Modern Masters 2015 is official, but little is known at the moment except for the included sets. According to Sylvain, this information is worth as much as the spoiler list of MM2015 from a speculative standpoint–take advantage of it now!
Sylvain explains why he doesn’t believe the online release of Khans of Tarkir constitutes a good investment opportunity. He also briefly discusses his plans with the incoming Pro Tour.
