I think it makes sense. WotC don’t want any recognizable LotR characters to become staple cards. Orcish bowmaster could be LotR or could easily be reprinted in the future. Feels weird within the set, but makes sense in the larger context.

Am I misunderstanding the text or wouldn't Orcish Bowmasters only work against something like sylvan library? Drawing cards from an instant on someone elses turn or even your own main phase is not a draw step right? The wording seems confusing like it may not apply to cards drawn outside their draw steps.

I feel like orc bowmasters are definitely better than boromir, and possibly also better than reprieve, especially since literally every deck runs card draw, and the card's floor if it hits the battlefield is two bodies and a ping at instant speed for two mana.

Orc Bowmasters is going to go the way of Dreadhorde Arconist when it was first revealed people thought it was going to be amazing in Modern but it did very little in Modern. Where the card was broken and where orc bowmasters is going to be broken is in Legacy and that is because of one reason. Blue cantrips reign supreme in Legacy. Brainstorm and ponder are everywhere in legacy so Dreadhorde Arcanist got banned because of it and Orc Bowmasters will be amazing. Besides Izzet Murktide there just aren't enough card draw decks in the format for bowmasters to feed on. One other reason bowmasters won't break the format is because creature removal is so bountiful in Modern.

While remand isn't good enough in blue anymore many white decks that splash blue for counters could cut the splash for consistency particularly if that splash is for the side board. Give my Boros deck one more turn to close out the game is often all I will ever need but the inconsistency of adding blue for counter magic out of the board has lost me games before too. Reprieve is by far the best white counter ever printed.

The original two Modern Horizons sets were based on Time Spiral and Future Sight, according to the designers. Those were the first and third sets of a block also containing Planar Chaos, a set featuring cards from an alternate multiverse. Therefore Modern Horizons 3 would be a set focused around a universe different from the rest of Magic’s universe… I think LOTR fits.

I'm actually a bit surprised that Forge Anew was not mentioned here. It will probably only be a 2 or 3 of in Hammer Time but it does a lot that the deck likes. - Brings back an equipment from the graveyard - Allows a free equip per turn - You can equip at instant speed during your turn (ie combat) It adds some more resiliency and redundancy to the deck and gives the deck a lot of reach by being able to instant speed put hammer on an unblocked threat as you swing in.

I play both magic and Yu-Gi-Oh, and I always love your videos like this, because In Yu-Gi-Oh, our format warping mega threats are cards like "The big guy, 3000 atk, 2500 defense, once per turn negate the activation of a card and if you do destroy it also twice per turn you can send one card from both players fields to the grave yard also if this card is in your grave you can banish one little guy from your grave in order to special summon it during either players turn and if you do flip one monster on the field face down into defense position, and if you do, your opponent has to give you a massage. You can only use each effect of "the big guy" once per turn. And then in magic, the format warping mega threat that everyone is scared of is "the tree" It makes my guys a little stronger, and its also a pretty neat little floodgate that stops some interactions.
@ObsidianKnight90
@ObsidianKnight90 Жыл бұрын
To be fair, some of the most powerful Yu-Gi-Oh cards IIRC are basically versions of "When your opponent would do X, discard this from your hand to prevent X from happening." In MtG, a zero-mana Counterspell like Force of Will or Force of Negation is so obscenely powerful it requires you to discard a second card just to play it and it's STILL banned in most formats.

It won't affect constent pods yeah, but it does affect the power level of the format in general. Multiple times at conventions I have sat down with a group of people to play and we discussed mid to low power decks, only for a single person to whip out Sol ring, mana crypt, arcane signet, Old school fetch lands that lead to a turn 3-5 win. Even with the above example aside, this raises the bar. Stuff that might have been a "high power" before might now just become a "meduim power. I.E. if the power level measured from 1-100, and this set raises that to 125... decks that were a 75 (aka in the top 25% range) are now in the top 60% and are now more "mid". Which skews pre-game discussions as well.

One thing that is important to look at for these modern cards is which ones have easy to reprint names and mechanics. Delighted Halfling, Orcish Bowmasters, Reprieve, and Stern Scolding are all easy to reprint once the LotR license runs out. I just don't trust WotC to reflavor cards or mechanics like Boromir, Rosie Cotton, or 'the ring tempts you' in a timely fashion if they become popular. And unlike say the small number of cards in a Secret Lair Drop; reprinting all of the IP locked cards in these large releases of full sets and commander decks like LotR and Warhammer 40k is a non trivial endeavor and they risk becoming a pseudo reserve list.

Hey I've seen this one before! Good stuff Edit: flowering of the white tree isn't going to break the format. It'll be a contender but it's going to be right next to other decks in the format.

I think Boromir also handles any Battles should those come up; sure, you get the front side, but it gets countered when flipped since it's being cast for no cost, right?

Lotho feels overlooked. Being a effective Orzhov Channel on a body is pretty gas, Orzhov Stoneblade perhaps.

Rosie Cotton and Scurry Oak are neat but if its a never ending combo it ends the game in a draw, not a win. Aswell, if you cast it at instant speed with collective company on their endstep, youll never get to untap and attack because the combo never ends, unless you have an instant speed removal to take out one of your own combo pieces. sporemound & life and limb are a similar effect that gives you infinite saprolings that are also lands, but the game cant progress without a krosan grip or some type of removal.

I'd like to point out more cause it's funny than I think it's useful Boromir counters defeated battles as they are exiled then cast for no mana cost

The first creature I thought of when that enchantment was spoiled was Ragavan. Is there any viable Winota/Boros deck for modern that could benefit from that two drop?

The Rosie combo is a bit limited because it needs Rosie to enter after Oak every time, no? That will come up a lot of times, similar company combos in the past did not care about order

Mirkwood Bats might have received an overreaction from Commander and Modern players, but it will definitely make a splash in Pauper and hopefully move Rakdos and Mono-Black back into tier one!

This may sound like a stupid question, but I assumed you of all people would know, does the VIP pass for command fest give you a three day pass? Because they are different in the website and the list of stuff you get doesn't include how many days

Modern Horizons 2.5: J.R.R. Tolkien’s Commander Shakeup …but no actual land cycles, because we didn’t use our renaming things as a Universes Beyond variant and knew that incomplete cycles with the IP on it would give us more marketing opportunities for Secret Lairs. Which we either won’t finish because screw your OCD, or will complete and charge you way too much for, because screw your OCD. Nerds. -All the love (for your money), WotC

I'm a die hard modern player, and I feel like anyone who's been playing since the early 2000's and late 90's typically feel the same way. So I'm excited.
