The gods. Especially the dual colored ones. You'd think as powerful as they can be and with three color decks leading the way these days they'd at least be a one of here and there. But it seems like they get no play. I'm a little surprised at that honestly.

I think the gods are underplayed Athreos, god of passage seems really good and is cheap to play and the cards that kept it from seeing play early on have rotated, like Xathrid necromancer. Heliod, god of the sun seems playable to me too, cheap reliable token maker.
The thing is, wedge decks don't have enough devotion to turn on the gods. And most of those gods only start to do things if the game runs long.
Karametra, God of Harvests might be valuable if the game runs to turn 9 and she 'draws' you 4 cards by tutoring out lands. Kruphix, God of Horizons is pretty pointless if you can just use Nykthos to produce a ton of mana, instead of spending several turns.
I'm surprised know one has broken Altar of the brood in modern yet. Maybe with the recent changes in modern more people will start to brew and figure this one out.
Personally, I think that Neutralizing Blast is an underrated card, and we have yet to see how much of an impact the card will have. Aside from countering Siege Rhino, it also counters what I believe will be one of the most dangerous cards in the format, Silumgar, the Drifting Death. It also counters Jeskai Ascendancy with no downside. Overall, I feel this card will not be a main deck card, but will be a sideboard all-star in the strongest sense of the word. There are enough multicolored cards which present enough of a threat to do so.
I actually got beaten 2 weeks ago by a weird Brimaz + Rabblemaster Altar of the Brood deck. I'd stall the board and he'd mill me out. But I was playing green-blue devotion which is slow and has no removal, just tons of beef. Against other decks I can't see Altar of the Brood really working.

I'm going to run Neutralizing Blast in my sideboard, no doubt.

I don't see it. Negate and Disdainful Stroke are just going to hit more that's relevant, I think. Abzan Aggro is the only deck that runs enough gold to be worth it, and even then, you're just using it as a less color intensive Nullify (that still misses Wingmate Roc).

there's a really terrible deck that uses this card with lantern of insight to fateseal your opponents. but it's really terrible. terrible.
your definition is not entirely correct. Something underrated is something that is rated really low.
I don't mean to sound like a jerk but you're literally just wrong about the meaning of that word. You think it means something that it just plain doesn't mean.
It's an understandable mistake, because it sounds like it might mean what you think it means, but it doesn't.
Chord of Calling and Xenagos, the Reveler, I feel like both of these cards should be seeing more play
Chord of Calling I feel is only really applicable for Mono Green Devotion, or decks that run very heavy G and one other color. As for Xenagos, the Reveler I could not say either way.
I honestly forgot Dissipate was in standard... I mean sure reanimator is a thing now but the scry 1 from Dissolve is SOOO helpful. I could see running both though in a heavy control deck.
Joking aside, the two Ajanis (Journey into Nyx and M15) seem good, but I never run across them. Brimaz + Steadfast seems kinda bonkers.

Don't laugh at altar of the brood. there's a killer deck for that card - i'm sure of it.
DTT and TC see tons of play
Altar is only good in one deck - Ascendency Combo as a 1 of. There's no reason to play it in anything else
Warden of the First Tree because he seems so good early and late game. He'll be put up to the test in the coming weeks.
Wildcall- A colorless X/X for X with potential upside that fills any point in your curve 2+. This card may sleep for awhile if it is indeed good.
Edit: As of the recent Star City, Frontier Siege and Temur Ascendancy seemed to be the correct answers. Cheers!
Underrated means a card is considered to be worse than it actually is. Even if it's considered to be good, it can be in actuality incredibly great.

Thanks you very much DarkNightCavalier for the Sig.
