Banning Allosaurus Rider is stupid.

To fix modern, ban Faithless Looting, Ancient Stirrings, Griselbrand, and Emrakul.

Like, that's it. That stops 99% of the stupid and OP stuff in the...

So it looks like we're not getting Lightning Rift or a variant of it (all Red rares have been spoiled, Rift doesn't fit the name and number crunch).

I think this is a real mistake on WotC's part,...

Tribute Mage tutors for Thopter/Sword/Time Sieve. That's a lotta stuff. Could probably make a pretty solid deck out of that without too much trouble.

This looks innocous, but I feel like it will be an issue eventually:

Universal Automaton 1
Artifact Creature - Shapeshifter
Changeling
1/1

Common

Also, this is just kind of hilarious if...

So I'm not remotely a combo player, but just looking at the design of Flashback Timetwister, I'm thinking:

4x LED
4x Petal
4x SSG
4x ESG
4x Dark Ritual
4x Rite of Flame
4x Manamorphose
4x...

I think their theory was that if Day's Undoing didn't accomplish much, this should be fine too?

So Madness.dec gets some new legs, and can play kind of an old school "San Diego Zoo" approach since it has a 3 mana draw 7.

Of course, it'll actually be used in either stupid combo decks or with...

Tectonic Reformation is not the two mana red cycling enchantment we were looking for. Honestly, I really hope there is a modified Lightning Rift reprint, simply because of how much that would hate...

I'm honestly a little sad about that. It would have been fun running cycling decks without the kinds of manabase constrictions those lands impose for a few years. Eh, maybe I'll still do it...

honest question, do Threeferi and this blue tutor guy make Scepter-Chant a playable deck again?

EDIT: I mean, if you untap with Threeferi and four mana, you can stop them from ever casting a spell...

It's a heck of way to recover from a wrath effect for token decks.

He's much more fearsome than his silly little raiders.

I think to make Rioter work in Dredge in some kind of "one shot" build, you'd want to go back to the old 5c versions with stuff like Winds of Change or Breakthrough or Tolarian Winds. You'd try to...

So, for lands to take advantage of Ruination Rioter, they'd need to get to at least the midgame, Stronghold this back to their library, draw it, cast it, then sac it to Diamond Valley or something. ...

I really, really like the "Loam or Ping" two mana planeswalker. Tibalt looks at that guy and just cries salty tears of sadness.

That's Bearly enough to take note of.

Man, that Generous Gift sure is a White Elephant.
...
I'll see myself out.

I'm still sad that they've had not one, but two werewolf sets and we've got like, half of one playable card out of it.

Modern tokens deck LOVE that white force. A lot of the early one-drop token generators, like say.. Legion's Landing, are crap if you draw 2 of them early. Now that second one basically acts like a...

Yeah, that's a huge upgrade, I'm pretty pumped.

Isn't that just a worse version of Discovery//Dispersal?

It triggers Phoenix by itself. You could also grab double stone rain/molten rain.

One place the black force would really shine in Legacy that isn't getting mentioned much is vs. Dredge. They can do their "make a bunch of dudes" plan, and you can wipe the board on their turn. ...
