Elementals seem to be the best with this, since it also reduces the Evoke cost on many of them. Though, traditional Eldrazi could ramp up quick enough for Morophon to come out, then it could reduce the cost of all Devoid eldrazis, and buff all drones and scions.
EDIT: Also let you play spells of all colors alongside colorless eldrazis, which the titans wouldn't allow.
Base on Netflix version, the Belmont knows how to do bar fight. I'd go with Boros on this one, or add black to make Mardu so you can have a handsome legendary vampire (Sorin?) in your deck too.
My concern, is how many EDH staples would become extremely expensive because they’re suddenly legal in Modern.
Can’t think of an example atm, but it’s haunting.
Don't worry, because there are no examples.
Expensive cards used in EDH are already expensive because of EDH or reserve list. And even then, there's many substitutes available that deck building and having fun in EDH don't require massive budgets.
You should be concerned with new powerful cards that are printed that become expensive must haves.
Wouldn’t those expensive cards become even MORE expensive due to “Modernization”?
Phew, black was pretty underpowered in EDH and needed the boost.
Mono-black perhaps, but then again most mono-color is less popular than multi-color unless you have more cards like Endless Atlas. I don't mind seeing more cards returning to black's roots of "power at any cost", like Imp's Mischief and Stunning Reversal.
Ought to have limits, to maintain color identity. Black is a color with limitation, BUT it could break limitation with excessive cost. Phyrexian Tribute is a good example, and sacrificing creatures isn't necessary a bad thing for the color of graveyard.
lol, the poll is showing most meta is heavy on combo. The poll is still early of course, but I'm somehow unsurprised by the result, and a little disappointed.
7 mana to get at least the best card in your top 5 cast for free.
With seven mana, you ought to be able to cast something of that value. Because it's only top five cards of your library and because your opponent will likely separate the two most powerful cards, one might as well pay one more mana for Aminatou's Augury, which could easily net you 3+ cards Would've been more playable if it doesn't require such heft colored mana, at this time one should just go for Fact or Fiction, it's an instant and it doesn't exile the cards.
Online markets have been spiking the prices of some older cards with buyouts, so it satisfies me to no end seeing these people lose their investment due to key reprints.
This is one of my favorite sets, with so much flavor that it makes the game fun fun fun. Kirins, Mars, Epic spells, Legendary flips, Channel cards, etc, just so many things to build around. Cards these days serves functions more than flavor, and flavor is what entices most players to build decks.
Well done, I'm glad you made it clear that Mythics shouldn't be the sole contribution of valuable cards, and people should stop complaining about Mythics not being pricy, consider they don't show up as frequently as rares.
And personally I like the rhystic, land sac, and mana-free spells. If they power up this set a bit, they could very well be a go-to prison/stax expansion. And I think Prophecy's weakness is justified considered we just came from a horrendously underplaytested Urza's block, same reason why Kamigawa was criticized for its weaker overall power after Mirrodin. I personally prefer looking at an expansion without comparing power level, though I've always been a sucker for interesting mechanics like Hellbent and Forecast.
We've already 'returned' to it with supplemental products, but Maro has said pretty much the opposite about returning. That's why it's so low on the Rabiah Scale.
Frack, I was hoping descendant of Umezawa somehow return (with Kamigawa drizzles) to kick Bolas's arse again.
Back when WotC writes a lot of stories for each block, sigh, I miss that time. What Kamigawa lacked in card power it has tremendous amount of characters and lore, I love to return to it one day (which I believe Maro confirmed), I just hope they don't butcher it like Return to Ravnica and Battle for Zendikar.
Always love to read about other people's collection of the lore, well done!
And though Amonkhet was not as developed, it succeed in making people feel for the world, curious for its history. The last line of the chapter Endure gave me goosebumps.
But what do the people do after hearing about how Heliod acted out of color? I need more!
Very enjoyable read, thanks!
Heliod behaved very "white" in the story. White is the color of authority and rules, at times to the point of rigidity and tyranny. Heliod considered himself the big daddy of Gods, thus his position is not to be challenged, be it power or knowledge, even if such position was self-imposed by his ego.
Looking at Amonkhet gods after seeing their Theros counterparts, gotta say I much prefer worshiping the Amonkhet denizens, Theros Gods dastardly immaturity serves as good lessons and awful acquaintances, except perhaps Kruphix and Athreos.
Note that Morophon also reduces tribal spell cost, since it doesn't specify "creature".

With Modern Horizon coming up with more kicker spells, we might see Hallar more also.
I can already think of several decks that could use this one.
Seb, your art will return MtG to its former glory.

You're right, that'd be quite redundant, I will stick to V.3 for now.
