mtg cards in graveyard Best Modern staple cards- July 2026 • MTG DECKS Ask a Magic Judge —

Aggro decks want to win via tempo

I would much rather have consistent damage like my next card of Roiling Vortex or the honourable mention of Sulfuric Vortex

Itll certainly be an auto-include in white/blue Merfolk decks (with apologies to all you Kumena, Tyrant of OrazcaKumena, Tyrant of Orazca players)

Duskmourn: House of Horror - a strong pick if you like horror flavour, tense Limited games and a set that feels very different from normal fantasy Magic

I sort these cards by set, then by color, and then alphabetically

While that life can eventually be turned into big mana turns, its important to remember that our commander is seven mana, so hes not dropping in the first three or four turns
