Mike’s calling out some of his favorite Amonkhet cards for Constructed this week. Join us!
Delver of Secrets
Buying bulk may not be sexy, but it can be a low-risk way to make profits. David explains the advantages of bulking up, and covers the best ways to do it.
It’s a crazy time to be a disruption-plus-clock player in Modern. The options seem limitless, even if they also seem to point back at Death’s Shadow.Ā Messing around with Shadow in a Temur Delver deck for the last couple weeks has made me a slobbery wet one, nostalgic for the glory days of 4/4 tramplers and […]
Last week, I introduced a new build of Temur Delver that runs black for Death’s Shadow, the Avatar’sĀ partner-in-crime Thoughtseize, and Modern’s shiny new removal spell, Fatal Push. With another week of experience testing under my belt, I have plenty more insights on the deck.Ā This new experienceĀ hasĀ inspired a few changes toĀ Temur Shadow, and even a new […]
MM3 will undoubtedly affect Modern prices, but don’t forget the impact of the metagame! Brian looks at how the post-banning meta is shaping prices.
Here we are, the final category of decks!Ā Well, I say category but it is actually categories. You see, there are a number of archetypes that are either rare or derivative of the other ones and so don’t really require separateĀ articles. This is not to deride their value to Modern or their power. It is simply […]
Mike breaks down the Modern-playable Masterpieces and some of the decks that excel with them!
About a month and a half ago I presented a Jeskai Delver build that I had been tinkering with, and today I have some changes to discuss. I was able to play a 61-person event last weekend, piloting an updated version to the semifinals of the event, where I was ultimately felled by Jund, which […]
Modern’s claim to fame is its diversity. I’m not alone in feeling like a notable portion of the format’s card pool is playable, and Wizards themselves push this narrative heavy-handedly. For many players, though, Modern is less about openness than it isĀ about linearity. There are indeed plenty of optionsāso long as you’re not set on […]
Looking for a reason to dust off your Mantis Riders? Like Mutagenic Growth but hate combo decks? This one’s for you.
Iāve been tweaking Temur Delver variants, especially my beloved Monkey Grow, for well over a year now. The archetype does everything I want to be doing in Modern: it throws Bolts, it attacks with efficient threats, it counters spells, it cantrips, and it steals games with Blood Moon. For a long time, it also struggled […]
Enemy-colored fastlands look to be some of the biggest Modern hits out of Kaladesh. Sheridan breaks down where they might go and how much they might cost.
I get a lot of questions and comments pertaining to Grixis Delver, with a lot of the focus being on the sideboard. My sideboard notably doesn’t take advantage of the sorts of hammers that you see in many Modern decks. I’m not about “destroy all artifacts” orĀ “exile all cards in graveyards” cards, and instead have […]
