Updated Eldrazi and Taxes for June 2021 with the new set of Modern Horizons 2. We have some new cards in Esper Sentinel for some early card draw and Vindicate to hit literally anything that is not indestructible or hexproof. The Metagame is also working towards a much faster and graveyard focused with Living End and ASMO-Food Decks becoming more prevalent as well as Urza's Saga in every list. It is unclear whether or not to run more or less Scavenger Grounds than Ghost Quarter , but in the meantime we are going to split it 2-4. The only other new card is in the sideboard with Damn which gives us some spot removal as well as a board wipe. While the mana cost is very particular, the fact that it can be flexible makes it slightly better than Settle the Wreckage .

Next I would like to talk about a few interactions that may pop up with the new cards, firstly, ALAWAYS remember your Leonin Arbiter . It taxes new cards like Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar , Imperial Recruiter , Unmarked Grave and Urza's Saga , as well as old cards like Stoneforge Mystic and all the new Fetch lands that were reprinted. I think it is VERY well positioned right now. Secondly, Wasteland Strangler has a few new enablers, for example, all the new Evoke Cycle including Grief , as well as all the new suspend cards. You can eat them from suspend and they never go off, 3 for 1 your opponent! Speaking of the suspend cards, if you opponent taps out for Shardless Agent while you have a Thalia, Guardian of Thraben , DO NOT FORGET, they have to pay that extra 1 if they hit a noncreature spell. If they cast a Violent Outburst on turn 3 and you can vial in a Thalia, that will do the trick.

I think this list is very good in the mainboard, the sideboard will develop as the metagame does, any comments and upvotes are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
