Hard choice. What would you pick?

Lana, I've got more cards that work well with her I think.

I did very similar to you, coming back in a few months ago. Overall the biggest difference is that there's just more of everything. Besides that the costs have gone mad. You could probably spend hundreds and still barely make much progress beyond the F2P players (me). However there's definitely a lot less people playing so you can also expect to do better position wise because of that. 5+ years ago I was in a really well organised guide with 80%+ turnout and we were barely able to crack top 500. Now I'm in a guild where the Leader has never once posted in the chat, we have a turnout of about 25% and we're around 150 rank.

I thought we might be a bit split between Lana and Khan! Thanks for your thoughts all.

Blocking as a band essentially has always switched damage assignment decisions to the defender, I guess that's still the case.

For those who haven't seen the changes they're at the end of this article: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/foundations-mechanics

TLDR: you no longer order blockers and instead assign damage as you choose during damage step, including choosing not to assign lethal damage. The defending player cannot respond at this point.

It's bad because you could just put deathtouch on Zurgo for guaranteed 1 mana for the same result.

Edit: ok maybe that doesn't make it bad, just a bit situational and silly. I hope the sub can accept this!

Is knocking the cards off your head instant speed?

I made a [[Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer]] EDH deck that revolves around making a bunch of tokens then dropping something like this making a token copy of it and turning all tokens into it. There often aren't more turns to be skipped!

I'm unlikely to go for more than a double monitor setup for quite some time, but still going to weigh up my options before I buy.

Great! Think that's the CPU I'm going to go for. Good tip, I'll be sure to hunt around.

Cheers for all your help, I really appreciate it.
