I think you made a solid argument.

If Chalice is bad for Prowess (of all stripes), 3Sphere is worse. And there are plenty of decks that will get some splash damage (particularly combo, if that’s been a problem). You can’t have hate against everything and there’s never any guarantee you’ll need it, but it’s the sort of card that it devastating enough in the right matchups that you can find room. I’d go for it, putting in my anti-combo slot and maybe an extra copy if you can make the fit.

It’s obviously an all-star in that matchup, but it feels kinda blank against the rest of the tiered list. I mean, modern being modern, you’re still going to have your random matches against stuff like burn and bogles and various shadow decks where it’s also really good, so I feel like it might be worth the slots overall, thoughts?
