Sometimes you just want to know what is going on over at R&D. You want to make a Sword of "Truth and Justice." You know it will be played by Vial decks. You have Sword that gives Proliferate...in a deck with Vial....so that they can cheat out uncastable cmcs. This is "Truth and Justice" how exactly. It's fascinating.
Vial? Although at an activation cost of , it competes with Walking Ballista.
Edit: Aside from being Pro Miracles, what are applications for the new sword? I feel like between Thrummingbird, Guildpact Informant, Grateful Apparition and this, there might be a critical mass reached to support cards like Parallax Wave/Tide, Tangle Wire or just good ol' Walking Ballista. Supercharging Planeswalkers or Jitte might also work.

Do you know what assuming does? It makes an ass out of you and me.
Get it...? Ass, u, me?
... ffs I was trying to be funny...
Between Scrapyard Recombiner and Sword of Truth of Justice, isn't that a major boost to Hardened Scales Affinity?
I'm loving Modern Horizons, maybe the best MTG set since Time Spiral. I love the power level, I love the creativity, I love all the call backs to older cards/sets. I just have one request WOTC. Just one thing to make this set the complete love letter to MTG that it should be. Can I get a new Smallpox type card for my Pox deck? If WOTC is going to make any more Pox type cards, it has to be in a non-standard set. Come on Wizards...
I call it. This card will go in every Robots deck in all formats.
This with ballista, ravager, hardened scale, all the modular crits. Omg, it might push Legacy Steel Stompy and Modern Green Robots over the top. I do not know anything about the Vintage meta, but with Workshops it is even better. Mono Brown is coming back
I am curious if Goblins will adapt Sling Gang lieutenant in their shell as a way to gun dont your opponent bypassing the attack step.
This set starts to be one of the best set since i restarted playing MtG in Khans. Like many people mentioned, it reminds me my Favorite set and block, Urza's Saga. They should release a special edition of this with the old layout just for the Lulz. That will be amazing.
edit: I just realize the Sword has protection from D&T, KotR, Delver and TNN. Super strong.
I combos and curves nicely with Trash for Treasure and Goblin Welder.
New Sword:
Not too shabby.
I would not want to get Mind Slaver'd with that sword.
I really hope they didn't waste five rares on a new cycle of swords.
The allied swords have a lot of relevant protections to them vs the metagame, I mean G/W vs BANT and U/B vs Grixis should be decent with even marginal abilities?
The full cycle of swords will not be in this set: https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/pos...d-sword-of-and
Wow. So much to unpack in this set.

- Eastern PA player
Seeing this set is the first time that ive ever really considered getting into modern. Apparently wotc can still produce good cards, they’ve just chosen not to for like 15 years.
I think
Morophon, the Boundless
Is one of the underrated cards feom the set. Im really psyched about it, and I think it had alot of potential, just not sure how to abuse it. It’s a very high cmc for legacy but can easily be cheated into play with a goblin lackey or something. Didgeridoo even. Maybe with 2 and 3 cmc humans that dont have generic mana in costs.
Play 4 Card Blind!

why cards are so expensive...hoarders
If they keep up the standards set by War of the Spark and Modern Horizons I may start buying packs again.
Only notable because it's a new storm card even though it's the top notch of the Storm Scale. Maybe one day we'll get a new dredger in a non-Standard set.
