Heartless Act (1B)
Instant (uncommon)
Choose One -
- Destroy target creature with no counters on it.
- Remove up to three counters from target creature.
Seems fun with Hardened Scales and especially Winding Constrictor (which double-dips).
Question about Lurrus - does this work this way?
1) Cast something with Lurrus
2) Bounce it with Karakas
3) Vial Lurrus back in
Can you cast another spell from the "new" Lurrus or does the restriction get tracked like land drops?

Both triggers put counters on something; The Ozolith on itself, modular on the target artifact creature.

So just confirming to be absolutely clear: If you have a 1/1 Modular creature, and it dies, you both put a +1/+1 counter on another artifact creature AND put a +1/+1 counter on The Ozolith?

Well Steel Stompy wasn't bad in Legacy, but since that deck runs Chalice and Thorns, I'm not sure a 1-CMC non-creature spell really makes the cut despite how good it is with Modular. But I can see this being quite good with anything running Hardened Scales.

What makes Lurrus appealing to me is that it is essentially a 3/2 Lifelink 3drop with a relevant grind ability that expands your starting hand size to 8 at the cost of a deckbuilding restriction that may or may not be relevant.
For example you could have an Abzan deck with mana dorks that you know would always have a 3drop to follow a T1 dork. You can always use Lingering Souls and Green Sun's Zenith, Hexdrinker or Scanvenging Ooze as mana sinks that would act as pseudo CMC3+ cards. There are also cards that pair naturally well with Lurrus such as Qasali Pridemage, Goblin Cratermaker, and Fauna Shaman.
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...
As far as Legacy goes, this is just an easy finish for any Fluctuator meme decks that didn't win off the back of Drannith Stinger. But it's a really strong card for Standard, might even make it into Pioneer.
EDIT: image isn't loading, it's a 2RW Instant that does damage and gains life equal to the number of cycling cards in your graveyard.
i think any deck running this cat should probably load up on lotus petals. i think it's pretty interesting in steel stompy as well, especially recurring ravagers or walking ballistas.

I also think this could be played as a companion in Death and taxes.
THe 3 cmc permanents are FLickerwisp (could be charming prince, even if it's not exactly the same card), Sword of fire and Ice and batterskull.
All the sideboard 3cmc+ cards are non permanents cards (Council, cataclysm, Gideon...).
I like the idea of having acces to this whenever I want to rebuy thalia (Or remorsfull cleric to hoose the opponent's graveyard). Just need to figure what to do with the stoneforge package (We still have Jitte but we loose flexibility).
song of creation looks like an interesting card. really powerful with dredge effects and untap effects. also pretty busted with 0 drops.

you may play an additional land on each of your turns.
whenever you cast a spell, draw 2 cards.
at the beginning of your end step, discard your hand.

For reference:
Maybe something that makes it more worth it to "go bigger" (i.e. mid-range) for RUG.
Also, Ultimatums are back. Which isn't really news for Legacy, but I do think most of them are just cool cards:
Both seem pretty well and possibly game ending, but now OP (for EDH and the like).
