lillie full art pokemon card Preserved in a tamper Lillie (Full Art) - 151/156

Kosei, Penitent Warlord Many samurai commanders reward you when you attack alone, which causes problems in a multiplayer format

I played four copies over eight rounds of Modern last weekend and there were very few moments when it functioned differently from it would have read Counter target spell or destroy target creature. Im not arguing that its exactly that, or that it doesnt require any work, but a card that literally did that would be so far above the rate were used to seeing for interaction that if Drown in the Loch doesnt do what you want 10% of the time, its still among the best two-mana interactive spells in Modern, which is precisely how I rate it

Embercleave Another sword in Red

Even taking 1 point of Lore into consideration, this card still doesnt look particularly impressive

Notably, Price of Betrayal and Suncleanser can both remove counters from opponents
