Value-oriented Persists will likely end up picking up Sire of Insanity, or another Modern Horizons 2 bomb, Archon of Cruelty
It's a lavish recreation of the original one-on-one game, which is a fun and feisty card battler that has built up quite the collection of cards over the years
You are not necessarily playing aggro in the traditional sense where you are swinging with everything every turn
Astelli Reclaimer Rating: 5/10 This looks like it could be quite powerful, but noncreature, nonland permanent cards dont end up in the graveyard anywhere near as often as every other kind of card
Modular 1 "Modular N" means "This permanent enters with N +1/+1 counters on it" and "When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact creature for each +1/+1 counter on this permanent." If this creature gets enough -1/-1 counters put on it to cause its toughness to be 0 or less (or the damage marked on it to be lethal), modular will put a number of +1/+1 counters on the target artifact creature equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on this creature before it left the battlefield
If you have a blightsteel collosus on the board, youre very far ahead
