Kazi Baker’s really great write-up on why they think Nadu should be banned in Modern after the PT MH3 showing last weekend.
Nadu, Winged Wisdom just posted one of the best showings at a Pro Tour of any new card(s) ever. The deck is comparable to decks (and seasoned) headlined by both Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis and Eye of Ugin Eldrazi in terms of conversion rate to Day 2, and slightly behind Eldrazi and significantly ahead of Hogaak (although for context, Hogaak had not received its power up from a ban yet) in terms of top 8 finishes at its first Pro Tour.
But how did this happen, and how did it happen so quickly?
It also means that it blocks Solitude and Subtlety (as well as Grief) very well, plus bounces off of itself in the mirror.
Which added to not dying to bolt make it, and it’s deck, much more resilient than a growth spiral engine has any right to be.
That is true, I had not thought of that
