Hi Everyone!
I wanted to take a minute today to write about how Modern is unique to the non-rotating formats. There are many decks that have very powerful linear strategies and relatively weak interaction.
Many strategies (think storm) can win on turn 3 much of the time (yeah, more of Storm will get banned eventually) and there's not a lot of interaction that can stop a run for a win that early.
Seriously, what do we have to stop a storm player from going off on turn 3 with Pyromancer Ascension out? There are cards but not a ton and you have to have already played them, there's not a good way to interact.
The best interactive spell in the format is probably Remand and it's not Counterspell or Force of Will. Modern would be a much better format if a lot of the good interactive spells from back in the earlier days of Magic were reprinted.
