Modern Horizons 3 Uncommons are RIDICULOUS! | EDHRECast 320

Love the focus on cards that aren't the signpost flashy stuff that people may miss.

The commons and uncommons in this set are something else, especially the new MDFC's! Between that and the Surveil Duals from earlier this year mana-bases are gonna be more complex than ever to build and strategize with, which I'm all for personally.

bounce lands and spells that bounce your own lands get better and better

Bounce Lands continue to be the most underrated lands. And now we have TWO guildless commons

Gift of the Viper on a Skullbriar deck is WILD

Just having the option of paying the 3 life for them to come in untapped is HUGE, even the mono-colored ones.

Speaking of Glimpse the Impossible: for all my fellow humans of taste who love Pia Nallar, Consul of Revival (all 27 or so of you), she got three new tools in MH3: Glimpse, Party Thrasher, and Unstable Amulet. Pia needed just a few more impulse-style/play from exile draw cards, and I think she finally got there. Also, Amulet is another redundant Impact Tremors-style effect for the deck.

The two-colour MDFCs are excellent for any deck that doesn't have a top-dollar manabase. You will most likely at least two enters-tapped lands or lands that usually enter tapped like the Snarls, where the added utility of an entire spell easily trumps something like cycling or scry 1.

When I first read Basking Broodscale I had to do a double take, it's a common that gives you spawn tokens for putting +1/+1 counters on it, so you are being rewarded for making it bigger with more mana to make it bigger. Also add it to the list of cards that go infinite with Rosie from LotR

Super excited to put all the new MDFCs into my Decks. The opportunity cost is just so los.

The fact that MDFC cards can enter untapped IS amazing (the monocolored ones). And the effects are not bad in the card costs. 4 mana removal in black? Not good, but not bad either. The blue "counter" and the black boggart are great. Also, the Golgari one is INCREDIBLE.

I like both sets of modal land/spell cards. I don't mind running tap lands, and so they basically allow me to pack backup options for things I might be a bit skint on. I suppose it's a matter of mindset. Like if you don't like tapped lands at all, that itself is the "backup" scenario, so if the front face isn't desired then why bother if the backup also isn't. But I like them as they allow squeezing in more niche effects like protection or removal or even just a bonus +1/+1 counter for the decks that may want such, without needing to commit to holding onto it in hand, especially for the expensive ones that can be made useful earlier.

I really appreciate podcast like this. Every has a “top ten power from blah blah blah” this is perfect!

I tried to be the "innovator" in my playgroup that ran decks with 32 lands and 8-10 MDFC's when ZNR came out, and quickly realized how out of tempo my decks were after that change. I probably won't go that wild again, but I'm happy to test the new ones out in a more modest split, likely 3-5 total in a deck. Having 50 total to choose from is amazing.

"i can probably put that in any deck" - yep that describes this set.

I know we all love EDH here but can we take a moment to appreciate how fun of a draft environment this set is thanks to all of these great commons and uncommons? I’ve been meaning to make a cube since getting back in and now I know I could just make a set cube of MH3 and have a great game night for friends.

Additional point about treacherous greed, doesn't have to be combat damage, pingers etc can proc its condition!👍

in my Nymris deck I play 3 MDFC's: Malakir Rebirth, Silundi Vision, Sink into Stupor + 1 Bounce Land and will test Deprive as land bounce option as well.

Since Dana has no use for those Ondu Inversions, he's more than welcome to send them all to me. The niche use of being behind and needing to clear all the shenanigans off the board comes up a lot. And I like knowing I have it, Hour of Devestation, or Devestating Mastery in my back pocket to handle almost any permanent based problem. That it lives in a land slot is just icing. Means I have it available, without needing to spend a spell slot on it. It's awesome.

One of my favorites is one I initially glossed over when I was first looking through the set - the mono-black enchantment Mindless Conscription. When it enters the battlefield and whenever you draw your third card each turn amass Zombies 3. Immediate include in my Rona, Herald of Invasion deck where the point is to not transform Rona and just use her to draw and discard cards every turn for a bunch of assorted draw and discard triggered effects. One of my favorites in that deck is Lazotep Channcelor which allows me to pay 1 mana whenever I discard to amass 2, which gets out of hand very quickly. Mindless Conscription just makes it get out of hand even faster.
