The pitch creature-spells are free too, but I'm not sure how much looting there is to be had.

I do think it's a more fun reanimation target
I really hate how Griselbrand just invalidates literally any other reanimation target.

When combined with fetches, it could ramp up pretty fast. Food for staying alive longer isn't the worst, either.
Shardless Agent also has been reprinted and is now Modern legal. I really wonder how Modern is going to look after this set, given the amount of reprints they introduce that were formally only Eternal-legal.

Modern is officially becoming Legacy minus duels. I think it's a matter of time before they make Brainstorm legal.

It's already legal in Historic and hasn't done the format much good.
The whole Mystical Archive crap screwed over Historic pretty hard.

Historic right now is a weird mix of defanged legacy decks and overtuned standard decks. But yeah, overall the format sucks after the Archive hit.
Re: Modern Horizons 2 Previews
Chatterstorm + Earthcraft. Also, Plumb the Forbidden and Carnival of Souls synergy with Chatterstorm.
EDIT:
Interestingly, Carnival of Souls triggers on creatures (or creature tokens) ETB; your creatures OR your opponents creatures.
Culling Ritual after Chatterstorm is another way to make lots of mana, while clearing the board of bears.

Whenever you cast an enchantment spell, gain 1 life and draw a card.

They're really trying to push Enchantress in Modern, don't they?

But why won't they push ~my~ pet deck?
Re: Modern Horizons 2 Previews
In fairness to Wizards, they ARE supporting a lot of archetypes that haven't gotten goodies for a while.
So now they can do Storm. And NOT ban the cards before they show up in stores or online emporia the way they did last time.
[EDIT: Putting "This card has Storm" on garbage doesn't count.]

Re: Modern Horizons 2 Previews
Dauthi Voidwalker quite good. Much better card than Leyline for a lot of decks, and can't be blocked by Strix-types with shadow keyword. Not sure why BB unblockable is over-statted at 3/2, seems egregious....like it's unblockable, make it a 2/2...

Agreed. Thing seems really good. And it can do some really stupid stuff with discard.

Dark Ritual, this, TS, then casting it next turn wouldn't even be that unrealistic. Especially with the new Unmask creature for redundancy.
This also comboes with Helm of Obedience. But being able to run 4 MD GY hate cards this good is huge.
