Finally, Im talking about putting cards into your hand from the top of your library (more or less), not tutoring for multiple cards, or gaining advantage with cantrips or by sweeping the board, for example
(This is the same reason I've stopped playing Phyrexian Arena in Standardit's just too risky with Sheoldred being so heavily played.) In Modern, the card could be a Seismic Assault replacement and does have the huge, huge upside of only requiring one red mana (although it does cost one more mana overall), but is it going to be fast enough
Mishras Workshop Three free mana
That's some solid versatility for such an unusual effect in this color pair, and even though it only has one printing, you can get it for about a quarter
It's a strategic choice, like unleashing a Cruel Bargain potent, yes, but at what cost
It works well specifically with Walking Ballista and other cards to infinitely ping enemies
