Modern Horizons 2 reveals a new Dragon with Delve!
Wizards of the Coast has revealed more new Magic: The Gathering cards from the upcoming straight-to-Modern set, Modern Horizons 2 today, including a blue mythic rare Dragon with Delve, and it’s called Murktide Regent. It has Flying, and it enters the battlefield with a +1+1 counter on it for each instant and sorcery exiled with it. In addition, whenever an instant or sorcery card leaves your graveyard, put a +1+ counter on Murktide Regent.
Check out the two versions of Murktide Agent here:
Murktide Regent’s mana cost is expensive but it shouldn’t be hard to cast with Delve. There are probably dozens of ways to bring out Murktide Regent by turn 2 in Modern, and its power and toughness can be big as well if you manage to Delve multiple sorceries and instants. You can also cast cards with Flashback to add +1+1 counters. With a lot of graveyard hate in Modern Horizons 2, this card seems fair so it’s probably not going to get banned like
