I've been playing more and more magic recently, and have been even maintaining both a modern deck (izzet murktide sorry) and a pioneer deck (arclight Phoenix though it's not suuuuper strong rn) I don't really play commander because unfortunately none of my friends IRL actually play with me!
Was just curious if anyone else had been doing anything in MTG recently, or had any thoughts on the new cards coming in the Lord of the Rings set. Personally, as someone who doesn't play commander, it doesn't seem super impactful on Modern, though I'm hardly an expert on card evaluation so maybe someone else could (though there's a counter on creatures with MV under 2 for just one blue so maybe that'll be worth picking up)
Right now booster draft format is getting more and more polished each day. Many people said March of the Machine is one of top 5 set to draft, after saying it the same for Dominaria United last year and before that, Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. This also helps people who build their own custom limited set (cube) and commander to find their niche getting more and more supported. I like the direction of this game going on limited design.
The new blue spell is great by stopping etb effect unlike Fatal Push.
I've heard pretty good stuff about most limited environments lately, though tbh I haven't regularly drafted in ages, not really my jam.
Agreed! Though I think it is an option for slots where you'd have like spell snare or something over slots with your removal, because it feels pretty bad on the draw. Also most 1 and 2 drops don't have insane etbs or anything, at least in modern.
