I play an Esper Gifts Ungiven deck in modern. I run the typical cards you'd find in any Gifts deck and I wanted to add something to it to make it a little less "Net Deck". I don't play competitively so I'm not too worried about taking away from it's power level a bit to try new cards.
So my question is this. What do you guys think about Myth Realized in an Esper Gifts deck? If you were going to run some how many would you run? I was thinking 2 personally, and having them in the sideboard.
For example, playing against Abzan. Game one they realize that Abrupt Decay is pretty useless against my deck that runs very high CMC permanents. Game 2, bring in the Myth Realized and it might dodge the relevant removal spells for it.
Has anybody used the card yet in modern? How did it work out for you, is it even worth it ?
I LOVE myth realized and idk much about esper gifts but I would love for that to be a thing lol.

Myth Realized is just about designed for a hard control deck. Dig to it fast with accelerated draw, protect it with counters, then just pump it all day as you dominate the board with control.

You definitely want to be able to protect it. I looked at your deck, and I think it could work. But I haven't played gifts before. Modern is rampant with Abrupt Decay, Dromoka's Command, Destructive Revelry. Plus spells that can kill it when animated.
That said. I think he has a lot of potential. like Sagarys said, you need to drop him, protect, pump, punch. He doesn't have evasion either, so in the face of a Tarmogoyf and Siege Rhino he might struggle.

It sounds relevant. I'd try it out.
