What do you all think about the new Sarkhan? Could it fit in a Dragon heavy Skred Deck?
It filters, and ramps nicely into Stormbreath.
Sarkhan, Fireblood 1RR
Legendary Planeswalker — Sarkhan (Mythic)
[+1]: You may discard a card. If you do, draw a card.
[+1]: Add two mana in any combination of colors. Spend this mana only to cast Dragon spells.
[-7]: Create four 5/5 red Dragon creature tokens with flying.

The only reason Arena might affect Modern seems to be
[1] Arena will be successful enough to replace MTGO; and
[2] Arena will not support Modern; so
[3] WotC will lose interest in Modern
[1] is not a given. Arena could easily fail before it threatens the existence of MTGO.
[2] is not a given either. Arena may support Modern before they close MTGO. If they doesn't support Modern, that is a good reason to keep MTGO alive for Modern and other eternal formats, even if it would be given less focus.
[3] is not a given either, as there is no reason to think that paper Modern will die.
Of cause, Arena could be so much of a success that WotC will lose interest in anything but Standard. But that is more of a issue of state of Magic in general, and quite a bit in the future.
I only play MTGO, and mostly Modern at that, so how Arena may or may not replace MTGO is of interest to me. If it does, I will really like them to support Modern and allow me to port my card collection over, even if I needed to pay some fee. However, I think the current discussion on Arena and future of MTGO is based on many layers of suppositions, and approaching the point of being off-topic.
