Mind Spring

[Drayton99]

Is {Mind Spring} competitive in modern? For a control deck?

[DimirOverlord1300]

The problem is there's no reason to play it over {Sphinxs Revelation}

[Dmreiss]

It  is sorcery speed so it is not that good.  Sphynx is an instant, so you can tap out at the end of your oppenent's turn. Which is a ton better.

But I'm doing an Izzet control thing with no white. Any Izzet substitutions?

 {Blue Sun's Zenith} costs 1 more but is instant speed, which is important for control decks.

And it comes back. Superior IMO.

What about {Jace's Ingenuity}?

Don't make me vomit. Such a bad card.

It's a tournament format. More info here:

And yeah, this isn't the best place.

An eternal format (cards don't rotate) in which you can use any card from 8th Edition forward. Has a ban list.

If you're a pure control deck {Think Twice} is an option but if you want more of an X spell the Blue Sun is your best bet

Technically not eternal. Eternal formats include all cards from supplementary products. Modern doesn't. As such, Modern is just a non-rotating format.

Correct. Only cards in supplementary products are Modern legal if they have already been released in a Modern legal set

In modern, sure. But in standard... http://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/ptdtk/Top-8-decklists-2015-04-11 check out shota's deck and Adrian's deck
