If the Eldrazi don't swing in then Affinity wins by default with manlands and Ornithopter/Signal Best.

There are a lot of people running 2x Champion, 2x Master right now. He's very good, but he's not the card that comes to mind to signify the deck.

Anything we can do to make this an easier to cast Hymn in modern?
Would a graveyard-based Jund shell be good enough?
Grim Flayer, maybe that new Dryad, Goyf.
Nicholas Barnes
A big part of the power of Hymn is being able to fuck up your opponent's opening hand. The chance you're going to be able to use Whispers turn 2 is pretty fucking low, so the mana cost isn't functionally as low as it seems.
Gavin Jackson
I'm aware that the main strength of Hymn comes off it being cast on Turn 2, but a Turn 3 or 4 Hymn is still pretty good, especially if you have leftover mana fot a traverse / bolt.

Just run mind rot with mana dorks

T2 Hymn can rip all land from their hand. Like, do not compare that to Mind Rot.

Getting to play Twice as much Magic as your opponent!

You'd be surprised. Not the same user, but Champion has gotten underestimated every single time I play my Norin sisters deck on MODO. They always wait until it'seems like a 4/4 to path it or the last possible second to bolt it, and it's done 5-6 damage in that time frame.
