Umezawa's Jitte
Legendary Artifact — Equipment
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage, put two charge counters on this.
Remove a charge counter from this: Choose one —
- Equipped creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
- Target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn.
- You gain 2 life.
Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This card enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)
Niko9 on favorite pet card(s)

Oh, and not really a pet card, but I've come to really love equipment artifacts in EDH. Ever since I built an equip deck I've seen how valuable they are in an aggro strategy, having the investment of equips on the board when wipes hit makes the build back up so much faster.
Something like Umezawa's Jitte gets so much value over a game, pumping attacks, picking off mana dorks, and I never have any problem re equipping it if the creatures gets removed because it's always worth another 2.

The initial Modern banlist was Ancestral Vision, Ancient Den, Bitterblossom, Chrome Mox, Dark Depths, Dread Return, Glimpse of Nature, Golgari Grave-Troll, Great Furnace, Hypergenesis, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Mental Misstep, Seat of the Synod, Sensei's Divining Top, Skullclamp, Stoneforge Mystic, Sword of the Meek, Tree of Tales, Umezawa's Jitte, Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, and Vault of Whispers.
Possible archetypes that I can see are Cawblade, Splinter Twin, Infect, Bloom Titan, Burn, Living End, Jund Midrange, Zoo, 12 Post, basically all the stuff that was popular in the first few years of Modern.

legendofa Back with another batch.
Definites:
Possibles:
•Blinding Powder…if the guy holding it is trying to blind himself XD
•Exile into Darkness is reminiscent of Cage of Hands. Right perspective, hands coming from off screen, but they’re disembodied.
•Clinging Darkness see above.
•Hex seems like it isn’t FPP, but if you’ve ever toiled away painting/organizing miniatures, sometimes you’ll stoop down to check things and get this very perspective.
•Spectral Searchlight odd angle, but possible.
•Haunting Hymn this one’s tough. If you take the whispy tendril thingies to be limbs, then this potentially qualifies. If it’s supposed to be smoke or vapors, then no. I don’t know anything about the lore/backstory of this card to know what’s going on here.
Almost certainly not:
•Shuko check the thumbs. It’s not FPP
•Umezawa's Jitte see above
•Fury Charm almost certainly not FPP, unlike the other charm.

Nice I love Boros and the Bushido is perfect for it. Kudos on the story too! I see you put a good deal of effort into that, molding the story through the cards. I'm all about that and the old Kamigawa cards, that was one of the first sets I ever played in MtG and it makes me nostalgic everytime.
If you're looking to update the deck, you could consider some stuff like Fighter Class or Master Warcraft to force your opponent to block with something that will die to Bushi, rather than rely on them willingly blocking.
Embercleave is pretty nutty and could soup Bushi up big time, surprise double strike ain't nothing to shake a stick at.
Then there's the classic Umezawa's Jitte, build up some charge counters and you can buff Bushi at instant speed. Although the opponent will see it coming, they may not have a choice. And it's Betrayers of Kamigawa classic Samurai to boot.
Sejiri Shelter Flip is also pretty cool, these new dual face lands have got potential to really pad a list. Admittedly more useful in EDH, but I see some stuff in here that could be replaced by that to make some room. There's a few Boros dual face lands too that could be considered here for our boy Bushi. Legion Leadership Flip comes to mind.
Minas Tirith is becoming an auto include in almost all my White decks, it's just so good especially if aggro.
My deck Heroes of Redwall Abbey might give you some more ideas, most of these suggestions are pulled from there. Good luck brave Samurai Warrior!

Equipment and other stabtastic things are fun, and your deck has a lot of my usual favorite toys in those colors. I approve. I do have some thoughts that might help you, though, but some of these are playgroup dependent (or meta-dependent):
- From MH3, things like White Orchid Phantom, Estrid's Invocation, Lion Umbra, Glyph Elemental, Indebted Spirit, Triton Wavebreaker, and Monumental Henge all might prove useful.
- Some other fun toys in your colors I quite like include Mirari's Wake, Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist, Privileged Position, Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Yosei, the Morning Star, Exalted Angel, Sublime Archangel, Eiganjo Castle, Council's Judgment, and Questing Beast. These may or may not do things for you, but they might help depending on how crazy things are in your playgroup.
- I'm very surprised you're not running Umezawa's Jitte, given how it likely synergizes with Rafiq (and it's just a really good card).
- Steelshaper's Gift, Fact or Fiction, and Eladamri's Call might help you get to the fun stuff, and Abundance combos really well with Sylvan Library.
- While you aren't really an equipment deck , Puresteel Paladin might both get you cards and makes your equipment quite cheap (and it's easy to turn on in your deck). I also quite like Kaldra Compleat and Batterskull, but I'm not sure if you want to draw that kind of attention.
Rhadamanthus on what is modal?
1 year ago
A modal spell is a spell with an effect that says "Choose [some number] - [list of choices]" where you make the modal choices as you cast it. Spells like Simic Charm or Cryptic Command are modal spells. Aether Channeler has a triggered ability with a modal effect, but Aether Channeler itself as a spell is not modal because you don't make any modal choices as you cast it. Similarly, Umezawa's Jitte has an activated ability with a modal effect but the Jitte itself is not a modal spell and Jace, the Mind Sculptor has a bunch of different activated abilities but doesn't have anything modal about it.

nbarry223 i’d be keen on all those unbans except for Umezawa's Jitte - X/1s are having a rough-enough time already

I second that free mana like SSG is deserving of its ban.
I’d like to see some further unbans as well, but only the “safe” ones. Honestly a lot of the dominating cards previously wouldn’t be nearly as problematic in today’s modern, due to how efficient removal has become. A card like Splinter Twin would probably be safe to unban in today’s format, but I am not expecting to see it unbanned because of how dominant it once was (I don’t think its counterpart, Birthing Pod is safe to unban yet, since there’s not enough crazy powerful artifact hate).
Cards I would be happy to see unbanned are:
All the artifact lands
Deathrite Shaman
Ponder
Punishing Fire
Umezawa's Jitte
