Good 2 drops other than Tramogoyf and Bob
Modern forum

I know Tarmogoyf is every where in modern but what are some other good two drops in modern? The other obvious two drop is Bob (aka Dark Confidant ) and I suppose Snapcaster Mage is also a threat in blue decks but those three cant be the only good two drops in modern. For the record I really don't care about the color or anything just want to know some other options than the obvious ones.
I am more looking for two drop creatures but those are some good cards you listed.

I dont know if this is on topic but i do have a similar question. this jund deck won the GP in modern and it only had 2 bobs. Anyone know some B+ substitutes that could take their place? just 6 spots for 2-3 cmc threatening creatures. I never want to trade/buy for a bob, goyf, or thoughtsieze!

No love for Melira, Sylvok Outcast ? She has a whole archetype built around her.

Puresteel Paladin is pretty good for Artifact decks, I think.
Pair him up with Swords (Sword of War and Peace , etc) and 2x Porcelain Legionnaire s and you got some crazy stuff.

If we are talking artifact aggro Vault Skirge is an absolutely amazing in modern. strap on a Cranial Plating or pump with Master of Etherium /Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and he is really degenerate.

I think card:Garruk's Companion is a pretty good vanilla card for a green deck.
And Blood Artist , anyone?

AEther Vial is pretty insane for setting up your 2 drops :D

Look outside of rarity as well, also outside the norm. Pyromancer Ascension sees some play, but not much. I personally like steve (Sakura-Tribe Elder ), Explore , Rampant Growth , Mana Leak /Rune Snag , Journey to Nowhere , Doom Blade /Go for the Throat , Shrine of Burning Rage , Hellspark Elemental , Lightning Helix , and the list goes on and on and on.
