Just WOW, between this, Mongoose and the Black Force, spoilers this day have been phenomenal. Definitely removed the sour taste after yesterday's mythic changeling fiasco.
What? Am I reading their reasoning right? Daze made all games less interactive and reduced play-around moments? Talk about a stretch there.
Gush of course was a needed ban, but not so sold on Daze, let alone Gitaxian Probe. They should've banned just Gush and maybe one or the other two and wait it out instead of doing such sweeping changes, specially since they're still spoiling Modern Horizons.
Wow, not even 24 hours since MODERN Horizons spoiler started and they're already giving us Commander trash mythics, and one not even particularly good. I know there has to be some bulk and there are some cards for commander, but come on, they could have been secondary like the 5 color fetchland. Commander has a specialized product every year anyways.
Not even 24 hrs in and we have incessant b****ing about the product contents. Why even play this game if is all you do is complain? You’re like the definition of insanity, keep coming back, looking for different results, and fail to find them. Time after time.
...trash mythic
.
Troll game, 0/10. Probably will be the most sought after card in the set.
At this point I simply believe you to be a WotC shill and will for the first time ever in like 6 years use the ignore button, no one in their right mind would defend blunder after blunder but apparently that's all you do, so I refuse to believe you're not getting paid for that. You never have any point to be made or any argument to defend other than "No BuT U *****iNg ThEy Do No WrOnG!" which I find incredibly useless contributions.

Currently, I can't buy them for gems at the cosmetic store, rending some of my decks just short of one or two cards from being fully "foiled" which irks me to no end. Is there some other way to get missed styles?
You're definitely hearing wrong. They didn't say SFM would break the format. They said it would decrease diversity and homogenize fair decks to play SFM or most likely fade. Therefore it wouldn't benefit from unbanning her, because at the same time she isn't much of a clock to the fast, linear decks.
As for Twin---I really think Twin would be forced to go Grixis for fatal push, at least in this meta. Bolt is bad, and threats got bigger throughout the years.
Since they won't unban Deathrite Shaman to fight graveyard strategies, what about something like this in Modern Horizons?
Liferite Cleric(R/W) Creature - Dwarf Cleric T: Exile target land card from a graveyard. Search your library for a Plains card, reveal it and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library. R, T: Exile target instant or sorcery card from a graveyard. Liferite Cleric deals 2 damage to each opponent. W, T: Exile target creature card from a graveyard. You gain 2 life.
2/1
Teferi, Gideon and Domri look all potentially playable. Teferi's passive and his +1 are both kinda good, and his -3 are two modes of Cryptic Command, so I wouldn't be surprised if he sees play. Domri shortens the clock for RGx creature decks, accelerates them while providing uncounterable, can be cascaded off of Bloodbraid Elf and his -2 is removal. Gideon's pretty good and can tick up while buffing your creatures and then Vindicate something, only downside is that he's more vulnerable to creature removal than he's ever been.
EDIT: Also big mana decks like Tron can lock you out of the game by simply playing Karn and using his -2 to bring a singleton Mycosynth Lattice from the board, so there's that.
I think Nahiri will be the RW Rare Walker in order for her to be on par with Sorin, and Huatli will be the uncommon RW since she's just some random with no stakes on the story whatsoever. Hat lady or even Jianng can probably be GW. Also Sarkhan's probs gonna be RB since we only have Angrath in that color pair and he was almost Jund on DTK. Also Gideon's a Rare and not a Mythic since he only has 2 abilities. Narset and Dovin will probably be both uncommon, on UW and one mono U.
Also since it's Davriel's debut I fully expect him to at least be the UB Rare with Ashiok taking the UB Uncommon slot.
My main worry is that we already get threads about how the newest set being spoiled is the worst set ever / has not any good cards. That's been with mythics and rares. With commons and uncommons being spoiled, how exciting most of these cards can be?
Most of the chaff in each set are variations of existing card with a dash of flavour and the set mechanics jammed in them.
You mean staunch WotC defenders won't be able to sing the old "come on guys wait until the final days there might be some gems in the draft chaff!" song and then dissappear when the full image gallery is up? That's a really big plus for me, honestly.
That said, it's kinda hard to screw up a set with 36 planeswalkers (and perhaps some other chase cards, including but not limited to universal walker removal on the cheap), but I wouldn't put it past them.
I've seen Invocation Threads of Disloyalty as low as 13€ on MCM. I've got no particular interest them, but they seem super cheap, and not bad at all since they can take a Shadow, a TiTi or a Goyf (lol). Also Shatterstorm is around 20€, and I might get some for Storm to swap for some number of Abrade and other things for the Whir Prison and Affinity matchups. What do you think?
Gush of course was a needed ban, but not so sold on Daze, let alone Gitaxian Probe. They should've banned just Gush and maybe one or the other two and wait it out instead of doing such sweeping changes, specially since they're still spoiling Modern Horizons.

- Rend Flesh -> Ob Nixilis's Cruelty
- Goldmeadow Harrier -> Law-Rune Enforcer
- Ambuscade -> Band Together
- Generator Servant -> Burning Prophet
- Oketra's Avenger -> Trusted Pegasus
- Ghoulcaller's Accomplice -> Lazotep Reaver
On a watchlist (in order of interest):
- Ahn-Crop Invader
- Callous Dismissal
- Spark Reaper
- Kronch Wrangler
- Vivien's Grizzly
- Invading Manticore What's the consensus on this one? It's been pretty good for me in it's own limited, and in our environment it's a curve topper with a good body that comes with a 2/2 attached
With the addition of Trusted Pegasus to the cube I'm also tempted to revisit Trained Condor to go alongside Heavenly Qilin, Pegasus Courser and Aerial Guide for a massive amount of fliers that grant flying. On the same note, Stitched Mangler and Master of Diversion for a critical amount of tempo tappers is also something I've been considering for a while, but all the cuts I can possibly make are archetype cards.

Just like Wild Nacatl did for aggro and Bitterblossom did for Faeries and Ancestral Vision did for control and Jace, the Mind Sculptor did for Blue and...
Liferite Cleric (R/W)
Creature - Dwarf Cleric
T: Exile target land card from a graveyard. Search your library for a Plains card, reveal it and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
R, T: Exile target instant or sorcery card from a graveyard. Liferite Cleric deals 2 damage to each opponent.
