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.
I was legit just about to post: make the art and frame more aesthetic, and overlooking the lack of a cool single setting and story, and this feels like Urza's Saga.Quote:

Vial? Although at an activation cost of :4:, 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.
It's also a 2/1 on T1 in a Delver deck so it can dish out some damage quickly. Having to spend another 3 mana to make it a 4/4 Mongoose is pretty reasonable. The super TNN mode is relevant in a board stall.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
That card is a wet dream for Stompy decks and if there isn't a Deep Anal powered Madness deck waiting to happen then I will be damned.Quote:

Not too shabby.
I would not want to get Mind Slaver'd with that sword. :laugh:
I really hope they didn't waste five rares on a new cycle of swords.
Fixed that for you. Yeah curious if they'll just throw in a full sword cycle or slowly trickle them in. Also this is maybe good? The protections are pretty good, but the abilities seem useless somewhat oftenQuote:

The full cycle of swords will not be in this set: https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/pos...d-sword-of-andQuote:

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.
Imagine if Hasbro hadn't bought WotC in 1999.Quote:

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.
Instant
You gain 3 life.
