![]() Now, we have whole sets designed for these formats and I don't feel like they add anything. ![]() Sometimes it was a lord for an obscure tribe or something akin to that. I miss the days where only maybe a dozen cards a year impacted Modern in any meaningful way, the rest depended on if you were in the deck that really wanted them. I've been playing since 2011-2012, and god, the Monkey feels really oppressive overall. I've been playing Paper Modern since 2017, and I agree that it sucks that it's more expensive now than I can ever remember it being, but strictly speaking from a gameplay perspective, this is the best I think the format has been in the almost five years I've played it. You can play Mid range without Ragavan/DRC. You can play Control without Ragavan/DRC. Ragavan and Dragon's Rage Channeler are indeed powerful and flexible, but there are a ton of decks that can be played without them, in all flavors. Of the best decks in the format at the moment, only two (Izzet Tempo and Jund Sagavan) are playing Ragavan. Elementals tried Ragavan for what felt like two weeks, and decided that Ragavan was unnecessary. Jeskai Control experimented with Ragavan towards the beginning of MH2 Modern, and decided that Ragavan was unnecessary. Burn, the most Red deck in the format, experimented with both, and decided that both were unnecessary. Your premise is that Ragavan and Dragon's Rage Channeler are in every Red deck, and that just isn't true. Ragavan is not really a problem, outside of exactly its price, which is absurd. TL:DR - Monkey is a 1 mana plainswalker and I am salty. Perhaps I am salty but I just feel like when cards are this universally powerful, flexible and, playable it just leads to every deck in that color running them because it becomes incorrect to not run them. The same way Monkey's dash is also telling you how to win the game "Don't play me as a 1 drop, Dash me in every turn. ![]() "Don't leave me for blocking, attack every turn! Win the game!". Which sounds like a down side until you realize the card is just telling you how to win the game. It is also following the rule of 3's in that it can create card selection, it powers it self to a flying 3/3 and it MUST attack every turn. Seemingly the Monkeys best friend DRC is also a one mana plainswalker. I suppose because comedy comes in threes. It ramps, it makes splashing other colors super easy thanks to its treasure generation, and it also dashes for. Ragavan is just correct to play in any deck that is running red, or so I feel. ] has been around since June and I feel like he is becoming the new ]. r/magicTCG is not produced, endorsed, supported by, or affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.
