I'm wondering what mana artifact everyone uses that is modern legal. I use Sol Ring .
I wish I could use Sol... I play Restore Balance , so I use Fieldmist Borderpost & friends.

In modern? I don't really use mana artifacts. Spending the turn ramping in such a fast format isn't worth it. In other formats, my favourite modern legal mana artifacts are the signets. They're the really fasest ramp you can get outside of Sol Ring . I guess you could make the argument that Mox Opal is most often used, but you need the right deck for it.

Heck, Sol Ring isn't even legal in legacy and it's restricted in vintage.

Talisman of Dominance sees play in my UTron list.
Springleaf Drum and Mox Opal sees play in my affinity deck.

if your gonna play mana rocks, the only three that are even really viable are Gilded Lotus , Chromatic Lantern and Mox Opal . Opal is only good in affinity really, and Lotus and Lantern are probably a little to late game for competitive modern, but provide good fixing for casual. The signet block is good, abet a little too specific for my taste. it's the same thing as needing a Watery Grave (Dimir Signet ) and getting a Hallowed Fountain (Azorius Signet ) but strictly worse because you have to cast it as opposed to a land.
If you feel you must run artifact rocks, run either Coalition Relic , or things that tutor for you like Solemn Simulacrum and Expedition Map . and if your in Green, you obviously just run ramp.

Sol Ring isn't modern legal.
