Well, Rabblemaster is kind of like that, but I really like Seal specifically for the utility it provides. I imagine leaning too heavily on cards that need Torbran to be good would make the deck less resilient overall, but that’s more theoretical at this point since we can’t seem to come up with many alternatives!

I mean, there’s obviously Eidolon, which the deck is running, as well as Lava Dart (see above), but I can’t help but wonder if there’s maybe something missed in the crazy deep modern card pool that’s being overlooked. Like something like Pyrohemia would be amazing if it didn’t also cost 4 mana.

That does seem pretty good here TBH. I imagine the deck can keep up for a time as the metagame becomes friendlier to fast aggro decks by packing more copies.

I wonder if the Torbran deck could use another Seal of Fire or two. At first I was wondering what the heck it was doing there, but then I realized you can stick it on the battlefield and use it if you need to, but if you wait until you drop Torbran it becomes 4 damage to the face for just one mana, which is nuts. It reminds me of the Jund lists that used to play a Slaughter Pact alongside Kalitas partially as a way to get immediate value from his replacement effect when you play him on-curve.
