Modern update - new sets! —May 26, 2019

Fairgrounds Warden back in from forever ago, creatures are just way too prevalent in the current meta to not be prepared to deal with. Cabal Therapist stays, it's absolutely amazing. Even if I have to sacrifice it and only get to use it once, always worth it. Ranger-Captain of Eos, wow. Just wow. It's like the old Ranger of Eos I've always been intrigued by, but never could really run it with its 4 mana casting and no follow-up after entering the battlefield. The new captain can not only fetch Cabal Therapist, Birds of Paradise, Viscera Seer, and Walking Ballista (the only relevant way to search for the Ballista because if I use Chord of Calling on it on 0, it dies), it makes it so my opponent can't play noncreature spells!! As long as I wait for them to play something first, I sac him in response and their spell fizzles, and they can't play any more of them! Super useful against Tron, Phoenix, Narset Combo, all sorts of stuff. Emergence Zone is nuts, for just one mana I can cast wishes or creatures on my opponents turn, especially something like Devoted Druid, so it won't have summoning sickness on my turn. And no downside to the land, it can still tap for one. Nurturing Peatlands are immediately coming in, I can't believe horizon lands are about to be a thing. I hope they take more abilities from different lands and clone them like this, we could get some really cool new stuff. Between Despark, Abrupt Decay, and Maelstrom Pulse, I think I have all my removal bases covered, so Assassin's Trophy can come out. The Good-Fortune Unicorn, as discussed, is amazing. Conjurer's Ban is actually turning out really well. It's basically Time Walk, and I get to draw a card.
