Some suggestions Id like to know others opinions on...
Ive thought about adding the following cards in the deck, but im unsure if they'll be either good enough or staying on theme
- Loyal Retainers
- Recruiter of the Guard
- Archangel of Thune
- Thalia's Lancer
- Steelshaper's Gift
- Emeria Angel
- Retreat to Emeria
There is also the help Im looking for of cards ALREADY in my Main 99 that could be removed/switched for other things that are felt as filler or there are better options.

I think it would be INCREDIBLE if Wizards were to reprint 2 Filter Lands in each Commander deck. I know the chances of this are about 0%, but their printing would make sure they stay nice and low in price as theyre starting to creep up again, on top of saving land room in the upcoming Modern Masters 2017. We're gonna need some kind of lands to make 4-color Precon Commander decks to work.
I fully except each Commander deck will have a brand new land that comes into play tapped, but taps for 1 of 4 different colors.
Got 2 Boxes with a Friend (both of us investing roughly ~$220ea)
We managed to pull
1x Foil Tarmogofy
1x Foil Dark Confidant
1x Karn Liberated
1x Blitterblossom
2x Mox Opal
2x Tezzeret, the Seeker
1x Primeval Titan
1x Kozelik, Butcher of Truth
All-in-All...the boxes were pretty amazing. Still need to look for Elesh Norn, Vendillion Cliche, and Ulamog, but I cannot be disappointed with the pulls. Was able to trade other stuff and grab an Ugin, All Is Dust, Foil Electrolzye, Foil Mana Leak, Foil Vapor Snag, and Foil Remand.
Community: "Serum visions is too much and requires a reprint for ease of building. We need more copies and at a cheaper price. Its a common, $10 is too much. Please WoTC, help!
WoTC: "Ok fine. Have it as an FMN promo, making it only more expensive."
More proof that Wizards is slowly and slowly becoming more and more like Konami.
**** that. This set was made to make Modern more accessible, not make a balanced limited environment. Thats Wizards cheap way of saying "We're not reprinting everything to make you have to buy the older stuff".
That was total sarcasm in case you couldn't notice.
Im just extremely upset and disappointed at how terrible this set is compared to MM1, yet its more expensive.

This set is more of a financial disappointment than Dragons of Tarkir. I actually might consider canceling my preorders now. THIS SET DOES NOTHING FOR CONSTRUCTED FORMATS. Its terribly designed for limited play, and the big name cards that would help out Legacy/Modern/Commander players are all Mythic, which means it wont help the problem of their cost and availability. This set was literally made to bring Remand down to $8-10ea, and Noble Hierarch down to $30-40ea.
NOTHING ELSE IN THIS SET has the proper rarity for impact its cost or the playability to require buying this set for.
What Modern decks play Niv-Mizzet the Firemind or Ghost Council?
Im happy that we get another chance at a foil of this art, but i hate that it doesnt have the math flavor text. Id absolutely use a foil version of this art with the math flavor text over the duel deck foil.
Looks like Jace, Liliana, Chandra, and Im going to guess the last one is Nissa, as it seems Green with leafs and trees. It would also appear as though the playmats will be their Planeswalker forms rather than Creature forms, as the Liliana mat you can clearly see is the Planeswalker art.
Another Rare Snapcaster printing would drop his price back down to 2013 prices (around $25-30ea)
Always looking to improve the build and remove any cards that are good, but could be replaced for more synergy or balance.

Mortar Pod. Maybe a Batterskull reprint too...
