These 3 Modern Horizons 3 Cards Are Crazy Powerful! 

I love that callbacks are the theme of this set down to the commons ❤

Good callback? Marionette is still widely used today. They simply just plowed over her to make a new/better one.

My exact thoughts! We know it'll do work 😂😂

Prosper been eating so good lately

Every time they print treasure producers in black Revel in Riches becomes easier to achieve

Yeah I remember pulling one in ixalan and never winning with it once the whole block since treasure generation so pretty slow back then. Nowadays if I have it out to get the treasures I just accidentally win from it. I kind of wish it didnt have the win con stapled to it tbh, then it wouldn't be as threatening and draw everyone's attention.

We did it, we broke Gravecrawler. Though to be fair, I'm sure we'll be saying "We did it, we broke Warren Soultrader" soon enough.

Gravecrawler Reassembling Skeleton Bloodsoaked Champion Forsaken Miner Oathsworn Vampire Bloodghast (potentionally) And Zulaport Cutthroat Falkenrath Noble Blood Artist Bontu Monument Ayara, First of Lochtwain Bastion of Remembrance Warren Soultrader or Phyrexian Altar :)

Gravecrawler is the easiest way

I wanna consider if there's a way to make this work with Goldhound from New Capenna. It might not even be the best card, but artifact creatures with sac/die payoffs seem like the way to go. assuming your black zombie goblin wants to run with red goblins, which doesn't seem like too much of a stretch

And 20€

Warren Soultrader is literally a combo engine. Soultrader (is a zombie) + Gravecrawler + Aetherflux Reservoir = infinite lifegain and infinite 50 damage to any target.

Replace wilhelt with any blood artist and it is instant win

What are you talking about? Ragavan exists in modern, its finally about time we have a response to it on cast 1 mana counterspells in general always see play in sidedecks to stop specific decks.

honestly i think the counter is pretty decent for cedh. planesealker means literally nothing. that, but creature and artifact are pretty decent. dockside and one ring, also mental misstep style countering fast mana. it’s not as good as swan song, but i think blue farm and similar stuff will run it. i like it more that miscast

@@ShpeedleStern scolding has existed for quite awhile. Ragavan has been able to be countered on turn 1 for awhile. Scolding is better because it doesn’t leave behind a 2/2 turn 1.

@@hollowoatand Bowmaster

@@joshuagriffith9191 i’m talking about in cedh. I’m sure it’s terrible for modern (what it’s meant to be designed for, but with these precons..)

Aye same!

Why Pact Weapon on it? So you don't die to a Bolt effect? Better off just using a Blood Artist variant since it just keeps your life total up and drains people.

In modern and legacy the fact that it’s a card that effectively 2 for 1s you when you cast it means it won’t see much if any play….same reason swan song is primarily and edh card… so I don’t think we have to worry about this one too much! 😊

The downside is not being able to counter half of the cards in the game

@@unknowncalibur5242literally, like yes it’s good but in only think it will be in commander and swan song is still better as far as cedh goes.

Yeah I dont think its an issue, still worse than swan song tbh. Same reason you'd usually rather have negate than a essence scatter, but artifacts is a solid base to cover. The only problematic counters imo are the free ones since they aren't telegraphed at all.

I think you're forgetting about the 2/2 bird

The One Ring

@@marshallscot Ok?

Yeah I agree for the most part swan song is still better. That said covering artifacts and creatures is handy on the same card. Lets you cheaply cancel someone's commander or one of the many artifact combo/value pieces that seem to be in almost every deck. Like the one ring, bolas' citadel, aetherflux resevoir, phyrexian/ashnods altar, KCI, etc. The problem is creatures and artifacts are both much more likely to be cheated into play via graveyard recursion, which is usually a sorcery so swan song already covers that lol.

