The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Until the next thing becomes the deck to hate and people demand bannings.
Yes, but that cycle happens every year, no? Someone, somewhere, will find something to break, and everyone will complain. That is competitive gaming >_>
I'm just excited to see a format where I'm not playing the old Standard decks 1billion times again. I'd like people to learn to use their brains a bit and come up with new ideas, like 12post.
Completely broken? Yup.
New and hilarious? Yes.
I loved it, even though I never played it. It was a great idea.
Nobody for a minute think zoo is no longer a tier 1 deck in modern. It is!
Kird ape and gob king guide should be able to do a similar job as nacatl. The deck is not dead. Just like CawBlade wasn't dead when jace and stoneforge was banned.
If the store owner says that I can't trade in the premises, I'll just go outside. If he says that I can't trade within 10m of his premises, I'll go to 11 meters. If he says that he doesn't want to see me trading, I will put a basket over his head and continue trading.
Yes, he's a local legend. He's only known to take his clothes off before he goes into the Ladies' Lockerroom. Nobody knows what he does in there because he's invisible, but it's almost certainly tons of masturbating.

Seriously, wizards should publish an official document regarding their vision for each format and how they are gonna achieve it.
It was well said before the aim of the B&R list for modern is to stop turn 3-4 kills from happening, and now they are managing the diversity of the format as well, all in a sudden.
It is just a pure mess for players to buy cards for a supposedly "eternal" format, and bam, your cards are useless now.
Please, let us plan well ahead. Players do not have a magical wallet that can print money unlikely your printing machine that can just cough cards out of it.
That's unfortunate I was really hoping to see ancestral vision, jace, umezawa's jitte and golgari grave-troll unbanned.
Modern is still a lame format for control players
Same here, I was hoping to see ancestral vision & jitte unbanned. But least we don't need to be on the receiving end of the punishing grove combo anymore.

More lands with basic subtypes in the future?
I am very glad nothing changed in EDH!!
WUBRGPauper Battle BoxWUBRG ... and why I am not a fan of Wayne Reynolds' Illustrations.
Duals returning maybe?
To the guy in the GP Promo thread who said that Wild Nacatl would be banned in Modern, good call.

Thanks to Heroes of the Plane Studios!
Was stubling over this, too. Let's hope for a Alphaduals reprint.
Who knew?
Twin and Melira eat Martyr Proc alive.

Delver of Secrets is next.
Zoo will manage; there are other efficient beaters that can fill that gap. Hell, Goblin Guide can inflict the same amount of damage within 3 turns.
Besides, they largely banned degenerate things. Do you want to get stomped by 12-post and Shoal?

Not likely, control is still dead in modern.
On the plus side, I no longer have to fret about the fnm Nacatls being the only foil card in that deck! Not my fault I don't have regular ones.
Too bad all my Kird Apes are foil as well . . .
And yet it just 4-0ed a Daily Event online in a format with Nacatl.

There is still Kird ape & loam lions around.
a) Ancestral Vision/JtMS/Bitterblossom is unbanned (unlikely) or
b) some of the upcoming sets contain cards that will empower it (far more likely).
Agreed; I was pointing out Guide because he's more efficient.
