A lot of familiar decks saw success at Pro Tour Fate Reforged. A few gems managed to break through though.

While the supposed Ascendancy menace in Modern failed to materialize, the impact of Khans has been nothing short of colossal. Mike Lanigan sifts through the decklists proven capable of competing in a post-Treasure Cruise world.

This year, several rotating rares didn’t bottom out as Sylvain expected. Despite missing the lowest price, he is still taking advantage of good opportunities on rares and a few mythics.

The risk of reprint can make long-term investments on MTGO daunting, but Sylvain believes they are still viable. He reviews several years of price history and attempts to define a long-term strategy for carefully selected targets.

Continuing with last week’s series, Sylvain reviews which rares from M14 and Return to Ravnica may constitute a good investment after Standard rotates.

Ryan lays down a few key premises to the current Modern format and brews a new list meant to take advantage of this landscape.

Mike Lanigan surveys the new decks to come from the Pro Tour, as well as the price changes in key cards as we near rotation.

In this new chapter of his Nine Months of Portfolio Management, Sylvain discusses the poor decisions he made with Return to Ravnica block cards–the losing category of his portfolio–and explain what not to do with Standard positions.
