Liliana seems great in Commander, Bolas might be good when his static ability matters, and some Death And Taxes list somewhere might test Gideon, but I don't expect any of them to see anywhere near as much play as Saheeli or Ashiok.

Meanwhile meanwhile, I don't know how to evaluate Tezzeret and he kind of scares me. His combo in Standard is gross and I feel like he's going to break something at some point and risk being the new Nexus of Fate. His design isn't necessarily pushed, but I feel like it's not conservative enough for a buy-a-box

I ended up getting 3 mythics and no planeswalkers among said mythics. Just two Zombie gods and an "Apex Hybrid", whatever that is. At least the last guy is shiny. I have a bunch of planeswalkers to play with though. That's nice.

commandercool:
A three-mythic box is too bad, but a foil mythic is nice. Did you get the box promo? And which God Eternals did you get? Kefnet and Oketra are the expensive ones right now.

commandercool:

We got our fixed Force of Will in Modern Horizons! This whole time I've been trying to figure out how you make a fixed Force that can be used to disrupt degenerate combos but can't be used to protect them. Making it only usable on the opponent's turn is an obvious and reasonable answer. I think this is a great design. The Negate element is a little harder to evaluate, but it probably means that Force of Negation doesn't want to be in main decks, which is probably a good thing. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this card is very good and I'm pretty sure it's pretty balanced.

PX:
Literally what Modern needed right now

commandercool:
Almost bummed it can't get creatures since ideally what you want to counter against Storm is one of their creatures, but they'll always just topdeck a second one immediately anyway. Maybe that's a trap and hitting Gifts or Past in Flames is better, and I'm assuming Past in Flames is the reason this exiles.
