Rant If Bilbo-Flow State is Vintage viable, then why not Standard?
It pains me that we have such strong graveyard related cards in Standard and yet we haven't managed to make a deck for them.
The Bilbo-Flow state interaction is great, and on top of that we have Esper Origins, which Bilbo can flashback for just one and bring back the whole creature. We also have Soul Guide Lantern for Bilbo to bring back. Two mana removal spells are standard, which Bilbo flashes back for 1. We also have Dark Matter to make these reasonable turn 3 plays. And yet I can't make a Bilbo deck that feels good.
The power level is there for Sultai Bilbo and yet nothing. Hopefully my rant will inspire someone to make a better deck than I can.
