Top Cards from the Murders at Karlov Manor Set for the Dallas MTG Modern Format

The Modern format of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), a beloved game of the Dallas trading card games community, is known for its vast card pool and dynamic meta. Murders at Karlov Manor set introduces exciting new card options for Dallas MTG Modern players. Here's a look at top cards that could potentially shake up the format.

Leyline of the Guild

mkm 217 leyline of the guildpact

Leyline of the Guild is a 5-mana enchantment that you can put into play as you begin the game without paying its cost if it is in your opening hand. This enchantment makes all your nonland permanent all colors and all your lands have every basic land type. Obviously, Leyline of the Guildpact synergizes well with lands matter types of deck as well as those mechanics that take into account multiple colors such as domain in the Dallas MTG Modern format.

 

Reenact the Crime

mkm 70 reenact the crime

Reenact the Crime is a blue instant spell that costs four. Its effect lets you play any nonland card that was put into any graveyard this turn without paying its mana cost. This is essentially a blue reanimator card that is not just limited to game-ending creatures spells. This card is sure to shake up not just the Dallas MTG Modern format but others as well.

 

Break Out

mkm 190 break out

Break Out is a red-green 2-mana sorcery spell that says, 'Look at the top six card of your library. You may reveal a creature card from among them. If that card has mana value 2 or less and it gains haste until the end of turn.' Break Out fits perfectly well with any red-green deck as a way to sift through your deck to look for high impact creature cards, making red-green more efficient for the Dallas MTG Modern format

 

Insidious Roots

mkm 208 insidious roots

Insidious Roots is a black-green 2-mana enchantment that grants the ability for token creatures you control to tap and produce one mana of any color. It has a second effect that creates a 0/1 green plant creature token and puts a +1/+1 counter on each Plant you control whenever a creature card leaves your graveyard. This card combos well with Ovalchase Devil, Cauldron Familiar, Urza's Saga, Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, and The Underwolrd Cookbook, all of which belong to multiple meta builds in the Dallas MTG Modern format.

 

Archdruid's Charm

mkm 151 archdruid s charm

This is a 3-mana green instant that has three effects you can choose one from, clearly taking inspiration from the Modern Horizon 1 card Archmage's Charm. The effects of Archdruid's Charm are: a) search for a creature or land card, b) Put a +1/+1 counter and you can have it fight another creature, and c) Exile target artifact or enchantment. The strength of modular spells such as Archdruid's Charm is not in its mana cost efficiency but in its flexibility.
