Personally, I miss shroud. Looks like a limited bomb.

A fun utility artifact. Would like to use it in a budget Eggs build. Just don't confuse it with one of the strongest recent cards, Ledger Shredder.

brings back memories from the modern format.. codex shredder, ghoul caller's bell, together with lantern of insight and some other artifacts form the competitive Lantern Control deck. Sadly, it died along with the opal ban a few years ago.

we got lucky to sell our Ensnaring bridge at a good price while the deck was still alive.

That's correct! I was sad to see this deck go.

yeah, sad to see the deck go.

plenty of memories, these are just from the top of my head.. while reading at the Living End thread at salvation, the LE player said it made his ape dude (simian spirit guide) sad when the Lantern player put down an ensnaring bridge (lol). And I could have sworn there was also this Lantern thread in reddit on how to make your opponent angry (another lol) - that thread was deleted after only a few days. Lantern had it's fair share of haters due to people not liking to play against prison decks.. but in my humble opinion, the deck is fair in power level.

Things only started gong crazy when Urza got printed, and eventually spiralled into events that got Mox Opal banned.

I really loved this desert mattered cycle. I think honestly that we should get another set with the desert matters theme soon because I really like some of the designs they offer.

stompy forever! really wanted to be vanishing 2, or be 3/4, or have haste (maybe this is crazy talk?) but I like every card which promotes you casting Memnite, Vine Dryad, Burning-Tree Emissary etc <3 commander being the main casual format makes tricky, pseudoefficient creatures like this look so pointless nowadays though

@Ulka

liking the desert designs as well. Still use several of them in my semi-casual eldrazi deck.

although not sure where they could make a desert mechanic again. Feels too soon to return to Amonkhet.

what makes the golem bad is there are now a lot 3/3 for 2 cmc with no downside like Kalonian Tusker. And 3/3 for 2 with an upside like the Barkhide Troll.

the golem does have the advantage not needing colored mana... but I'm not sure which decks would like to have the golem.

Stuff like this - Auras that replace the card they cost you in some way - are always at least fine in Limited. Since this is one mana and since creatures are more valuable than Auras anyway, so much the better for this.

Hyena Umbra is probably the gold standard at this CMC though - don't see that being beaten in this niche.

Block a big trampler and take zero? Sounds good to me.

Raid is such a great mechanic for Limited.

conditional shock attached to a 2/3 body. Not bad at all.
