).

Yeah, I was hoping to see more (or any) actual cards with Phasing, like Sandbar Crocodile. The highest Mirage block card on the list was Teferi's Veil at #18, and there was sadly no mention of one of my pet cards, Dream Fighter, who can block first-strikers, flankers and deathtouchers with impunity. But I suppose it's Wizards' fault, really, for making the original batch of Phasing cards underpowered, and then never revisiting the keyword.
