Dredge vs eldrazi legacy10/4/2023 It feels like just this weekend we were playing Faithless Looting in Modern. This destroyed the format once and it will never be given the opportunity to do so again. Since then we have gained Damping Sphere but that does not interact with Eye at all. Even when there was a “no ban list Modern” event, Eldrazi stood above the other broken decks. The resulting Eldrazi Winter was the most unhealthy state the Modern format has ever experienced. With Eye and Eldrazi Temple, the deck played large threats very early and very consistently. With Urborg in play it does produce mana so you will be able to squeeze at least three “mana” out of it. It does not tap for this “mana” either so you can just dump multiple into play. Eldrazi Mimic being absolutely free is wildly powerful. We saw powerful eldrazi being printed as cheaply as two mana. Then Oath of the Gatewatch came and busted the format wide open until the April B&R update. Making an eldrazi that costs ten or more cost two less is not a huge deal. For years it was a one of in Tron to help them power through interaction in long games. Due to recent events, we will be adding Faithless Looting in as well. Today we will look at Eye of Ugin, Gitaxian Probe, Glimpse of Nature, Golgari Grave-Troll, and Green Sun’s Zenith though we have covered that in a three-part series in the past. We will pop in to cover them every once in a while typically five at a time going by alphabetical order. We will not flood our readers with the topic though. We will clarify when/why the card was banned and discuss whether it could be unbanned in the future. Part 2 of this series was even better received than the first entry so we will continue to make our way through every card on the Modern banned list.
