The best Amonkhet limited deck is to draft all the Cryptic Serpents and Enigma Drakes and then spend all game bouncing poo poo.

Zombies just got so much out of the new set that makes the deck a very good midrange deck. There is a very small chance it could become tier 1, but most likely a very solid 1.5/2 deck that people will enjoy in standard.

The removal is pretty great, the zombies are fun, and the deck generates value in creatures pretty reliably. There is also something to be said about the most consistent mana base possible.

I mean it isn't terrible but at the end of the day its just idiot creatures and a few removal spells. 2 mana hand disruption doesn't cut it for an aggressive deck. It still is missing a good threat like Gravecrawler or Bloodghast to really put it into contention. Relentless dead just doesn't impress me. Hilarious how it has spiked to a crazy price already.

If the creatures didn't draw cards, produce tokens, reanimate, and have evasion you would be correct.

I have a glut of options to draft near me, and I think I have to drive a bit further to play with and against better players. Amonkhet limited is fun when you're not paired cross pod with a player who was the only person who drafted black in their pod. Then paired up with the only person drafting green in their pod.

Also when you get P1P3 Oketra's Servant, P1P4 Fan Bearer, and P1P5 Dawn // Dusk and then the two people up from you decided to go W/x.

Haha. Fatal Push is an $8 uncommon in a currently printed set.

It's a one mana removal spell that covers most of the creatures played in eternal formats with a drawback that is completely ignorable because of the most played type of land in said formats. It's the best card that's been printed for Modern and probably also Legacy in a long time. Get your playsets now before it goes out of print!!!

The funny part is it is basically black's Path to Exile, but because it uses a goofy rear end mechanic, they can't ubiquitously print it in future support sets like they can with Path. So, expect it to not show up again until Modern Masters 2021 when they are able to bring back the mechanic whole-sale.

Revolt's an ability word, at that, so it's not a goofy rear end keyword like Fabricate or Annihilator. The Revolt — could be removed and the card would be functionally identical.

There's a bunch of cards that use the Landfall mechanic without saying landfall (like Tireless Tracker), but have any cards originally printed with the word "Landfall" on them later been reprinted with the word Landfall removed?

You mean Vendetta? That's the black Swords. It's also a card I'm somewhat surprised not to see in Death Shadow decks. I guess it's bad in the mirror?

Fajita Queen

If Vendetta didn't specify nonblack it would be good, but alas.

I don't think there's a way to justify black giving your opponent life to print an opposite card, either. A swords reprint would be baller though, or even a nerfed one (in white ofc) that destroyed instead of exiled.

This deck is really miserable to play against so good job being a monster I guess. There was a guy who used to show up at our store with that deck and I'll never forget the time I was playing against him as Mill. One game he had nearly decked himself but had an Awakened land in play that was going to kill me next turn. I got one more chance after he tapped my poo poo down and topdecked my lone Ghost Quarter. The next game his combo fizzled out for a turn and I dropped a Mesmeric Orb :getin:
