You know who's not afraid of Monastery Swiftspear in Modern? Boros Reckoner

@GoingMadlem most 1-2 mana removal spells kill Swiftspear.

@WhiskeyWorship well there's that too, but people are apparently afraid to block swiftspear as well

@GoingMadlem when i was these kids' age, i would walk uphill, snow-covered, for 10 miles just to be too scared to block a morph in Extended

@WhiskeyWorship Back in MY day, we cast Sengir Vampire, put an Unholy Strength on it, and made our opponent attack just so we COULD block

@GoingMadlem rich kid. I couldn't even cast Sengir Vampire back then b/c my Revised Boosters only had one swamp in them
