The Modern unbans are in full-effect, and Adam has the details on what cards are winning as a result.
In the weeks since Bloodbraid Elf and Jace, the Mind Sculptor became legal in Modern, Wizards has posted some novel and interesting decklists from Magic: Online. As a lover of attacks, blocks, and interaction, the Wild Nacatl decks intrigued me. I’ve never been a fan of the disruption-light Revolt Zoo variants, nor the activated-ability-centric Knight […]
Jace and Bloodbraid continue to be the main story of the Modern metagame. Adrian looks at the cards’ impact two weeks out and advises where to park investment money.
Rob talks about another card that’s reprinted in the upcoming Masters 25 set!
As the metagame continues to adapt to the recent additions of Bloodbraid Elf and Jace, the Mind Sculptor, we have seen lots of the expected: Bloodbraid bolstering Jund, and Jace slotting in nicely as a finisher for controlling blue decks.

Contrary to what we’ve heard since the announcement, the format is just fine, and perhaps even better: it’s fresher, to be sure, with new decks popping up abusing Modern’s newcomers and benefiting from the metagame warp. One development I […]

QS Writer and Store Owner Pete Casella joins for a Flash Cast about B&R Announcement!
It’s too late to capitalize on Jace and Bloodbraid themselves in the MTGO market. But plenty of opportunities still exist to take advantage of the tumult caused by the unbannings.
Rob returns with an analysis on one of the hot lands in the market today!
Last weekend’s unbans were met with mixed reactions from the Magic community. I found myself a little conflicted, as well; I generally like shake-ups and “fresh meat,” but the back-to-back Pro Tour and GP weekends, which featured incredibly diverse metagames, had just proven Modern to be a format smack in the middle of its golden […]
