Summary

  • Power is focused on archetypal synergies at common and uncommon levels, not rare bombs. Prioritize lower-rarity cards.
  • Kappa Cannoneer shines despite color limitations, so splash it if possible.
  • Ugin's Binding offers mass bounce at no cost, and can lead to hopeless games with an overloaded graveyard ability.

Modern Horizons 3 isn't a particularly bomby 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering set, instead concentrating most of its power on archetypal synergies at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the common and uncommon level. That's not to say there aren't any bombs in the Limited format, rather that the lower-rarity cards keep pace with the average power level at rare.

What To Buy For Magic: The Gathering's Modern Horizons 3

Grab your Modern and Commander decks, these Magic: The Gathering products ꧂are going to give🌌 you a huge upgrade.

This set can be a little sneaky with its rares, though. Some of the Limited bombs have walls of text that can be hard to decipher, and some feel out-of-place for the color or color-pair they represent. There's still enough raw power packed into these cards that you should probably consider taking them over just about anything else, especially early in a Draft.

11 𝓡 ⛎ Kappa Cannoneer

Turtley Awesome, But In The Wrong Colors

Kappa Cannoneer Magic: The Gathering card

The only thing holding Kappa Cannoneer back is its color. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Red-black is the explicit artifact color pair in the set, with little support in other colors to create a true artifact deck. The colorless artifacts don't even help much, since they're either deck-specific or altogether bad.

Cannoneer was planted in the set as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a new-to-Modern card, but an astute drafter will go out of their way to splash it if possible. Mana fixing's plentiful in the set, and once on board, this creature's nearly impossible to kill or even block. Take it and find a way, no Kappa.

10 Kozilek, The Br🔴oken Reality 👍

Close To An Instant Win For Colorless Decks

Koliek, the Broken Reality Magic: The Gathering

Eldrazi ramp is a top-tier deck, and the expensive Eldrazi creatures are feasible to cast with a little work. That means having a realistic plan to make sure you don't die early on, and ensuring you have 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ample sources of ramp in your deck.

Kozilek, The Broken Reality is the best of the three Eldrazi Titans, and a fantastic finisher for your ramp decks. Kozilek will build a board on its own while drawing some cards. Sometimes you'll have enough colorless creatures already that the +3/+2 from Kozilek will end the game on the spot.

9 Detective's Phoenix

Great Card, No Evidence Needed

Detective's Phoenix Magic: The Gathering card

It doesn't take an undercover detective to see how great this Phoenix is. A 2/2 flier with haste is a good place to start, though it leaves some room to be desired. But desire not! Detective's Phoenix has massive upside with its powerful bestow ability.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网: Magic: The Gathering – Wha🎐t Is Bestow?

Bestow is one of Magic: The Gathe🦩ring's most encha🀅nting mechanics.

With bestow, you can pay a single red mana to give a creature you control +2/+2, flying, and haste, though 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:you'll have to collect some evidence to do so. Even better, the Phoenix can be bestowed from the graveyard, making it a recursive threat your opponent's going to have a tough time dealing with.

8 🧔 Genku, Future Shaper

Tamiyo's Husband Puts In Work

Genku, Future Shaper Magic: The Gathering card

Genku's the type of card that just gets better every time you read it. It's a little off-theme for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the intended blue-white deck of the format, which is billed as 'energy fliers,' but Genku's inherently good enough to be worth playing without any archetypal synergy.

Once you have a Genku in your pile, look for permanents that naturally put themselves in the graveyard, like Landscapes, or even something as simple as a Vexing Bauble. Make as many tokens as you can, then lean on Genku's activated ability to put your creatures over the top.

7 Six

No Wrenn Here

6 Six - Magic: The Gathering card

Short names don't award any bonus points, but being an immovable force in a Limited format certainly does. Six isn't unbeatable, but it needs to be beaten immediately. Allow Six to persist into the lategame and there's no chance you're keeping up with its retrace ability.

Retrace essentially lets Six turn any land in your hand into a permanent from your graveyard, whཧich can grind out just about any game. Six also plays defense well with four toughness and reach, and also has an attack trigger that can stockpile extra lands for retrace.

5 Ugin's Binding

Mass Bounce For No Cost

Ugin's Binding Magic: The Gathering card

Ugin's Binding is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an overpriced bounce spell on the front end, followed by a free 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:overloaded Cyclonic Rift from the graveyard. It can definitely lead to some hopeless games, where you see it in the graveyard and know it's coming, but have no real counterplay to it.

Modern Horizons 3 has some pricy Magic: The Gathering cards in it, if you're wond🌃ering which takes the top slot,𒅌 we've got you covered.

The real issue 🍨is just how easy it is to trigger the graveyard ability. There are tons of colorless spells with mana value seven or greater, and the means to cast those spells reliably. That goes from powerful rares to several common creatures that fulfill this graveyard condition without even trying.

4 Aether Revolt ꩲ

Roll Credits!

Aether Revolt Magic: The Gathering card

If you've read Aether Revolt and decided it wasn't worth the early pick, you've been missing out on a top-tier buildaround. It's only a true buildaround in the sense that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:you need a lot of energy to support it, but that's plentiful in the set.

All you have to 💃do is generate energy and your opponent will die in quick order. A simple Galvanic Discharge allows you to throw around three damage wherever you please on top of the original effect. Fulfilling the revolt requirement will amplify your damageꦇ, letting a single Discharge deal five damage to two targets.

3 Eldrazi Line🐻breaker

Great Solo, Awesome With Others

Eldrazi Linebreaker Magic: The Gathering card

Eldrazi Linebreaker skirts past the other bombs because it doesn't look like a stone-cold killer at first glance. 3/3 for three, difficult mana cost to manage, you have to be loaded up on Eldrazi to make it matter... what's so great about it?

These fiends fr🌊omꦬ the Blind Eternities make a frightening Magic: The Gathering Commander deck.

Turns outt that last part's a bit of a lie. With no additional creatures in play, Linebreaker's already a 4/3 haste/trample for three since it always counts itself. Add in any number of other Eldrazi and the card becomes certifiably broken, granting an even larger buff to itself, or one of those other creatures.

2 Phlage, Titan Of Fire's Fury

No Escape From This Titan

Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury Magic: The Gathering card

Phlage is an easy nut to crack. Many players have experience playing with Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath and Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger. Phlage follows the same exact design parameters as its predecessors, trading out the specific color requirements and its enter-the-battlefield effect.

Phlage's three-damage ability gives you some powerful inevitability in a Limited game. You can control the board early on, then ride it to victory 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:once you're able to escape it. A 6/6 attacking with a free Ligh꧟tning Helix each turn will make quick work of an🌟y opponent.
