Brought Back, Real Smooth

Modern Horizons / Core Set 2020, Episode 6: Brought Back

 

Core Set 2020's Brought Back took a star turn during our Lotus Field deep dive a couple weeks ago. So naturally, we Brought it Back for another chance at Modern glory, this time as the featured build-around. Part ramp, part card draw, part reanimation, Brought Back offers a little bit of everything. The only catch? You have to play white. Dave has some ideas, but what did we miss?

 

Spice Roundup: New Takes on Old Favorites

 

The wicked Bridge is dead, so it is time for the brewers to come out to play. Spicy decks are everywhere in the 5-0 league results, including some nice takes on cards we have previously explored.

Flashback: Crashing Footfalls

 

We hoofed it through a few leagues with Crashing Footfalls, trying out multiple strategies for getting the rhinos into play. The card was quite powerful in a number of shells, but in the end there could only be one winner of the Rhino Rumble.

 

UR Rhinos (KyFly1): 4-6 test leagues, strong but narrow in scope

 

 

Restore Rhinos (Jakesbaked): 5-0 test league, felt more versatile against a wide field

 

 

BR Free (Dzy): 1-4 test league, fragile and very hard to cast Footfalls
