Fist of Suns was definitely one of the first cuts I made in the precon because it was absolutely pointless. 5 mana is not a discount in a deck of creatures that are largely going to be 5-4 mana anyways. At least though it now has a cute interaction with Morophon. Now give us an actual dragon in Modern Horizons already and I mean one that's actually even remotely good.
The guy on Nature's Chant is so nonchalant about naturalizing that sword.
"Yawn another longsword. When's someone gonna try to point an Umezawa's Jitte or a Sword of Fire and Ice at me."
If only this guy answered the planar beacon. Like, "Ok we have gathered to strategize against the Dreadhorde but first...Wrenn & Six what the heck are you actually even supposed to be?!"
Ayula is basically the King of Skull Servants of Magic and I love it for that. I am a sucker for making infamously weak cards scary. Now let's hope those portal bear variants get reprints soon. I'd hate to see the price of Forest Bear after this.
Sarkhan, Dragonsoul at a glance looks like your typical awful intro deck walker but he is putting in work with my increasingly Sarkhan tribal Ur-Dragon build. The +2 is surprisingly effective against many tokens, mana dorks, and OH GOD NO dorks like Elvish Piper. His -3 has become so much more useful with the advent of no fun allowed ability walkers, and that last ability is a 3 turn clock in a dragon deck. This Intro Deck piece o' junk is a 3 turn clock. That's like feeling threatened by a Mahamoti Djinn or a Shivan Dragon. Like, unlike Sarkhan Unbroken he can realistically ult. The only things that are a bummer is I feel he's 1 mana too high and that he didn't get a tutor card. I can't believe an intro deck walker is putting in work for me, at least in a casual setting.
I want to say Morophon might have a slot in my Ur-Dragon but like, the creature himself is kinda underwhelming. I mean I suppose I could have a pretty explosive turn if I have a couple tribal discounters out in addition to the Ur-Dragon's eminence ability. Ehhh maybe I'll try it? My hopes are up for other solid changelings that can benefit from the eminence discount and give me perhaps a realizable curve.
Casting Heroic Intervention in response to someone trying to save another player from being killed by me. And then looking at that guy like "Guess who's next".
Also yeah glad I bought like, 5 of them way back when they like, less than a quarter of its current price.
