![]() ![]() Domri's static ability plays into aggressive strategies but boosting your creatures attack. ![]() ![]() There have already been decks designed around Blood Artist in Modern in the past and now with 12 copies available it seems like an interesting time to give the archetype another shot.Ī new 3-mana Domri proves an enticing prospect. I could be wrong but I don't feel like Ashiok will see as much play as people are predicting.Ĭruel Celebrant is another Blood Artist which makes a total of 12 in the format, taking into account Zulaport Cutthroat. Turn 3 graveyard hate is nothing to shout about, often being too late, and turning off fetchlands is a lot less exciting on Turn 3 or later than it is in the early turns of the game. I think this card is also being overhyped. Potentially a solid sideboard card in certain matchups, with Dredge being a potential benefactor, and possibly a main deck playable in Mill or some sort of Land Destruction strategy, though Ashiok's colours make land destruction more difficult. Milling and exiling the opponent's graveyard is good in various matchups too which does give Ashiok added utility. Some of these became less popular when Birthing Pod left the format and if you cannot drop Ashiok early perhaps it suffers the same problem. Search prevention has seen some play in various guises in Modern largely due to the reliance on fetchlands, from Shadow of Doubt, Leonin Arbiter and Aven Mindcensor. It's good but I feel there are better options in the format.Īshiok has a very powerful effect in prevent your opponents search their libraries. I think this card is being overrated somewhat currently. As such, it feels like the other two modes have the greatest utility. Causing Affinity, Lantern Control or Whir Prison to sacrifice an artifact is unlikely to be very effective when they can just sacrifice their Welding Jar or Mox Opal to keep their Arcbound Ravager, Cranial Plating or Ensnaring Bridge. You also have to take into account that Rampage is not targeted removal, so while it can get past Hexproof, it does not guarantee you will hit what you want. Kolaghan's Command has similar versatility and is probably the more objectively powerful card so the question is how much value is added by having this versatility. It's sorcery speed though and it's arguable that there are better options available. In this article, I am tackling the Gold cards, artifacts, colourless and land cards from the set.Īngrath's Rampage is a solid utility card that can act as removal for creatures, planeswalkers or artifacts as required. Welcome to another Modern Musings! In the first part of this article, I took a look at the mono-coloured cards from War of the Spark. ![]()
