level 8+ pro everything
If translation correct.
As a Nic Fit player i am pretty hyped for the head of Progenitus :D
(which is splitable) for a 4/4 with pro instants is pretty good, considering pretty much all spot removal spells (aside from Edicts) are instants. DIY Mini-Progenitus is just the icing on the cake.
Really? If they want that, then they should strive to make No-RL-Legacy a thing instead of trying to change Modern or Legacy.
I would still expect that a lot of Modern players will be sad when suddenly a lot of the childish combos aren't viable anymore because of the new countermagic.
Ehhh...it's not great, but it likely will serve a specific role: this thing can kill Tarmogoyfs while not being dead otherwise. The rate is still pretty good, it's a Ball Lightning split over 2 bodies. Designed for Modern, not legacy.

This will singlehandedly unite Vengevine and Hollow One. It's better than Cathartic Reunion because it's a creature to help trigger Vengevines. I'm on board with this janky stuff. It makes me want to get brewing for modern:
4x Insolent Neonate
4x Birds of Paradise
4x Bazaar Trademage
4x Vengevine
4x Hollow One
4x Burning-Tree Emissary
4x Reckless Bushwhacker
3x Hooting Mandrills
4x Faithless Looting
4x Lightning Bolt
3x Izzet Charm
4x Scalding Tarn
4x Wooded Foothills
1x Misty Rainforest
2x Steam Vents
2x Stomping Ground
1x Breeding Pool
1x Forest
1x Island
1x Mountain
1x Desolate Lighthouse

I love this post, I bolded the best part. While this is definitely a source of salt it's also the reason many players hate the format/haven't bought in yet. Unavoidable one-sided bullshit isn't a path to a healthy format.
As a sometimes modern player this set has done more to motivate me to get into the format more than anything else, save the first Modern Masters set. And that set was what made me (foolishly) sell out of legacy staples to buy into modern.

Maybe I wasn't reading what was said correctly, but it seemed to me to be something of the "opposite" sentiment. They seem to want a slow, highly interactive format made out of Modern. I'd guess the "ideal" there is some sort of "Standard" version of Modern? Where everything is slow, nothing is all that powerful and it's like a "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" match?
It doesn't really make any sense, because part of the allure of "non-rotating formats" is getting to play the "best of the best" cards, which is necessarily a constrictive exercise in and of itself. And a byproduct of that will naturally be some level of "uninteractive" play, because of the dyanamic spread. Which, as far as I understand it, is actually one of the "allures" of Modern, how it's sort of a "Wild West" where all sorts of things can "go."

The new Cat Lord gives +2/+1, just proving the point that all kings are evil.

I'm having trouble seeing how a ball lightning split over 2 bodies is passable, even for legacy (edit: meant to say even for modern). Free mode can never be used to attack, and as a removal spell, I'd rather just have two bolts.
It's a solid "do nothing, dollar bin if that" card.
Surprisingly decent, honestly.

Mostly, I agree. It's slightly better than ball lighting in some situations since it can be copied as a spell, flashed back, cost reduced by Baral/Electromancer, and counts for Arclight Phoenix.
Maybe it was originally possible to attack after pitching for the elementals but it got castrated by development.
