Petrified Hamlet Modern Sideboard Targets

It looks like Petrified Hamlet (released April 24, 2026 in Secrets of Strixhaven) has zero recorded copies in the Modern database so far — it doesn't appear in the main deck or sideboard presence lists despite being just days old.

Here's a summary of what we know:

🏚️ Petrified Hamlet
"When this land enters, choose a land card name. Activated abilities of sources with that name can't be activated unless they're mana abilities. Lands with that name have {T}: Add {C}."

Current Presence: 0% (no data yet)
The set only dropped on 2026-04-24 — no tournament data has registered this card in Modern yet.

💡 What it does / likely targets:
Based on the card text, it shuts off activated abilities of a named land (while keeping its mana production as a colorless tap). Obvious hate targets in the current Modern meta:

• Urza's Saga — 38.99% main deck presence; Hamlet kills its construct-making Chapter II/III activations
• Boseiju, Who Endures — 13.3% main; neuters the channel ability
• Arena of Glory / Fiery Islet / Thundering Falls — various utility lands that would be locked out
• Cavern of Souls — disables the uncounterable naming ability

⚠️ Caveat: Since Hamlet itself is colorless and enters with a choice, it's likely a sideboard role-player — but zero copies have appeared in post-release events yet. Check back in 1–2 weeks once SOS settles into the meta!
