Matthew Lewis presents the MTGO Market Report for this week, evaluating important events in the online market and highlighting a “trade of the week.”
Bloodbraid Elf
As the metagame continues to settle after the unbans of Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Bloodbraid Elf, an interesting dichotomy has arisen: some players claim that the presence of these powerful four-drops has made the format faster and less interactive, while another sector espouses the opposite belief. I took it upon myself to find out […]
Rob is in love with this red creature for a reason. Read more about it here!
GP Phoenix put Modern on display with some interesting metagame developments. Adrian looks at the major stories and suggests speculation picks for MTGO.
Today Adrian takes a deeper look at some recent Modern spikes, explaining the factors behind them and generalizing his conclusions to see how they may apply to future specs.
Tribal decks in Modern have seen their fair share of popularity for the past couple years. Eldrazi, and more recently Humans, have been roaming free—by far the most popular tribes.

With SCG Dallas in the books, the process of deciphering the metagame can commence. True, there have been plenty of MTGO results to pore over, but selected lists don’t form a random sample. It’s curated with a goal in mind, and so not every deck has an equal chance of being included. In large tournaments, […]
The cards not included in Masters 25 are just as important what is included. Adam share what has risen since the set has been spoiled and explains why.

Well you had to know it was coming. We played with Jace, the Mind Sculptor last week, so this week was a bit obvious. I just wanted to give Bloodbraid Elf her time in the sun too! Frankly, Bloodbraid Elf is doing plenty fine without me giving her attention. Jace is the one who seems […]
