I think free spells in Modern are too good for the format. Specifically the Evoke Incarnations and Force of Negation.

Dead of Winter (Modern Horizons No. 85, Illus. Zack Stella)
With February coming soon, I'm slowly feeling drawn closer and closer to Lorwyn-style spring imagery. But before the winter goes, I'm going to talk about some snow- and winter-themed MtG illustrations.
The winter solstice, and the week between Christmas and New Year's, is one of my favourite times of the year. Life slows down, and the cold and darkness sometimes makes it feel like time itself has come to a standstill. Snow only enhances this feeling, absorbing sound and covering the landscape in a soft silence.
Most people spend their time indoors around this time of the year, so even a short walk around the dark neighbourhood, only lit by streetlamps and christmas decorations, can lead to somewhat existential thoughts. Not in a depressing way though, for me at least. There was darkness and cold before we existed, and everything will return to that state eventually. There will be a long time stillness, before the next sparks of light and new voices start to emerge again. It's not scary, it's just how things are. There is even a weird sense of comfort in knowing that all things eventually come to their end.
The illustration for Dead of Winter encapsulates this feeling of stasis, quiet, dark and finality almost perfectly (although it's a lot more violent). The cherry on top is the minimalistic flavor text that accompanies it:
“At last, silence.”
—Tevesh Szat
In MtG color pie terms "black" characters are often portrayed as wanting more - wealth, power, influence, etc. But the idea of a character that is just so weary of the world that he simply wants everyone to shut up (forever) is kind of interesting.
Viewed through this lens, Dead of Winter shows the end result of such a character wielding their destructive magic. All the fighting has stopped, everyone has died, and all that remains is the howling of the wind as the world drifts away into an endless night. The magic wielder sits in his winterland fortress, reveling in the complete silence he alone gets to enjoy. It's a chilling image - no pun intended.

This card frustrates me to no end
Not because it’s overpowered, not because it’s unfair or omnipresent in competitive environments; no, it’s because I think it’s a sick design, and I really want to play it, but can’t ever find the right deck.
My blink decks don’t have enough cycles for it to be consistent. My cycling deck has SO few ETBs. It’s just always in the starting pile, but never makes it to final cuts. Shame, because I know it’s predecessor, Astral Slide, put in WORK in its hay day in standard, and I think for a while in legacy. But, in a world of commander players, I can’t find it a home.
