In reply to Benjamin Alan Mohr. The untap ability is what gets hit, not the mana ability

I don’t think Pithing Needle works on Devoted Druid. Isn’t it mana ability?

Oh, ok. When I saw XLN in the title and Sorcerous Spyglass in the article, I figured you’d be covering Ixalan. My bad.

In reply to Troy Costisick.

I explained it:

“I’ll avoid discussing the Ixalan cards here in case some readers, like me, prefer Wizards’s scheduled, hi-res spoilers to a heap of barely-readable dinosaurs we won’t get until September (that said, I obviously did take a gander; temptation is a crueler mistress than of the Veil herself). But if you’re interested in the Ixalan rares, a quick google search should point you towards the archeological site.”

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Evaporating Melody from IXA:

Or Scuttle the Wreckage:

Both seem to have potential in Modern to me.
