Cool. I'm trying to get back into MTG after not playing it for two years.

Thank you for expanding on that. I have limited knowledge on what is going on in Magic right now.

It just occured to me to play Helm of Obedience in Zur. I've had issues closing out games before and that speeds it up tremendously.
It's from a survey on their packaging a couple months ago, Wizards afterwards said they threw that stuff together for that survey but you can see the amonkhet boosters are very much real now and the art is also unique as is the name atlazan,
People hypothesized it's going to be a mixture of atlantis and mesoamerican influences.

not counting a random pen and paper world by some dude on his blog.

I remember being overwhelmed by how gorgeous the cards in Mirage were. I was a child back then!
Same reaction.

That Liliana ultimate on Camera, lol.
This is a great top 8

Yup, it's basically a free delayed cycle effect, with the added bonus of PseudoScrying for you/peeking at your opponent's top deck.
1. I hope Altazan is real. And I hope it continues The Gatewatch story by following Ajani there, after the "defeat" suffered in Hour of Devastation, leaving most if not all of the Origins 5 behind for a block.
2. Death's Shadow looks so broken right now lol
3. Shadow gearing up for a spike?

I mean the commentary team had it right. Remember when Wild Nacatl was too good as a 3/3 for 1? Death's Shadow is often times a WAY better rate in this deck. I mean all we talk about in here lately is bans, right? So why not discuss the potential of banning Death's Shadow in Modern.
Honestly, we need a whole lot more data of this build.
Anyone actually suggesting a ban is jumping the gun.
But it definitely should be on the watch list at this point.

Bingo.
Tron beats Control easily, when Ulamog/Karn/Ugin can just win the game starting on Turn 3, which are the decks that have answers to Goyf/Death's Shadow.
Modern would be damn near balanced if the format had both somrthing better for draw then Serum Visions(Preordain please) and something between GQ/Tec Edge/Wasteland, because none of the answers available work. Tron has enough ramp to straight up beat a Blood Moon, Valakut gets to turn every land into a bolt after a certain point, Bloom gets to chain together Bouncelands to chain together pacts like no tomorrow, and Eldrazi is probably the "fairest" since Temple got banned (Though Reality Smasher is all kinds of dumb for 4C).

White has had so many attempts at iconic creature types I'd imagine it's a running gag at WotC.

Still, he's comparing them to Elves, who since Lorwyn have been in 7/11 blocks(Not appearing in Innistrad, Theros, or Tarkir)
Goblins have been 7/11(Not appearing in Theros Kaladesh, or Innistrad)
Merfolk/Veldaken have been in (5/4)/11( Not appearing in Tarkir/Innistrad overall)
Vampires have appeared in 9*/11 blocks(Not appearing in Lorwyn Megablock, and Theros)
White's 4 "races" have been Leonin(3/11), Kor(2/11), Kithkin(1/11), and Dwarves(1/11)
Basically, White would be damn close to Red/Green in terms of races if we had something like Elves that was accepted.
*This number includes Tarkir, which had one Vampire that was created by Sorin, and Kaladesh, which had Yahenni.

In a year when they're hyping up some dumb new shit with like eight eyes and like lizard scales as the new white race hotness you'll all wish they'd gone my way on this.

Chances of snow-covered lands in this MM set? Less than zero? Totally zero?

How many lands would a 5c living end joke edh deck need? Progenitus being the commander, because why not.

Humans are not White in the same way as Merfolk are Blue, or Elves are Green. There's no Mono white Goblins, but there are several Red/Black Humans. There's no Mono blue Elves, or mono white Vampires, or Mono Red Merfolk.
I'm all for the idea that White isn't a race because White is the color that promotes What Role you serve over your background.
Humans are in every color because Humans are the player race.

Humans as a congregation, as in village and townsfolk, are always white. Heck Kithkin on Lorwyn were basically tiny Innistrad Humans.

Leonin are the best white race. But players are stupid and act like humanoid cats can't represent them or some shit.
I'm already with you. I think they needed a better mechanical identity. I wish they would forge ahead with this.
yeah, it's a shame they came up a bit short in the Kaladesh block, but don't axe them just yet
