well honoric if u like to win at turn 1-2 ofc u will enjoy legacy and its a format that u can find this way easy.but modern isnt the type of format that decks of it should win at this turns and it sholdnt be like this.about budget now.if u wanna play legacy at tier 1 u need 2k$ or somethink like this.ofc u can find good budget decks but not that prooper. at modern the most expensive deck is like 1.000$ or so and ofc u can play at budget mode at modern too but not tier 1 like legacy.when im saying budget im talking about 150$ or somethink like that.just to make it clear.
Sword of the Meek should be unbanned too, IMHO. But of course, that's not gonna happen - WotC is more conservative with its banlist than most Central Banks are about their countries' interest rates, so they won't unban anything, and once Pod solidifies as the best deck of the format, they will ban either it's namesake or Chord of Calling.
Unfortunately, this is the path I see wizards taking modern. Ban pod. Then Tron becomes too powerful so they ban Emrakul. Then Jund becomes too good again so they ban DRS. Then there's nothing to stop affinity so they ban plating. Then Twin is the fastest deck so they ban Splinter Twin. Then Scapeshift becomes the go to combo deck so they reban Valakut. Then there's no combo to outrace aggro so they ban Experimnent One from RG aggro. Then UWx Midrange is the only good deck left so they ban Geist. (I could go on and on like this.) The point is that every deck needs decks that can beat it and Wizards has banned a lot of cards that making some of the policing decks bad.
Control needs Preordain or Ponder and Sword of the meek to fight off combo. Faeries needs to exist too to do the same.
Dredgevine needs to exist to make sure people are still thinking about their sideboards and MD GY hate.
Rite of Flame should be legal (and Grapeshot banned) so people can play early blood moons and punish greedy manabases.
