Wow does it feel good to have see the New Cards section of the post filled with something new instead of just New Capenna!
I think [[Inscribed Tablet]] is on its way to being a mainstay in Tron and E Tron. I also think it’s a very good Urza’s Saga target for a lot of decks that want a cheap way to convert your Saga back into a land drop (float your Saga mana, use it to pay to activate the Tablet you grab, get a land).
Two Merfolk lists is incredible. I love seeing that much flexibility in the deck. Especially the one with fucking [[Brineborn Cutthroat]]!
Standard G Tron lists run 8 Karns, 2 Ugins, 4 Stirrings, 4 Scryings, and very few creatures. However, this Tron deck has cut way back on the staples and included more mainboard prison pieces.
Some people on here being overly confident about Leyline Binding not being good enough for Rhinos is still funny. Removal spells in standard sets always get shat on in spoiler season before anyone has even had the chance to confirm if it's good or not, happened with March and it happened again with Binding.
>UB Mill N: \[\[Founding the Third Path\]\] can cast Archive Trap from the yard? A better \[\[Mission Briefing\]\], perhaps?
As someone who has played Mill almost exclusively since Modern began...I don't see this. I played a \[\[Mission Briefing\]\] variant for a time and it was great for springing an unknown \[\[Archive Trap\]\] from the yard on their turn but this is just so telegraphed. You need a way to make them search on your turn to make it worthwhile which leaves it open to being hit by \[\[Force of Negation\]\] against control decks.
It's a cute piece of tech and getting to cast \[\[Glimpse the Unthinkable\]\]s for free is all right but that's the only spell that furthers your game plan for the first time steps and if you are reading ahead then Mission Briefing is likely better.
Every time I see a cool interesting fringe deck that I’m tempted to try out because it looks fairly budget friendly, it just happens to have a 210TIX playset of fucking Urza’s Saga that costs double the rest of the deck put together. God I absolutely despise that card and it’s price.
Then just don't play the Sagas and have a worse list. It's a powerful card that holds such fringe strategies together and made it possible for you to even see this list in the first place
Very reasonable answer, Zeke. I think you nailed it. Just don't play the deck the way it's intended and have a worse/less fun time. Checks out. People who complain about arbitrary card prices are just snowflakes anyway.
I feel like the Dredge deck should be at least called *Loam Dredge*! Pretty sweet bringing back older tech! They’ve been having a lot of success wth this list online and in paper.

That G tron list is blowing my mind right now how the heck
It seems more like a Prison Tron deck than a G Tron deck.
How so? (I've fallen out of a lot of the modern deck lists in the last 20 months)
Standard G Tron lists run 8 Karns, 2 Ugins, 4 Stirrings, 4 Scryings, and very few creatures. However, this Tron deck has cut way back on the staples and included more mainboard prison pieces.
Oh, I see that now, thank you!

The Winota Yawgmoth deck is the greatest abomination I've ever seen.
Great job Darshik! They’ve been going for that Yawgnota 5-0 for a while.

I feel like the Dredge deck should be at least called *Loam Dredge*! Pretty sweet bringing back older tech! They’ve been having a lot of success wth this list online and in paper.
Good catch, I just autopiloted over that! Fixing that.
No worries, great work as always! :)
Hammer is makes great Again! Hammer is very strong deck!
Thanks! That was me, and I didn't even notice it until today haha.
I love the fun-of Shore Up and TBR in that UR Prowess list. Shore Up is very similar to Blossoming Defence.
So what you’re saying is that leyline binding might be good. Interesting. /s.
