Your Lord and Savior has finally arrived!

B&R list update announcement is on Monday. Presumably everything was finalized last week.

Any guesses/predictions, or is it all up in the air at this point?

I don't follow Modern, but my mostly-baseless Standard predictions are:
Saheeli Rai
Scrapheap Scrounger
Walking Ballista

Gotta break up copy cat IMO, and taking out Scrounger and Ballista removes some (mostly) colorless weapons that could warp the format after copy cat is gone.

Felidar Guardian is infinitely more likely to eat it than Saheeli is; which is a shame because the Guardian / Oath of Chandra interaction is legitimately neat.

How could anyone take The Lore seriously when the culmination of a six-year story arc revolving around a trio of titanic pan-dimensional eldritch presences, who very literally consume the fabric of reality itself, whose presence warps the laws of time and space, who by all accounts are eternal, immutable, inscrutable and inexorable, were finally taken out by being set on fire?

If the writers had any chops, this would simply come back to bite them in a big way - burning the Eldrazi's physical forms just freed them to the multiverse, or something.

Sadly, it won't :negative:

I did a paper MM17 draft today. Opened Bonfire pack 2, got passed Sphinx's Revelation pack three :getin:

Had a Wall of Denial in my goddamn sideboard because the deck was that good.

This is still wrong, Wall of Denial is one of the strongest cards in the format if the goal is to cast anything resembling a control spell.

for a working image:



Cat Lord!

5 mana for 7 points of power & toughness, two of which stick around through removal. Synergy with Leonin & random Felidar.

Seems good?

Is that a control deck win-con, or just too expensive?

It's a 7 mana permanent that lets your opponents choose what they're sacrificing. It's way too slow, unless there's some kind of cute Curse synergy.

Oketra the True
3W
Legendary Creature - God
Double strike, indestructible

Oketra the True cannot attack or block unless you control at least three other creatures.

3W: Create a 1/1 white Warrior creature token with vigilance.

I want to play this in a Lingering Souls deck.
