MTG HAS BECOME RIDICULOUS - Modern Horizons 3 Is Out Of Hand

Thanks for stopping by my friends, you can see me ranting about that wrestling card here - https://youtu.be/hE6wIgZCnNY I will be livestreaming tonight here - youtube.com/c/MikeHatcher

Signature slam is literally the meme of 15 squirrels killing emerakul

The Avacyn Symbols are nailed to the trees to try and stop the woods from shifting, not to enable it…

Getting to Yu-gi-oh/Overwatch balancing of "If everything is broke, nothing is broken."

About signature slam: remember that emrakul, the terrifying, world-ending eldrich terror can be intercepted and killed by 15 sqirrels.

For the record I would totally carry around a staff with a carving of my own head if it were socially acceptable.

Gonna do an altwork of Fanatic of Rhonas. It's Going to be nearly 1 for 1, except it's Kanye West. He's one of the few people I can imagine walking around with a staff of himself in front of a structure of himself.

It's flippin bonkers. I'm starting to sell off my legacy playable cards because of it... Cause MH3 turning modern into Legacy Lite (or Legacy Light 🔥) is gonna take Legacy itself out back to put it down without even the dignity that Old Yeller gets.

Imagine the bloom burrow set is just a bunch of crabs 🦀 since they all evolved into crabs

That snake with Eternalize is annoying the nerd in me that loves Mtg lore. Clearly that artwork is depicting Amonkhet before The Second Sun peaked. Therefore it should Embalm, not Eternalize 🤓

That snakehead staff reminds me of Jafar's staff from Aladdin

Signature slam looks like a card you can find in Flesh and Blood.

I think the idea with Shifting Woodland art is that it’s a “graveyard” (hence the shovel) and the symbols kinda keep it at bay. But when the Delirium requirement is met, it shuts down those symbols for a turn (also hence why it does change into a permanent permanently.) Just how my mind works it out, but coulda def been fleshed out better

Honestly, I’m keeping a couple of commander decks and that’s it. The power creep is really turning me off. My collection is getting smaller set after set.

14:05 tolarian community college addressed something similar to that as well. Magic the Gathering isn’t taking itself seriously anymore.

Nadu design is Wizards on a ton of cocaine- it triggers twice PER creature. Of off abilities and your own stuff too. Commander games gonna turn into Cinderella re-enactments when all the creatures gonna try if they fit the Lightning Greaves.

I mean, Signature Slam just having goats dogpile a Kozilek just remind me of the meme where Ulamog takes a Tragic Slip. We’ve had weird things like this for a long time in Magic. Hell, we have 6/6 Dinosaurs being able to be blocked by 1/1 Squirrels. I don’t know why this is an issue now

I was expecting you to stay on Nadu a lot longer. That card seems incredibly abusable with any free equipment and any landfall triggers that make tokens, among other things. The lands it puts into play aren't tapped and the "twice per turn" is for each individual creature, meaning even if you only have 2 other creatures, a shuko or lightning greaves is drawing 6 cards and untapped ramping every land among them. If you have a scute swarm out, each of those lands is making another creature to dig 2 more cards with until you hit enough lands for exponentially increasing counts of tokens and you just get your entire deck. All that said, the card might just be too awkward to make work in modern, but I would be very surprised if it's not an incredibly powerful commander to build around.

I feel we went from fine luxury cardboard rectangles, to fine "luxury" cardboard rectangles quite some time ago.

Ugin's Binding is visualizing Ugin aligning the hedron network along Zendikar leylines. Also this is the last Ugin card I wanna see before a flip Ugin is revealed
