Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/08/2019)
If Hogaak didn't eat an emergency ban, there's no way anything from the Urza decks will. Early results seem to suggest that these are the decks to beat, but it's too early to be calling for bans (yet).

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/08/2019)
Ross Merriam wrote an article posted to SCG Premium today titled "Winners And Losers In A Post Hogaak World". He basically claims that the format will slow down after the Gaak is banned, so strong interactive decks will thrive. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't it been the case hi...

Re: Cards that should be reprinted to enter the Modern card pool
Riptide Lab would be a bit too good in a world with Snapcaster Mage, methinks. Not insane broken, granted, but man would that be some gross value. Cast, flash, block, bounce, repeat.

Re: Cards that should be reprinted to enter the Modern card pool
Dust Bowl is a turn four play against Tron for decks that would reasonably play it, so it's not great there. Heck, it would probably be better in Tron than anywhere else, since many of its lands are redundant later in the game, and they can fetch it reliably. Rishadan Port, or a close variation (som...

Re: Cards that should be reprinted to enter the Modern card pool
There are a lot of cards Burn could receive that would make it stronger, with varying degrees of power. Chain Lightning, Sulfuric Vortex, Flame Rift, and Fireblast are all less busted (and format warping) than Price of Progress, and even those risk being too good. Two mana for 4-8 damage most of the...

Re: Cards that should be reprinted to enter the Modern card pool
Flip side: cards I hope never make it into Modern: Hymn to Tourach (randomly takes opponent out of the game) Price of Progress (way undercounted for the damage) Wasteland (invalidates entire archetypes, homogenizes decks) Sinkhole (undercosted way to potentially take opponent out of the game) Daze (...

Re: Cards that should be reprinted to enter the Modern card pool
Would love to see Terravore and Vindicate in Modern, at least. I hope they go full Time Spiral 2 when MH2 comes around so we can get a few more reprints (though I don't personally care what style of border they have).
