Grand Prix: Chicago was this past weekend and the format was Modern. How good for us! Modern moves a lot of card prices, even though it doesn’t get played that much.

With continued WOTC support, with Modern Masters, with shocklands being reprinted, this format is coming together… if it can deal with Jund.
