I wonder if leyline would still be the most played card if we didn't have the london mulligan. I feel like it got a huge power boost from that.

Also, Hogaak is a good deck, but it seems very odd to be playing 2 leylines mainboard to be honest. I can see about ?half? ish of the pros running Hoogaak seem to be running it, but for a non Mythic Championship it just seems a little odd what with over half the top 8 consisting of Jund, E-Tron, Humans, Burn, Tron, and UW. (Though it is somewhat useful against UW)

I think Urza overperformed mostly because it destroys hogaak, and also because nobody was geared towards it (Jund was only running 1 k-command and 1 ouphe in some cases, which isn't nearly enough). I'm curious if it'll just fade like every other prison deck we've made though.

Also, lovely to see Hardened Scales give a gasp of performance. Deck is still pretty solidly t2 now though.

I dunno man. My guess is that the Hogaak deck will stay pretty much the same, and still be very competitive. I'm not 100% sure what the next best replacement for Bridge is, but Narcomoeba has worked well enough for me. Haunted Dead is also pretty interesting.

Neither Narcomoeba nor Haunted Dead do anything close to bridge. Carrion Feeder and Altar of Dementia are very meh without bridge and those cards certainly don't help. Also, a big problem without bridge is that a deck can now just eventually match you card for card.

Deck will certainly look very different or just not exist really.

Moving away from speculation about why they banned bridge, now that they have I'm very interested in how the deck itself transforms. Off the top of my head, a lot of cards are much less useful: (Carrion Feeder, Altar of Dementia). I vaguely remember a "hollowvine" build from a while back, does hogaak improve that significantly?

Also outside of that, what do we expect now? Izzet and UW were already very strong, and they've only got more toys.

So as far as upgrading dragons goes, these would be the most efficient, and are also pretty cheap:
Glorybringer has haste and kills something optionally (1$)
Verix Bladewing is a really nifty 4/4 for 4 which also can be 2 4/4's for 7 (1$)

These might also be useful:
Thundermaw Hellkite is a little bigger (2$)
Thunderbreak Regent is a 4 mana 4/4 which hurts them if they target it(3$)

Also there is some very good dragon based removal:
Spit Flame can become a reusable killer (0.35$)
Draconic Roar can kill things and other players (0.2$)

For mana ramp, consider:
Whisperer of the Wilds

Or even Land Ramp like:
Rampant Growth
Explore
Farseek
Khalni Heart Expedition
Harrow

Typically these are better than creatures which make dragons cheaper because you can use the lands on everything and they dont die.

Trajan, First Among Kings 2UU

Creatures you control have basic landwalk. (Creatures you control are unblockable as long as defending player controls a basic land)

When the royal treasury overflowed with lucre, Trajan built neither castles nor monuments. No exotic animals graced his estate, and none visited his dining table. Instead, he built roads across the whole of Meletis. And so it became the center of the world.

Assuming the theme is Spiders, but also kind of accepting of miscellaneous "insect, vermin" type flavor, you could do a budget -1/-1 counter deck along the lines of:



Basically you have a bunch of stuff that synergizes with -1/-1 counters, which happens to make insects or do something gross. Other cards that are vaguely interesting like Splendid Agony work too.

EDIT: Replaced Die Young, it doesnt do what I thought haha.
