2 things about your statement: 1) it's legendary, so I don't know what you're talking about. 2) the fact that it is always a free 8/8 trampler is what I am saying. 1. Basically if the enemy is able to put out more than a single threat. 2. It's not free. It uses cards on the board or in your graveya...

I mean.. it's not like you can actually pay mana for Hogaak. So yeah, he will always be a 0 mana 8/8 trampler. And Bridge had a lot of problems of its own. Hogaak is a strong card that needs a deck built around it. If you cannot remove a single creature on T2 even after sideboarding, maybe your deck...

[...]And it's fantasy themed it's got be based off of dungeons and dragons[...]

We even got a Bag of Holding in 2020. One of the most iconic DnD items.

Faeries discord is on a rampage rn. Another guess coming from there is "Fairy Tale" themed as well as "Dungeons and Dragons" themed.

If Wrenn and Six becomes oppressive, we all know the hero we need... DRS. That would be Chemotherapy - Killing Cancer with Poison. Regarding Hogaak, it still deserves to be a deck. It's still kind of new so I figure people will find the right balanc ein GY hate and how to play against Hogaak decks....

WoTc made the first 2 cmc walker Tibalt laughably weak.. this time they made up for that by making their second 2 cmc walker incredibly strong.

Justice for Tibalt!
Poor guy deserves better.

I don't know what tools Legacy has to deal with PW. Then again it's a modern discussion.
Wrenn and Six definitely very strong. Doesn't help it's in an already expensive booster pack.

Hoping for some new PW answers soon, would probably help Legacy as well.

At least Wrenn and six makes ppl buy more boosters, which will help with the supply of other cards.

[...]It was good that the premier of the set was entirely new cards, but if they plan on doing a Horizons set every year, I would be understanding if subsequent years didn't follow suit Oh god, could you imagine a set full of new cards as powerful as MH1 every few years? I'd drop the format. I don'...

SFM and the like is best reserved to either prepare a set with Equipment support or for a small shake in the meta should it ever become stale. While there might not be a reason to keep SFM banned, WotC doesn't need to unban it either.

Would just maintain the 3 grave hate in the main of my fnm decks.

Surgical about to become the FoW of modern.

I'm happy about the set. My wallet is not.

Not taking a stance against a specific card does not mean approval of such. What WotC said was that GY strategies have a place in modern. I do believe Faithless Looting is a very strong card. There are a lot of strong cards in Modern that all have their place. Whether this one is unhealthy for the f...

The photoshop is terrible but it got a chuckle out of me.

Cannot find in the thread, where is it? thanks

I doubt anyone working on the balance of Modern at WotC is taking these articles as anything more than subjective opinions. They have a lot of data and they should have enough self-respect to not let their own opinions be swept away by some semi-famous names. On the other hand, I can't even imagine ...

At this point I'm just waiting for the Counterspell reprint.

not sure if people have seen this. Saw it yesterday, but was not able to share because my internet broke down.

Maybe [Goblin Lackey] will be in MH2?

If we get a MH2 I hope for more reprints and less powerful new cards. My wallet can't handle.

Alright, I took a closer look at the bronze kneecap. https://i.imgur.com/GkOGXBo.png She is wearing a lot of bronze and light armor. Two armrings on the right hand and a ring on her left index. Apart from being a stylistic choice, maybe her plane does not have a lot of (quality) iron or similar? Her...

Depends on the kind of deck really. I currently run Esper Zombies with Varina, Lich Queen . Before that I think I was running UB, since I lacked another Esper Commander. I also don't see any replacement for Varina soon since I'm very tribal heavy and enjoy the addition of W with Amonkhet a lot. Unle...

Might be a new walker, but that would be really boring and I doubt it. We know that it's a female. She is using a blade and attached to that blade something that looks like wind or spirit. Some form of energy. Apparently she's able to absorb kinetic energy and redirect it through her blade. While do...

[...]or have the Phyrexians develop technology to move between the planes so that they've spread before Karn arrives.

Wasn't there a similar artifact on Kaladesh? What happened to that again?

I... really have to catch up on a lot of lore it seems. It is kind of hard for me to look through the two set system right now with recent releases. And despite Innistrad being one of my favourite planes ever, we only just visited. I can see Theros coming soon, but not next. Apart from that I also f...

Have been lurking in Salvation for... some time now. Only really joined for the UBx Faeries Primer.
Turns out the Faeries actually guided me here as well, so I guess I'll stay here for now.
