The blue charm is interesting, altough UUU is pretty tough. What are good targets to steal? Vial? Delver? Tapped Moms? Moxen? Noble Hierarch?

I think the most obvious target is Marrit Lage, with the usual UR cards like Delver, Pteramander and Lavaman. Otherwise it's a Counterspell when you're ahead and a Divination when you need something.

Wurmcoil tokens aren't terrible. Does it usefully mess with LED?

Return to Nature from WAR is strictly better than Naturalize.

With T1 Mox Diamond, it should be quite easy to get a T2 Wastelock going.

Between this card and Cindervines, Thresh has all it needs to finally drop Goyf and become one with the trolling. Much better fits in the Delver shell imo.

I completely agree. Hexdrinker is another one I feel surpasses Goyf and Ptera for Thresh!
Re: Modern Horizons Spoilers
Just a note, unless I'm misunderstanding Hexdrinker, you have to be able to protect it until you get the level ups resolved, since those are normal activated abilities and use the stack so it's not quite a turbo-Mongoose even if it is probably good for taking Goyf's job.

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."
Think there's a balance between the speed of Standard (which as an aside is actually pretty fun right now) and what has occurred in Modern over the last X amount of years which pretty much amounts to a linear format where decks get the ban hammer multiple times a year because defensive strategies cannot keep up with the power level.

Re: Modern Horizons Spoilers
This set is starting to feel like Urza's Saga all over again, I can't believe how many outright good cards are being released at once and there are cards left to go ...

This is correct.
