DemonDragonJ on Skulldrifter and Deathless Entity

There have been three variants of Mulldrifter, two of which have names that are variants of its own name, Hulldrifter and Nulldrifter, so I am very surprised that there has not yet been a variant named "skulldrifter," so I have created such a card, as seen, here:

Skulldrifter Show

Skulldrifter

Casting Cost: {4}{B}

Creature - zombie elemental

Power/Toughness: 2/2

Flying.

When skulldrifter dies or is unearthed, draw two cards.

Unearth {2}{B}.

This card is very similar to the original Mulldrifter, except that it is black, rather than blue, it has unearth instead of evoke, and its ability triggers under different conditions, so I would like to believe that it is a fair and balanced card that is also an interesting variation of the original creature.

I also have created a black version of Ageless Entity, as seen, here:

Deathless Entity Show

Deathless Entity

Casting Cost: {3}{B}{B}

Creature - zombie elemental

Power/Toughness: 4/4

Whenever you lose life, put that many +1/+1 counters on deathless entity.

This was a fairly easy counterpart to make, since this creature becomes more power when its controller loses life, rather than when they gain life, which is a perfect match for black's philosophy.

What does everyone else say, about these cards? Do you believe that I did a good job, with them? I certainly shall appreciate any feedback that you may have to offer.

Always a fan of creative strategies in Modern, and this certainly is one! I agree with kamarupa that Flare seems like a good fit in here. It also seems like Oculus is your only major threat which could leave you weak to something like Surgical Extraction or just RNG though Neoform for 4 more copies is good. But a second threat could be nice, my first though was Nulldrifter because this is a flexible draw spell or a body to copy in the late game. But your deck is nil ramp all so a 7 drop is tough without more build around. My second thought was Old-Growth Troll which is another chonky 3-drop beater to neoform into, plus it has synergy where you sac it to neo to find fleshcrafter, it comes back as an enchant before neo resolves, then you can use the ability to make the troll, then search the fleshcrafter to get 2 4/4s. Not as good as Oculus, but it could add some redundancy and grind value IMO

Land count looks fine, didn't look at specific lands.

Looking at creatures:

Amphin Mutineer is too expensive for what he does.

It That Betrays is a bit more on the noncasual side, plus it's expensive.

Astral Dragon: You're doing plenty of silly things that you don't need this 8 cmc silly thing.

Manaform Hellkite: Not as much bang for your buck as with your Myriad guys. Cut unless you need flyers for meta.

Nulldrifter: You can to cast to get the draw effect and you mostly copy.

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?
