Was going to stop there for now but I have a lot to say about

23. Brazen Borrower



I know this is going to be another controversial one.

I wish this card came out in a modern horizons set because it is 100% too good for standard. It and its buddy
have undoubtably made standard worse for the last 2 years and that's pretty disappointing, because as a cube or modern card it's amazing.

a 1U bounce spell is bad.
a 1UU 3/1 flash flier that can't block non-fliers is bad.

And somehow the combination is.... excellent? I think Brazen Borrower is an easily first pickable card in lower powered cubes, and a solid 3rd pick or so in higher powered cubes. It works extremely well with counter spells as it bounces anything. It disrupts combos by bouncing your opponents reanimation or splinter twin target, and it attacks planeswalkers so well.

Whenever I see a bunch of bad cards stapled together into something that is excellent I have to give credit. Brazen Borrower is just a fun card versatile card that makes you feel secure against a host of potential upcoming problems.
