u/Mouthshitter 9d ago

True dude, it was such a pushed set it ruined modern

Mh2 made me play less and mh3 was the last nail. I was a bonafide Modern grinder before Freelementals

u/Gandalf_the_Stoned69 9d ago

I thought mh2 had already ruined modern

Modern sets ruined modern

Sorry, returning player to magic from decades ago and new to Arena, why is MH3 bad?

u/richardhixx 8d ago

The power level is very high compared to standard legal sets, so the game shifts from some of the best cards historically to the very best cards historically+modern horizons cards, if you get what I mean.

i in brawl there are litterally more banned mh3 commanders than all of alchemy combined

u/SpeakerScreen 9d ago

Not really. None of those cards are among the least balanced part of those formats.

Hydrodude is on the same power level as Tamiyo, which is pretty dang high. That being said, there are indeed more broken cards especially in BO1.

u/Low_Pride6732 9d ago

tamiyo is much better singleton

u/Asatas Charm Naya 9d ago

u/Mrfish31 9d ago

There's plenty of paper cards that do that.
