In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people. Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed and blew it out.
Many thanks to HotP Studios. Special thanks to DNC for this great sig.
So, perhaps my pet deck, UB control, can exist as a deck with Visions, right? Right?
Who am i kidding... However, UB fairies, UWR and Esper just got a new toy to play. Interesting changes.
There's just the wee problem of needing to scrounge up like $200 at the absolute BULL***** prices people are asking for with AV unbanned.
I swear if people actually play ball and buy them at inflated prices it'll kill Blue in this format. Hoping for AV to show up in Eternal Masters now.
I know right? cards selling out everywhere right now and prices are rising, av's gonna reach 100$ a piece at this rate. not good
I found some personally for about 16USD, and Swords for $3 each but that was a few days ago. Didn't actually think they would do it this fast. I figured next announcement
I will have so much fun with modern in the next 3 months its not even fair. All this people brewing and brewing with AV and trying to make a bad combo control deck with SotM, and i will just crush them even more than i did pre ban
Then eventually people will realize that both cards are too slow for modern and we will come back to the same spot (a better one since eyes is finally gone too).

I have an eldrazi deck and own 4 eyes, but am happy with this compromise and the unbannings. Leaving temple will allow for it to remain competetive without having the nut draws and the crazy mimics. Its also great to see some unbannings. Everyone should be happy with this.
Tried to get my hands on Ancestral Visions as soon as I saw the update, and they are already bought out. Same with SotM. Kinda annoying, I guess I'll have to wait for the price to settle a bit before I get to play with them ><. The buyouts are real.
Kinda surprised to see SotM unbanned since A.F. said recently that he thought Lantern would be (paraphrased) 'even more annoyoing' with it.
I think I would have preferred Preordain unbanned instead of Ancestral Vision, but this is a solid way to go imo.
My old BW Eldrazi deck only used 2 eyes. This ban just pushes me back that way and lets me setup mana fixing better. As a former eldrazi player, I think this was a great change. I loved the processor mechanic, but really didn't like the aggro version that much, even if it put up results.
I am glad control players got something. They needed a bone for a while. With that being said it will be miserable playing against you!

Current Decks
Modern
No idea because my favorite decks keep getting banned or having the rules changed against them
lol are you kidding me? Blue players will always find something to complain about. I fully expect the "unban Jace" cult to re-materialize on this thread in the future.
Tron will not close games out as quickly as before without Eye, true...but AV and SotM slow the format down enough for the fast decks that beat Tron that this is a fine day to be a Tron player.
In the aggro meta (turn-4 format) of the modern it's slow.
if Wizards have made this unban they know it will not change the modern.
Eldrazi still have legs for modern with the tron lands + temple.
THat's the point; it's too slow for anything BUT a control deck to be able to use; it doesn't power up Tempo/Combo/Aggro due to it not being immediate value.

Oath of the Gatewatch; the set that caused the competitive community to freak out over Basic Lands.
Everyone complaining about Jund getting the short end of the stick, but it is the deck best suited to weild Ancient Grudge against our returning overlord Affinity, not to mention all the people brewing with Sword of the Meek.
Happy about Eye.
Okay about Sword.
Sceptical about Visions.
