The state of the Modern Format.

Can anyone tell me what DRS is?

{Deathrite Shaman}. Ridiculous with fetches, can grind out matches, ramps, gains life, and blocks random 1/1s. All for one mana.

I wonder what wizards thought to themselves when they printed DRS?

Thanks.

They thought a 1 mana PW would be cool.  Instead they just made it a creature.  Funny thing is that it probably would be worse as a 1 mana PW

I have a foil {bloodbraid elf} just waiting to be unbanned. The day it happens(if it happens) I'm selling/trading it.

I'm with you. Five signed copies of DRS....

9 unsigned copies and still trading for more 😰

One of the guys at my LGS has 9 foils (one signed) and 27 regular ones

Simple. They only test Limited and Standard. They do not test other formats such as Modern or Legacy.

Which is a pretty big oversight. I'd love to do the testing for Modern.

that is not true. ....I have heard maro say they consider the effects of cards on eternal formats

Fact is when they print hundreds of new cards each year......some abusive power cards will slip through the cracks or some weird combo or synergy with old cards could be overlooked

I just want top unbanned so I can play miracles.

If they really wanna promote diversity, ban 85% of the fetch, shock, and similar lands. Every top deck I see it play against is only good because of the $800 worth of lands they play in 2 turns to set up a t3 win.

Banning lands would be shallow and dumb, you're saying this out of bitterness for a good format where you are tired of losing to one deck that combos on t3. If anything were to be banned my vote goes to {Splinter Twin} or {Summer Bloom)

Banning all but basics would be interesting to see.

Mono Black Devotion comes out of the shadows for another terrorizing season.

Mono Blue Devotion resurfaces for a tidal wave of victory.

Mono White Soul Sisters revives for another extensively long game.

RDW keeps on trucking.

Green devotion kinda sucks without {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx}.

Could be fun.

Actually a lot of pros want fetches banned for a cpl reasons main ones being:

1. Shuffling every turn is very time consuming sounds lame but it's so true

2. Mana is too good (this is less of an argument bc it's supposed to be good) but it's true players can't get greedy with splashes (RWG Burn splashing for cruise ..)
