Prices have been on a roller coaster ride during the Modern Masters online release weekend, presenting many opportunities. Sébastien and Jeff cover all the rares they are buying.

Modern Masters is flying off the shelves, with supply likely to wane soon. David Schumann asks what cards to pull out of binders during this window of opportunity.

David Schumann overviews the major staples of the Legacy format, and discusses the likelihood of reprints and price changes for each.

This week Ryan riffs on some of the theories behind land count and attempts to go deep on his love of the 27th.

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. It’s the reason that Remand and Kitchen Finks are worth so much; why Path to Exile pushes $5. The PTQ season is coming up and Modern cards are going to be in demand for awhile. With continued WOTC support, with Modern Masters, with shocklands being reprinted, this format is coming together… if it can deal with Jund.

This week Ryan reveals the most important rule when attempting to build a new deck.

This week, you will read many set reviews and I suggest that you give each one some scrutiny. I’m reviewing mainly with an eye toward Eternal magic, which is my strength. Typically, there isn’t much in a new set for Eternal formats, so I’ll amuse you and me both with commentary on other cards.

I’m back again this week, scouring event results for more Modern speculation calls for your trading profit. Why should you care about Modern? Even if you don’t play, there is a lot of official support for the format. The Pro Tour for Avacyn Restored features Modern, as do several Grands Prix this year. Modern events fire almost every day on Magic Online, which brings us a steady feed of information. No doubt, pros are looking at these same results and compiling the best decks to bring to the Pro Tour. We’ve seen double-digit price changes during Pro Tours and I don’t think Modern events are any different. It’s the perfect time for breakout cards to shine. Let’s take a look at a few that I’ve identified early in the lead-up.
