Reality Fracture is fully spoiled and, let me tell you, it looks like a super powerful set!
Here are my top 10 cards for Modern.
Rather watch than read?
10.
What makes this card so powerful is that we get to tutor out any land from our deck, not just basics.
Who needs Scapeshift? Play Hexhaven Invigorator plus Blasphemous Act and burn your opponent out with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and 12 Mountains.
I don’t think this card will be good enough for Amulet Titan decks, but is not the challenge for multicolor decks that it used to be. Some other deck will likely find a way to break this card.
9.
I see this as a sideboard card for Izzet Prowess decks to help against the mirror and other aggro strategies. 5 toughness plus flying and vigilance mean it’s good on defense, while prowess synergizes with everything else the deck does.
Furthermore, they should be able to reliable cast this on turn 2 thanks to Mishra’s Bauble, Gut Shot, and Mutagenic Growth.
8.
Another card for the sideboard of Black decks looking for hard answers to big or indestructible creatures. It’s a budget option for Dismember.
7.
Another card I can’t wait to play in Modern. It’s lack of haste makes me sad, but its CMC and stats all check out, while the ramp it gives us will help churn out our next big threat.
I plan on playing this in my Gruul Dragons deck alongside Draconic Visitor!
6.
Mill is the obvious home for this card, but I actually think it can be a powerful card draw spell for decks that are good at milling themselves for value.
Stitcher’s Supplier fueling a Murktide deck comes to mind. As early as turn 3, we can cast Stitcher’s Supplier, sacrifice it to Phyrexian Tower for , then tap our third land for and draw 6 cards.
Eith the printing of Darklight Phoenix, this card could slot in a deck playing Hedron Crab to mill itself.
5.
Boros Energy is the tier deck that can take the most advantage of this card, but lifegain strategies of all types are rejoicing at the printing of Enlightened Confidant.
Any low-to-the-ground deck full of must-answer threats can play this mythic as a card draw engine thanks to the fact that it has lifelink itself alongside 2 power.
4.
Big mana Eldrazi decks will find room for this thanks to its ability to ramp alongside its synergy with Ugin’s Labyrinth.
I don’t think Eldrazi decks need this Emrakul to win, but it’s the new hotness, so expect to see it.
3.
Our first empower Jace card. How good will this new mechanic prove to be? I’m going to say it now, and probably again, it will be busted. There will be bannings. Not of this card, but of at least one.
The ability to answer an opponent’s Jace or best creature alongside drawing a card while forcing opponents to take a turn off to answer the Jace token make this card very powerful.
I see a Control deck built around this mechanic being competitive in Modern.
2.
The Charms
I’m most interested in Konstrari Charm to help my Gruul Dragons against Psychic Frog, but each bring the kind of flexibility and power alongside a low CMC that will ensure they see play across formats.
1.
This card is extremely busted and I fully expect it to get banned. Landfall decks will have not problem growing their Jace token to massive proportions quickly, ensuring they draw an extra card every turn.
And this isn’t even taking into consideration the other cards that empower Jace. Cards like Countersculpt, Way of the Cryomancer, and Way of the Warlord can all form a powerful core set of cards to help abuse this mechanic alongside Avatar of Burgeoning Echoes.
But this card is good enough not to care about that. It can slot into a X/U/G deck as a must-answer value engine alongside must-answer threats.
What do you think? What cards from Reality Fracture do you see having an impact on Modern? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for reading and watching. I’m Johnny Cycles. I’ll catch y’all on the next one.
