This includes Persist and Unmarked Grave, as well as the newly introduced creatures they cheat in, Archon of Cruelty and Serra's Emissary. Coming in seventh place is the Modern Horizons 2 reanimator package. Ok, I know this is cheating, but it’s my list and I make the rules. While not perfect in all matchups, Tasha’s Hideous Laughter has earned its spot and can be sideboarded out when needed. While potent against several popular archetypes, Laughter suffers against decks with high average mana values like Cascade, Tron, Belcher, and Yorion Pile. This almost ensures Laughter exiles multiple key cards needed to assemble your win. Amulet has 35 cards with a mana value of zero, and an additional nine cards have a mana value of one. Laughter is also potent against the fan-favorite Amulet Titan. This is the burn equivalent of roughly eight damage from a single spell. That's the mill equivalent of a three-mana burn spell dealing 13 damage! Similarly, Death’s Shadow decks feature roughly 50 pips which translates to a median of 23 cards. Tasha’s Hideous Laughter will exile a median of 35 cards out of Hammer Time. Hammer Time in particular is wildly susceptible to the spell, with a total pip count of roughly 40 depending on the build. Laughter was underestimated at first as players didn't quite do the math on how many cards 20 mana actually translated into or how low the curve in Modern has become.įor example, decks featuring Lurrus of the Dream-Den as a companion account for 35% of the metagame and have a low curve by definition. The first non- Modern Horizons 2 card on my list, Tasha's Hideous Laughter, is a new staple in the Mill archetype. Even still, its effects on Modern are apparent and it’s a key component to blue-based tempo decks, placing it in a respectable ninth place. Because of this, Murktide was downgraded from a near-unanswerable threat to simply a strong one. The combination of threats needing disparate removal meant the UR decks could steal games they had no business winning.Įventually, deckbuilding converged on bounce spells like Dead // Gone, pre-emptive answers like Endurance, and unconditional removal such as Terminate. In the early weeks of Modern Horizons 2 Modern, deck builders struggled to identify unilateral ways of dealing with large threats like Murktide, while also having low-cost answers to Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Dragon's Rage Channeler. However, the dragon pushed it entirely out of playability.
Cards like Fatal Push, Prismatic Ending, Heartless Act, Lightning Bolt, and Unholy Heat cannot kill this massive dragon.Īt the time of Murktide’s printing, Heartless Act saw significant play as Modern’s least conditional black removal spell. Its special combination of Delve, +1/+1 counters and sheer size allows it to dodge several common removal spells in the format. However, unlike Tombstalker, Murktide pitches to Force of Negation and comes with a larger stat block. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.What a difference a color shift and 14 years of power creep can make! Murktide Regent is ostensibly a blue Tombstalker in that they are both flying delve creatures castable for two colored pips.
