The thing is that Huntmaster needs to be killed right away, that's still a huge threat once on the board. So as any good creature, you play it !

I was hoping to get them cheap and saw them at 5 on scg. You seemed hot on them so I ordered them anyways. The card is super awesome in EDH in three + color decks. Maybe even some two color decks. I'm getting back into Standard so I never considered it's application there. I picked 'em up. Better than trying to scramble for them later.

That is what made huntmaster so good, its the great value you got from resolving it. Shocks and pillars are still played in decks, so I do not see the izzet charm line of thought being entirely relevant. someone charms your huntmaster, you still got a 2/2 and 2 life. I am still up a card. a sweeper hits, I still got 2 life.

On top of Mortars, it's the fact that Izzet Charm (I have to stop typing "signet!") is going to see a lot of play and I'd imagine that Selesnya/Azorius will, as well. To further elaborate, Bonfire had Huntmaster packing things up already, but now that Bonfire and a second sweeper are around, things are even worse. Sure, we'll probably see him in Naya sideboards, but Stomping Ground isn't around for a long time.

Semi agree with this. As a sweeper, Mizzium Mortars has a restrictive casting cost. The thing that makes bonfire work in standard is raw dogging it for 5 mana and sweeping delvers, geist of saint traft, huntmaster + wolves, strangleroot geist, most zombies, etc. The miracle is always a bonus, but the utility of 5 cc Bonfire on turn 4, 5, or 6 is pretty high in standard. 6 mana is at least a turn slower, and if you stumble on a red mana, it's going to be too late.

I really like Sigarda right now, as well

I'm not seeing the appeal of this card yet, to be honest. It's like everyone is looking for the next one-sided sweeper after so many people missed out on the Bonfire bandwagon… Just my thoughts.