@@dislikebutton9571 and the few cases where Swan Song don't work well you probably couldn't have countered it anyways if ya needed a 1 mana counter spell and not casting your Force of Will considering playing 1 mana counter spells implies you are playing high power or competitive in the first place. Like there are just so many cards such as Force of Will free counter spells that you could put into the deck to counter all the other stuff that Swan Song does not cover

It gets even better when you throw prosperous inkeep into the mix, since whenever a creature enters the battlefield, you gain a life and whenever a token is created, you get a squirrel so you get infinite squirrels to sacrifice and infinite life to sacrifice them with giving you infinite treasure tokens

Free body tho

The red flare is the first non-blue free counterspell, I believe. Or at least, it can counter other counterspells

@@sorin_markov Yeah, but I want more than like the 10-15 that exists.

@@benfurnish2052 Then, too bad ig? Color pie exists for a reason, you have to take subpar options if you want a specific effect in a deck that doesn't include the color where that specific effect happens. Either splash that color or use the worse off-color versions

@@sorin_markov 🤓

@@benfurnish2052 There are more than 15 if you look in older sets. But they are usually situational or counters enemy colors...or even old stuff like Brine Shaman which is 1B hat has a activated blue ability to counter target creature spell, Ice age counters kinda were annoying for that Ok so in total so far there are about 32 cards maybe a bit more that says "Counter target so and so spell" that are not in blue or need blue mana to activate it or that have devoid while being blue or the ward mechanic. I also ignored any Unsets as those are not real cards Though funny thing is i don't remember if Black or White had the least amount of counter spells barring colorless

So I know these aren't Zombies but they are all apart of this guy or Phyrexian Altar in his places Infinite combos with any of the Aristocrat Pingers. Oathsworn Vampire Bloodsoaked Champion Forsaken Miner Gravecrawler Reassembling Skeleton Bloodghast potentionally with shenanigans. And I just found one more but forgot their name. I know not zombies but all get value from Warren Soultrader

@@travisbillmyre9718 I already knew this combo, but I just found the one I said to be more on theme and fun

That’s because they aren’t out yet

Nothing here relies on thoracle?

If you think having answers to thoracle is “relying on it” you don’t understand magic

It's a core identity of the color and this new one fills a specific niche opposite to swan song. Good design

@@killeryodellingmonkey4192 bruh I'm just bitching about blue, it's not that deep

@@killeryodellingmonkey4192 also real shit if I was gonna actually bitch, it would be about the potential return of Eldrazi Winter 2.0

yea that's kinda how new sets work

@@e-maniac2168 as I mentioned to the other dude who takes this shit WAY too seriously, I'm just bitching about blue, like most people who don't play it. It really isn't that deep my guy

m o n e y

You do realize that you don't have to use these cards right? also you do realize there are casual players that like playing with high power right? Wizards caters to everyone or at least tries to if they think it can make them money

@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena Doesn't matter if you personally don't play these cards or if you play at a lower power level, power creep still really affects you. Other people *will* play these cards and *lower* power level is in comparison to the high power level, so it gets indirectly raised too.

@@sorin_markov Have you not heard of rule 0? it's this thing people usually use or bring up to dismiss arguments they don't wanna have. But anyways if you don't have a personal play group to discuses what you would or would not like to see played then oh well these cards are not that problematic just play removal for the non instant ones. Like it's not really a problem with power levels But then again i have been playing for years so you kinda get a feel of "Oh this card might be broken or great" then you play it and are like "Oh it's shit". The counter spell is just useless in higher power considering higher the power goes the more they use the stack so artifacts and or creatures usually are pointless to counter and i don't know why you would counter a plainswalker

@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena So your argument is a combination of "nobody can play cards I don't like" and "dies to removal"? Neither of those is a good argument. Artifacts and creatures are still really strong things to counter. One of those types includes *commanders.* I'm personally not a fan of inflexible counterspells like Swan Song, but they're used a lot in high-power games, so I can't argue with the results.

Actually need to agree with you holy crap, I don't want to face most of the precons even

Real, I'm so tired of seeing them. Ugly art, bad overly pushed design, just does a nearly uncounterable effect on cast and wins the game after 1 turn if left unanswered. So lame. As if green ramp and WUBRG mana cheat needed more toys brainlessly vomit onto the board and win with.

A single blood artist. The even curve into each other perfectly
