wallisface all super valid points and fair across the board- we're talking about a list I haven't used for the better part of a year it feels, so I will try to acknowledge each piece:

• Nulldrifter just looked sweet at the time, holds up a three Mana draw ability, and has a casting value of {7}, meant to hit the Ugin's Labyrinth.

• you make a great point that Frogmite should probably make the list again, more than likely in the spot that Nulldrifter is in right now.

• land count would typically worry me if not for the fact I'm used to playing this build as a 'Manaless' archetype. Do I need more? Potentially, but I'm more likely to keep the land count low, and the number of zero drops high.

Thanks for the feedback, and I look forward to seeing the whole set of Modern Horizons 3 so that I can make a proper list.

I'm curious as to why you've put Nulldrifter here? It's not an artifact so doesn't help with Affinity and doesn't trigger Simulacrum Synthesizer. Added to this, I don't see any realistic way for you to actually be able to cast this... it feels like a dead card in this deck?

Also surprised to not see Frogmite here - that card is easily one of the powerhouses in the current Simulacrum Synthesizer builds.

Finally, your land count looks super low (Affinity typically runs 19-20ish lands), and is missing a density of lands which are artifacts (i.e Tanglepool Bridge), which is probably going to make it harder to cast your Affinity spells.

But that makes it rife for a whole new level of abuse. In my Magic Christmas Land, I get to Dress Down on my opponent's end step and then Evoke Nulldrifter which means I get to draw cards because of the cast trigger but not have to sacrifice it. And maybe kill a Territorial Kavu in the process.

I presume that Nulldrifter's card drawing ability is a cast trigger and not an enters-the-battlefield trigger to prevent players from abusing it, as they can with Mulldrifter?
