There are also unfair blue decks that may want it (if only using Force defensively) and unfair non-blue decks that want to shut off Force, Grief, Daze, FoV, other combos...
Just imagine a very common scenario:
You play bauble on T1 and opponent is holding FoW. Either they immediately 2-1 themselves or FoW is a dead card until they can answer the bauble, which if they cannot do before you untap, results in a 2-1 anyway.
Then you get into the Reanimator conversation where you are blanking 8-12 cards depending on their deck.
Then you get into all the other zero mana stuff that this hoses.
Yes, stating the obvious, this is a great card and highly needed I might add given all the free crap they keep printing.
Even if you submit Akroan Horse+Wild Dogs as a joke and get 0 pts one round, it will be the ceiling deck and power down the whole format, making it much sillier the other rounds.
Then you can win with more fun stuff those other rounds, without it being all Lotus+Thassa vs Chancellor+Strip Mine vs T0 discard.
Bunch of new cards:
R/W Titan - same as Uro and Kroxa, but casts Lightning Helix on enter and attack.
Whole bunch of hybrid mana spells with a dual land on the back.
Wrath of the Skies - WWX pernicious deed effect, uses energy
Harbinger of the Seas - 2/2, 1WW, Merfolk, Blood Moon effect but Islands instead of Mountains
Deep Analysis, Wirewood Symbiote, and the at least part of the Threshold Land Cycle are now all modern legal
Almost like they're trying to invalidate Legacy by adding more fun Legacy cards to Modern...
Does the RW Titan do Bolt (3 to any target) or Lava Spike (3 to opponent)?
That might be Legacy playable. Jeskai control gains playable lifegain and doesn't need green for a Titan.
So many Legacy ports in MH3:
Wheel of Fortune
Recurring Nightmare
Gilded Drake
Whitenicious Deed
Medallion cycle
fixed Brainstorm
fixed Grim Tutor
Priest of Titania
Wirewood Symbiote
Meltdown
Victimize
Ophiomancer
Worn Powerstone
Deep Analysis
Cephalid Coliseum
Barbarian Ring
Apex Devastator
a Ruby Storm draw 3
some Commanders never Modern legal before
an Elemental Blast
Just to be petty: Grim Tutor is already modern legal as it was in M21 :)
The complement to Swan Song seems decent.
