I’ve been playing more and more magic recently, and have been even maintaining both a modern deck (izzet murktide sorry) and a pioneer deck (arclight Phoenix though it’s not suuuuper strong rn) I don’t really play commander because unfortunately none of my friends IRL actually play with me!

Was just curious if anyone else had been doing anything in MTG recently, or had any thoughts on the new cards coming in the Lord of the Rings set. Personally, as someone who doesn’t play commander, it doesn’t seem super impactful on Modern, though I’m hardly an expert on card evaluation so maybe someone else could (though there’s a counter on creatures with MV under 2 for just one blue so maybe that’ll be worth picking up)

      I’ve heard pretty good stuff about most limited environments lately, though tbh I haven’t regularly drafted in ages, not really my jam.

      Agreed! Though I think it is an option for slots where you’d have like spell snare or something over slots with your removal, because it feels pretty bad on the draw. Also most 1 and 2 drops don’t have insane etbs or anything, at least in modern.
