What; Not even an Eye that comes with Grizzly bears and Vindicate stapled on?
Thanks for the info, I always wondered what happened when you tried Wurmcoil, they seem so busted in some matches but I never got around to testing it myself.

No, way to expensive. Lattice is not a plan that will come out most of the time; just something decks like UW need to have on their radar against us that lets us punish reactive decks for not dealing with the walker. Having a 6-drop in the deck would never work.

I even tried 2 sideboard Wurmcoil Engine in some events while Jund Shadow was blowing up; resolving the Wurm was an instant-win against that deck. But with Powders and Simian Guides still in the deck, 6 proved too steep, and I was forced to cut it. Most Modern decks are also able to apply pressure like Jund Shadow can. But conversely, Resolving Ugin does not instant-win against any deck.

tldr: Eye of Ugin is a great effect at 0 mana. It’s not playable at 6.

Ah gotcha, I thought you viewed it more as a general answer.
Do you like Ugin? As above, I think he might earn a slot in my 75.

Idk about a 3rd copy still, the price is just hella steep for Stompy. But that’s what I meant by “anti-aggro applications.”

It seems closer to Engineered Explosives than Ratchet Bomb – getting to the relevant 1-3 range sooner, but with greater mana investment.

But the corner cases are where it gets very sweet:
The fact that any scourges it flips are instantly castable for 1 mana (while keeping your spirit), and the fact it makes the lattice / karn combo ONLY COST 6 instead of 10 (meaning you can drop it and lock your opponent out instantly, as they are unlikely to be able to kill a 6 loyalty Ugin with a free blocker) mean I’m excited to give it a try.
Karn combo cost

Ooh you’re right, that “may” is in the wrong place. Well, that’s some utility gone…

The idea of Mill as Archive Trap.dec gels well with Modern’s status as a format boasting increasingly streamlined decks! Would love to see this succeed.

I think Narsett’s reversal will work for mill decks. That deck wants a maximum number of mill spells, and there are few mill spells that are actually good. This card acts similar to mission briefing in that it can maximize the best mill spells for cheap. That archive trap just got cast twice for the low cost of UU and its STILL in the graveyard for mission briefing later in the game. That’s the only realistic mainboard deck I can see wanting 4 copies of this spell.

Check the section again, I actually covered this!

I think you’re missing a major component of Narset’s Reversal, which is hitting your own spells. nothing on the card says they have to be opponent’s spells.

Imagine hitting your own counterspells in a counterwar, redirecting the copy to the original target, getting the counter back and fizzling opponents counterspell. Gets around Dovin’s Veto too.

or imagine casting larger value spells (cryptic, kolaghan’s command, your own removal, even wraths etc), then holding priority, bouncing your own spell while copying it. it basically works like a Snapcaster Mage for spells in your hand.

The big downside compared to Remand is its limitation to instants and sorceries, which i think denies it any maindeck slots in blue control decks. But it could potentially be a very very good sideboard card for UWx, Grixis, UR decks etc.

Interested what you think about this!
