They don't print free dredge enablers anymore, so modern dredge plays some lands in order to play their loot/rummaging spells and get their engine going

I don't think historic is lower-power enough for looting to be fine, especially with phoenix in the format and arcanist already being a playable deck
Hand fixers are fun but can be inherently problematic, there might be a way to keep them all legal but it's much harder

In post 8075 , Isis wrote: When I think about tapping a land to put a +1/+1 counter and being allowed to do it most turns that seems exciting, but when I think about playing a wastes that says "your instants and sorceries have kicker(1): put a +1/+1 counter on target creature" then my mind instead says that's not good enough.
I can see this, I guess I'm envisioning it being good when you have to use a removal spell in your aggressive/midrange deck and it forces you to play off-curve, the more I think about it the narrower its applications are though. The types of decks it's good in probably tend to lose to emergent ultimatum (although if there's a good
humiliate deck this card probably goes in it)
What format where cheap-activation manlands are legal in are you envisioning for this card

Faceless haven is pretty widely played but it's expensive to activate
In my aggressive deck making my creatures bigger so I can kill my opponent is pretty much good enough, they also get to dodge heartless act now. It just needs to be an aggressive deck that plays a bunch of instant/sorceries and is < 3 colors which isn't really a thing

Playing a colorless land in 2 color aggro is probably fine? You could up your land count for it too.
I was thinking the mono color aggro decks don't play enough instant/sorceries, but it looks like most mono red decks play rimrock knight (and frost bite and bonecrusher) so maybe? Playing boulder rush at sorcery speed is unexciting, but if you have embercleave maybe you don't care

I was thinking about mono white which is the other mono color aggro deck in standard (which only has 2-3 giant killer). Generally I'd expect mono green decks to not have many instants/sorceries either but maybe mono black ones would yeah.
Wrt boulder rush: you're right, you're giving up something no matter what but at least you can choose.

My friend was arguing with me that it's not worth cutting snow lands for faceless haven in order to play hall of oracles though, which doesn't seem right to me but she's much better at magic than me so idk.

Not really anymore
Tbf faceless haven seems very good against rogues but the above decks are the closest things there are to midrange, and in those matchups I'd much rather be able to pump my creatures and get through blockers/kill them faster with embercleave. There's no "pile of threats and removal spells" deck.

Yeah I guess, the other thing is that you can't afford to have games where you only draw the removal half of your deck when the ultimatum deck is in the format and will kill you on 7 lands if that happens. Standard is really about building your engine or killing your opponent before they get theirs online.

yeah but "without nightbound" is a very minor downside and that's the point.

"non artifact creature" in Go For The Throat is what I would compare it to?

it's hard to get a handle on archetypes just looking at the cards for me, i'm gonna see what limited level ups has to say. also i plan on drafting a lot cause i have a lot of gold and gems stockpiled so i'll report my experiences
uw seems pretty nice to me so far. like milling over/discarding some of the disturbed cards seems really nice, and they seem like good cards anyway. and
devoted grafkeeper seems really really nice.

to me rite is like super good on rate even if you're just saccing 2 drops, also i feel like sac fodder is not in short supply at all. flashback makes it better than eaten alive imo. i think bw is gonna be sac synergies more than coven. we'll see

first impressions from what I've been hearing: esper colors are way better than the rest, especially b and w. ub is the best archetype, and being aggressive with decayed synergies is very effective.
first impressions from me: format feels pretty grindy, but life totals matter. uw and ugx grindy decks seems good. ur sucks. lunarch veteran is absurdly good for a common.

i've still not had the experience of ub being absurdly open. maybe i undervalued diregraf horde for too long. don't undervalue diregraf horde it's absurdly good.
not as good as organ hoarder though. that one is better than most rares

absurdly open relative to how good it is, i guess.
and the consensus is only among nerds like me who spend hours drafting every day, not the general arena population

imeanyeah but black gets really really cut. i end up drafting uw a lot which is probably optimal i just wanna draft the deck that's less of a headache to actually win with

ok here's my deck
there should be 4 elite and 4 quandrix but i didn't have wildcards
this deck is probably bad i just played against a lot of clunky control decks. maybe it can beat the dragons deck idk
@deathnote you should try
mono green if you have the wildcards

saw it coming is cancel in this deck i think. playing more 3 mana counters over disdainful might be good though
spectral adversary is very good i wouldn't cut any
snakeskin veil is an interesting idea
