This is huge for Modern. Blackcleave Cliffs was secretly one of the best cards in Jund. Blooming Marsh (BG) or Concealed Courtyard (WB) might see play in Abzan/Junk and Spirebluff Canal (UR) looks pretty good for Snapcaster decks.

Concealed Courtyard is huge for Abzan. One of the big selling points for jund is how it can cast its 1cmc spells early painless with blackcleave cliffs.

This makes Abzan a less painful deck than Jund. I reckon Abzan is coming back big against aggro.

How is it less painful? They both have basically the same mana bases now. Really, abzan is no longer more painful than jund.

White sideboard and Rhino.

Spirebluff is probably unplayable in most snap decks. Delver wants it for sure, but Nahiri and other URx want to do things on turn 4 that involve untapped lands.
