Snapcaster Mage has been a roleplayer in Modern ever since it was first printed, and has been a crucial card in some of the most recognizable Modern decks throughout history, whether it be the RUG Vial deck Shota Yasooka took to the World Championships in 2012, or the Jeskai Control deck Shaun McLaren took down Pro Tour Born of the Gods with in 2014
Birgi is a great example of reds fixed place in the color pie
