Place your bets: Is the Red Flare going to be Amazing (Deflecting Swat, Fury), or is it going to be rear end (Force of Rage, Pact of the Titan)?

Would the Flare text on a Lightning Strike be good?

They could just re-do fireblast but you sac two creatures instead of mountains, everyone loves a callback, right?

Kinda sad because uw blink was my pet deck in standard for most of the time mulldrifter was legal in it, one of my favorite cards ever printed. This new one just ain't the same.

there's a chance kappa cannoneer may not be in modern. it's most likely in modern horizons 3 according to the pics but it could be part of the commander decks, which are not modern legal. no confusion there at all. good job wotc.

edit:

here's a new card from modern horizons 3 that won't be modern legal

it's kind of annoying and weird that every card in that post is better than on-rate for their respective mana costs. reminds me of how every rare creature in otj is on-rate or better

There's a 2BRG 5/6 that reanimates Lhurgoyfs when they hit the yard from anywhere but the battlefield, and creates a Tarmogoyf token when your creatures deal combat damage to a player. I love him.

You're right, but it's also worth pointing out that other than the Eldrazi, at first glance none of those cards seem remotely playable. Balancing this game is hard.

How does this interact with reliquary tower?

I think because it's the same kind of effect, time stamp order?

EDIT: Yep, from Gatherer:
https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=500968

If multiple effects modify your hand size, apply them in timestamp order. For example, if you put Null Profusion (an enchantment that says your maximum hand size is two) onto the battlefield and then put Reliquary Tower onto the battlefield, you'll have no maximum hand size. However, if those permanents enter the battlefield in the opposite order, your maximum hand size would be two.

613.6j If two or more objects would receive a timestamp simultaneously, such as by entering a zone simultaneously or becoming attached simultaneously, the active player determines their relative timestamp order at that time.

I want Pearl-Ear, both because she would slot well into my Xenk commander deck, and because the original Kamigawa cycle novels ruled and I want more of the characters from them who didn't get cards in the original Kamigawa block to get cards.

am i stupid or is this literally necropotence, just 2 less cards in your maximum handsize?

because if thats the case this seems like the latest in a long line of attempts to reprint a necropotence that isnt busted, and i have suspicions it will end the same way

Call me crazy, but without good rocks and rituals even straight up Necropotence might not be good enough in some formats. It’s only been okay in Timeless.

Your opponent can remove it before your end step and you get no cards. That's a huge difference.

yeah good point

someone also pointed out it draws cards so bowmaster hits it, but it also means if you have sheoldred you can draw as much as you want and profit on life

i still think this card is gonna be insanely busted

Not having a graveyard is a big deal in the the color pie. Its a huge deal. You don't want to be casting enchantment or artifacts that don't get you immediate benefit in the modern format. If it doesn't survive the turn its a blowout.

you're not wrong about the graveyard thing but how is it a blowout if it gets removed before the end step? it's just a one for one

If the payment of life triggers the card drawing and doesn't require it to still exist, then you are right.

You decide how much life you're going to pay when the trigger resolves, and you draw those cards immediately. It doesn't matter whether it's still on the field after the trigger goes on the stack.

There's not even an opportunity for you to say "okay I'll draw 7" and your opponent flashes in Bowmasters in response - they need to play it before you decide how many cards you're drawing.

definitely never get secret lairs for the bonus card potential. got the same one in two of them. the other sl i got was an extra sketch arcane signet which still looks rad as heck.

kinda funny when my brother opened up two almost identical packs in his thunder junction bundle. a manager and i split a baldurs gate collector box awhile back and we got some similar packs.

Necropotence doesn’t draw, so this does have that difference.
