At first and second level, sure: Night beats the Dark hands-down.


I don't know that I agree that Eyes of Night is distinctly more powerful than Eyes of the Dark. And the ones that do? If they know enough to find the brambles, they know enough to do their own trimming and don't require WotC to be their landscaper. Especially considering most of the people who play the game aren't the ones who go tromping through those weeds looking for the brambles in the first place. but nothing nearly so egregious that it warrants a complete reprint.
#Magic initiate 5e series
a series of original books that have sprouted some potential brambles and flaws depending on how into the weeds you go looking for them. exactly as we had in 4E with its Errata document with pages and pages and pages of changes all in an effort to "balance" every single thing. the very next book after that would include a new type of rule or system or decision that would make the 5.1 version obsolete too. WotC knows as well as the rest of us do that even if they were to create a 5.1 to "clean up" all of these small bits that have seen evolution during the game's lifespan. The same way that if a table feels like the Hunter subclass should get access to extra spells like some of the other Ranger subclasses now get, they can do that themselves too. If a table finds Magic Initiate to be underpowered, they can just adapt it to the Artificer Initiate standard themselves, WotC need not get involved at all. Yep, that's really all that needs to happen.
