Of the new cards in Amonkhet which do you guys think are the top 5 likely ones to see a bit of modern play?
>>52700123
Not that one. 3 Mana is too much.
>>52700129
I know not that one, I'm saying other cards you'd think would
>>52700175
Probably none. Gideon has the highest chance, but even he seems not enough.
>>52700123
That XR destroy X target artifacts might make its way into some sideboards.
>>52700123
Green god. Harsh Mentor
>>52701961
I dunno, red already has ancient grudge and shatterstorm.
>>52700123
1 mana 3/2 deathtouch flyer seems decent
easy enough to cast on turn 2 with a push
>>52702085
You mean just like how Delver is such a played card?
>>52702018
Personally I'd rather play the X spell than Shatterstorm. Sometimes you only have three mana and hitting the two best artifacts is good enough.
>>52700123
>Harsh mentor
Obviously
>archfiend of ifnir
100% in living end
>other assorted random cyclers
might make the living end cut
>pull from tomorrow
Grixis gets a draw x
>vizier of deferment
blink shenanigans with b/w eldrazi or snapcaster
>by force
Sideboard
>cascading cataracts
indestructible colorless land with possibly relevant ability
There's some other gimmicky shit that might see play if people can reliably break them, but these seem the most likely
>>52700123
1. Shadow of the grave
Tutor-able, powerful, aggressively costed.
2. Harsh mentor
Helps burn put even more pressure on certain decks, back breaking against decks with low removal counts.
3. Bone picker
3/2 for 1 is great no matter how you slice it, turning on morbid will be slightly challenging but the deathtouch makes sure it stays relevant in grindy games even as a top deck.
4. Gideon/Glorious End
Putting these together since they go in the same type of isochron/grace deck that now has doubles of all it's key cards and an extra counterspell/timewalk hybrid card.
5.Harvest Season
The ceiling on this card is fucking nuts, potentially slotting into existing elf decks or forming a new archetype if all the pieces are able to be put together, although not being readily tutor-able is a problem with hand disruption being as good as it is in modern.
Strictly better Fate Forgotten goes in my sideboard.
This little guy will see play, atleast as a sideboard card.
>glorious end during upkeep
>gideon
>???
>snap caster during upkeep
>GE again during next upkeep
>Torrential Gearhulk during next upkeep
>>52700123
Harsh Mentor is the only one I can see actually being a meaningful addition.
Bone Picker is a cute Delver like creature, but I doubt it will become actually useful.
Watchers of the Dead might become a neat sideboard option.
I like Soul-Scar Mage and Faiure // Comply, but I don't think they're actually that good.
>>52701961
Shattering Spree isn't better?
>>52702137
>you mean like how very popular card is played?
Yes?
>>52702647
>implying he wont be a 4-of in RDW or burn
Yeah, he comes out a little late to stop all fetches, but hitting motherfuckers for 5 every time they fetch a shock land is an auto-include.
>>52702732
>4R, destroy 4 target artifacts
>RRRR, destroy 4 target artifacts
one is better, one is actually usable
>>52702732
Spree is a fucking ton of red mana, which only a feew decks can reliably make use of.
>>52702727
I missed Archfiend of Ifnir, that has to be usable by Living End.
>>52702738
Not in modern, it isnt. And this is even a turn slower than delver
>>52702759
He's objectively worse than eidolon and is terrible if drawn late.
He'll only slot into a RW hatebear shell
>>52703146
Nah I think he sideboards nicely into really any red deck. Turns off a lot of combos, and just wrecks affinity

>>52703252
thanks based shill
>>52700123
harsh mentor will probably go into Burn sideboard almost immediately.
>>52703108
this also blocks tarmogoyf/death's shadow/tasigur/etc. I think it's more comparable to baleful strix, but instead of a cantrip you get 3x the clock, also sometimes this costs only 1. This card might be asking too much though you have to kill a creature main phase AND have the mana to cast this, and that most likely means you are tapping out which delver/control style decks don't really want to do. It could certainly end up just being draft chaff, but I think its worth testing
