Kessler and Ben go through the newly released Eternal Masters to see which cards printed in the set would, if reprinted in Modern, offer the most fun changes to the format. They use diversity, impact, and power level balance to determine if they can be reprinted through Standard, or if the cards could be fun if printed into Modern with some other method. And yes, Kessler picks a card he shouldn’t have.
