The One Ring is the most impactful Modern card in a long time. Mapson covers the best ways to both play and beat the shining newcomer.
Michael Mapson
Mapson is a constructed specialist and Level 2 judge. While he has a strong preference for Modern and Legacy, he is happy to play any form of Magic. He enjoys most decks, but can most often be found playing various land-based strategies such as Amulet Titan, Scapeshift or Naya Depths. His most notable finishes include a Modern Grand Prix Finals appearance, a team SCG Open top 4, and some 5k wins. You can also catch his thoughts each week on the Dark Depths Podcast where he and his cohost, Billy Mitchell, talk about Modern and Legacy.
This weekend we experienced Tales of Middle Earth and its effect on Legacy. Mapson takes us through what we saw in Baltimore before looking at what comes next.
Everyone has their favorite formats. In his first article, Mapson tells us why Modern and Legacy are his. He also gives us his lists for the weekend.
