The End of an Era

    I'm really trying to be optimistic here but I can't lie to myself about being disappointed. When the set first got announced I thought it would be a good mix between old cards and new cards... then you find out it's only 15% reprints. I tried to stay positive, but with every reprint it just made me hurt even more. Professionals and casuals made lists of cards they wanted in Modern but now they're lucky if one of those made it into the set. As of now, there is no counterspell, containment priest, wirewood symbiote, quirion ranger, vindicate. It feels like the day I watched the Last Jedi -- I just feel hollow.

    It looks like some EDH players will be happy, though.

    I'm not expecting Counterspell. Especially after Prohibit Flusterstorm, and Force.

    Even if it was in, it's functionally the same as Logic Knot 99% of the time. It would be a good upgrade from that, but nothing crazy good or format altering.
    I've had lots of games where you can't counter something because they can pay the mana for it since your graveyard is garbage. Snapcaster + Logic Knot is also really rough. When your answer is reliant on the graveyard it just feels terrible since your opponent can just do math and say "I can play this and he can't do anything". Logic Knot also doesn't synergize with Rest in Peace or Search for Azcanta.
