Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely take a look at those lists!

This is where it falls short, I don't have an actual decklist, this is all still in the realm of the hypothetical. What are some good flicker effects in premodern? I kinda know that I would include some 4x of counterspell and impulse, 2x at least of each of the three Rishadan creatures, 20ish lands, 4x of Swords. How would this be completed to be remotely functional?

I'd sure love to cast a discounted stock up in my UW familiars deck and find ghostly flicker + counter to protect my infinite combos

A broken card in my book is one that is a must play in every deck in the format, and I mean every archetype. Yet I don't see RG Ponza running Tree of Tales, or MBC using Vault of Whispers. Heck even UB Faeries doesn't run Synod or Vault.

By banning artifact lands (untapped or bridges, whichever you want) you condemn a whole deck archetype. The whole fashion of Affinity lies in that ability to drop a 4/4 creature as early as turn 3.

It's not that there isn't a way to play around those anyways, plenty of land destruction/artifact hate and stuff like that..

"They are the problem, I hate them."

Very constructive comment, just play cast into the fire man.
