Bridge from Below

Enchantment

Whenever a nontoken creature dies, if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token.

When a creature an opponent owns dies, if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard, exile Bridge from Below. (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. Tokens enter the graveyard before they cease to exist.)

legendofa on MASSIVE EDH RC ban list …

8 months ago

Mortlocke I appreciate the response. And I get the feeling of key cards being banned, both for deck building and for finances (Extended -> Modern Reanimator Dredge: Golgari Grave-Troll, Dread Return, Deathrite Shaman, Bridge from Below, Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis, Faithless Looting,...), and the turn 1 eight mana was kind of an exaggeration. I don't think there's too much to worry about, though. Unless I'm forgetting something, the last ban was Golos, Tireless Pilgrim more than three years ago, so the RC doesn't seem to be super ban-happy. Sol Ring isn't going anywhere for now, and the other fast mana cards speed the game up by one turn, not three, so I think they're safe too. I might be naively optimistic, but I think the fetch lands and ABUR duals are as much a part of the game as Sol Ring, and again they don't provide 3+ mana. I'm more concerned about Strip Mine and Wasteland, honestly.

So that makes four out of the ten companions banned in at least one format, and Lurrus of the Dream-Den is banned almost out of existence. Is there another mechanic that has a similar density of banned cards? Even Dredge only has one card banned anywhere (but it's lost a lot of accessory cards like Dread Return and Bridge from Below in Modern).

I was going to say that Bridge from Below was banned well before Hogaak, Risen Necropolis, but then I looked it up and I was looking at Golgari Grave-Troll, so disregard this comment.

Ah, the glory days of Dredge Reanimator...

Combo-oriented cards are hard to get off the ban list once there. There's usually a 99% chance they're basically useless or totally broken, and Wizards (and the Modern community) is generally reluctant to gamble on the 1% chance it'll hit the sweet spot of "interesting but not broken".

Same reason cards like Bridge from Below and Hypergenesis are banned (and likely to remain so).

I don't know if you know this, but looking at your deck just from first glance, Faithless Looting and Bridge from Below aren't modern legal. I honestly don't know what you're trying to do with this combination of cards?

Just to leave that 100% clear: Yes. He has to be on the battlefield to trigger.

For some counterexamples, see Bridge from Below, as well as Lochmere Serpent's final ability, which work in the graveyard rather than the battlefield. Both of Bridge From Below's abilities function "if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard," and Lochmere Serpent's ability explicitly moves it from the graveyard, so it has to be there already to use the ability.

BTW I would trade Creeping Chill for Bridge from Below so you can make tokens and keep up the aggro... it's worth more in the course of the game than the chills IMO

I see the updated list, two big thoughts:

  • Why Bridge from Below?? I’m unsure how you get if into your grave easily, but then, once its there i’m unsure how you get a bunch of your own stuff killed without any of your opponents stuff dying?

  • 17 lands feels super low. Burn runs around 19, and that deck only plays 1-2cmc spells.
