I would love a Temur Energy commander. I came back to magic during that time and loved playing that deck, so it would be sick if it was possible to build a commander deck that could mimic it.
Malestrom Wanderer is my suggestion. I run a nostalgic 60-card Temur energy deck that he's absolutely nutter-butters in.
Pretty cool idea, but are you allowed to have a 60 card deck in Commander?

I would love it if the old border just came back permanently. It has a much better high fantasy aesthetic in my opinion.
Yeah me too, but they have been taking big steps away from the old school high fantasy style for a while now. So it's nice to see them put a couple of old school cards out now.
It's mediocre in Eldrazi Tron, which can chain multiples with Expedition Map but often would rather play something more powerful than making chumps.
It might have promise in other Mishra's Bauble decks, decks with Bomat Courier, and even Green Tron (which needs to mulligan hands with no Tron pieces anyway, unlike Eldrazi Tron, and could use the increased consistency in Turn 4 Trons), but not producing coloured mana can bite. (If my testing is any indication, unless I make Constructs often enough, I'd rather run cantrip lands like Nurturing Peatland if all this can tutor for is Mishra's Bauble.)
But it's not trash if Urza's Saga can tutor for something you want, and it's especially not trash if you can make Constructs with it. And if Stoneforge Mystic is any indication, you might be able to get away with only 2 tutor targets.
It's way too slow for Green and Eldrazi Tron. Both variants have way better payoffs that they need to get to by the time you get anything from it.
I agree that this might be too slow for Eldrazi Tron (although it can actually make 3/3 Constructs vaguely reliably with it), although Green Tron might want Urza's Saga as an enabler land much more than a payoff land (it enables Turn 4 Tron at the cost of your Turn 3 Tron by tutoring for Expedition Map on Turn 3 if you played it on Turn 1). Similarly to Colossus Hammer Time, a significant amount of the value of Urza's Saga in that deck might be for its tempo tutor instead of its CA tokens.
Maybe if there's some sort of change in the meta, but as of right now, I seriously still don't see why I'd want to put it in my Tron decks. It's just a lot of do nothing how I see it. Either way, I like the design idea of the card and I'm nostalgic to most stuff that says "Urza" on it hehe.

I don't think complexity keeps folk out of Modern, the price for building a deck does.
Modern is my favourite format, but I'm sad it costs so much to even get into one deck let alone if you want to have two-three cool ones.
Yeah, there's always that fear looming. We haven't really seen anything from the set so far, but the initial reveals have been good.
Also, I know this is a set made for modern, so the power level has to be higher, but if Strixhaven's power level is anything to go by, then maybe they are starting to tone it down a little bit.
Again, I'm hoping for some nice answers (just not Wasteland hehe) and not anything broken. Counterspell won't break the format, but it's one of the much needed answers and I bet all blue players are screaming in joy right now hehe.
I agree with too much stuff, but if anything, Modern Horizons 2 is the set I'm excited for since Modern is my favourite format and it also gave some cool cards for Commander.
As long as they don't print anything that kills tron, then I basically don't care about what else they print now that we got Counterspell hehe.
Yeah, that's not going to help prices at all
Either way I'm excited to see the set, but I'd be more than happy if the whole set is bad but the Counterspell rumours are true hehe.
Even if Counterspell is in it decisions like these are becoming more frequent and I'm liking them less and less as time goes on.
I'm really excited to see what's in the set, but man... they're just pushing so much product out, there's barely a week without some sort of spoilers and new release.
And sad to hear about the potential price increase again, but I guess we'll find out soon.
The other unfortunate thing is that there seems to be a lower print run of draft boosters, Strixhaven levels of draft boosters, but plenty of collectors.

I for one welcome our Phyrexian overlods
Couldn't they technically make a "horror dog/cat"? A phyrexian dog or cat.
I hope not, I think Modern has the potential to be the home of Counterspell. What other formats are using it? Commander?
Totally agree.
