These commons all seem weirdly strong? some of these could easily be uncommons in weaker sets.

So Brian Kibler, while playing Magic Online, just said, unironically, that it's a great program.

Speaking of overpowered creatures and spells I feel like it may finally be Monastery Mentor's time to truly shine. 1 mana cantrips and dehydrations don't look super exciting but MoMe combined with them will probably kick the poo poo out of your average standard deck.

It's now nearly at the bare minimum. Soon we might even have a program that scrapes the lofty heights of "satisfactory."

All of the stuff they fixed are incremental under-the-hood stuff so it's not like I don't understand why so many people still hate it by default.

Putting in these good reprints into standard sets and then saying "oops too good" and taking them out but then never reprinting them elsewhere is becoming a problem. Remember when they were super committed to Modern reprints and then it turned out that meant "we'll print thoughtseize once and then 10 dollar packs of mostly poo poo and expensive stuff at mythic" It doens't help that they've got Maro out there spewing horseshit like: quote:mrbriancomputer asked: Will we see more reprints in sets than we did in BFZ? That's because the reprints in Battle for Zendikar were Felidar Sovereign and Dragonmaster Outcast you dumb gently caress. I really hope they aren't actually expecting credit for reprinting Sylvan Scrying because that's an all of 5 dollar card used in one deck Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Jan 8, 2016 |

Modern masters is already a limited run product. There is no reason it should be filled with so much poo poo.

There are plenty of reasons, in fact there's probably a piece of paper with "reasons Modern Masters 2015 packs are MSRP $9.99 and full of crap" and there are a lot of zeros on that sheet of paper.

How bad would it have been for Modern if they printed a new Inquisition of Kozilek that was exactly the same except for being Devoid and a new name? Would many decks run 5-8 of that? I could see 5 maybe but as it stands I prefer to mix in Thoughtseize anyway.

Make it a common while you're at it, Pauper would love Inquisition.

I feel like the 0/6 wall that comes with Awaken 3 for 3 mana is pretty loving good. Maybe its just a limited card, but it seems like a house.

It's a lot of butt for the mana cost: being able to block one of the passel of Big Creatures and trade with a den protector or shambling vent is a good rate. It might see some sideboards in standard
