The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Manglehorn makes me so happy. Need to decide whether Reclamation Sage hitting enchantments as well is better than a constant m'lady of all their artifacts forever...
If you're on the play, casting Manglehorn turn 3 to destroy your opponent's turn 2 Heart of Kiran will feel nice. And any future Hearts will not be able to block the turn they enter the battlefield.
I need Manglehorn in all my EDH decks. A wonderful artifact hate piece.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

I do decree that WOTC has answered our prayers, a card that answers both Heart of Kiran AND saheeli combo, 2 new pieces of graveyard hate + a card that answers Scrapheap!
There are already anti-Felidar Guardian cards in every color (well, except green--I mean, it exists but it requires some set-up first). Still, both of these cards are really good. Between Manglehorn and Thalia only basic lands, enchantments, and planeswalkers will enter the battlefield untapped.
I suppose this hits Affinity (Modern) a little bit. Kills an artifact, then slows Mox Opal, Springleaf Drum, Darksteel Citadel mana acceleration and any creatures able to be tapped by Drum.

I certainly might be proven wrong, but I feel like this is too slow to be targetted hate for affinity. It's one of those cases where if you HAVE it in your sideboard you bring it in, but you shouldnt include it in your sideboard JUST for affinity. Unless you're playing mono-green or something. Even then just slam Creeping Corrosion.

How does manglehorn stop the copycat combo?
Because the token copies that Saheeli Rai makes are artifacts, which then come into play tapped.

Destory artifact, then all of the opponents artifacts get the curse of urabrask the hidden
And 1 CMC that shoots annoying 2 toughness stuff to exile.
Amazing set.
