Deck discussion for Gruul deathtouch

So, how long do you think it will take for modern to create an infect deathtouch hybrid ?
I remember that I've built a deathtouch deck in the past, and at that time I thought deathtouch was starting to get some interesting stuff.

Fynn is too weak for modern, I don't think they ever will, but deathouch is a small possibility with Vraska and the snake that came out

Think about it like this.
Why make fynn out of the blue if they don't plan to enable a hybrid?

Yeah, hapatra, obscure as it is, could be a prelude to an incoming deathtouch/infect hybrid.
If they are introducing it, there should be more clues to it among strixhaven.

Now I'll have to check :)

Back from checking.
There are 4 new cards involving deathtouch, and two of them seem like they might be designed with infect and fynn in mind.
So we will probably see an increasing introduction until someone cracks it and it becomes the new craze.

Wotc are getting better at leading the players by the nose
(This is an old phrase dating back to when animals were often trained and guided by painfull nose rings)

Strixhaven on arena hasn't exactly been a subtle thing.
They introduced 5 new deck themes that has all completely slaughtered the meta, and sprinkled it with some possible fixers to aid the designs already online.

They create an arms race and supply the weapons, that has always been a fact, but in arena it has really been like watching an alien invasion. Interestingly enough almost all magic related sites seem to withhold tournament data. I've been searching standard for decks that use lessons and learn, but it's like strixhaven isn't printed yet, and on arena the onslaught is fully visible.
It's like many sites first want to set up a price level and want to sell what's bad before they post results with new cards in them.

In a way, mtgvault extracts the same data. The site owner could make many good deals if mtgvault flags up the cards that pique our interest.

I think with Eldraine still in rotation we aren't going to see big shifts in the meta. It's just way too good of a set. I'll be interested in what DnD brings but Eldraine is the wall here I think. Once Eldraine is gone, I think the flood gates will be opened and we will see a lot of cool new decks in the meta. Clever Lumimamcer is already a stupid good card. I've got a fun UW magcraft deck and am looking forward to the day Eldraine is gone.

I've been searching for learn & lesson cards since the release of the set because I have an interest in wishboards in general.

I was just about to launch a research on wishboards and it's effects on sideboards when strixhaven spoilers revealed that a new type of wishes were available, so I decided to track the progress of these cards in particular.

I've been following a lot of content creators and looking carefully at what they build and what they face on arena, and there is a heavy exploitation of learn/lesson in arena and historic includes eldraine, which is why I've seen the strixhaven guilds wreak such havoc.

Maybe the speed at which paper embraces the new cards is slower, after all cards take a while to be collected/bought in real life.
