Each week, we review what went on behind the QS Insider curtain. It’s a great way to see what you might be missing if you’re not a subscriber, and a great way to get caught up if you are!
Adam shares the new Modern deck and explains the card choices that all-time great Guillame Wafo-Tapo played to a cash finish at last weekend’s Grand Prix!
Grand Prix Columbus was a great time – I was there – and it pulled in almost 1,050 players, which is impressive for a format that people seem to hate on the internet. Most of my opponents had not played the format before, but just about everyone expressed that they thought it was a fun format that they’d like to keep playing.
This week, we are looking at Planar Chaos, the second set in the nostalgia-heavy Time Spiral block.
Jay continues his development of “The Standard Cube” by looking at white instants and sorceries. How many Wraths? Find out inside!
Continuing our exploration of Legacy and the Color Wheel, we’ll move onto the series’ second installment. You’ll find all the White cards you can comfortably prepare to see in Legacy alongside the most prominent decklists harnessing the color.
With the exception of Splinter-Twin, however, the new metagame is very similar to the metagame before rotation. Edgar Flores won the first SCG Open with NPH legal with a UW CawBlade list that looked very similar to the pre-rotation lists. In this metagame there are a number of cards that are being underplayed, in my opinion, and here are the top 5.
We’ve had 2 weeks of Opens to see the impact New Phyrexia has had on the Standard and Legacy tournament scenes. I’m going to focus on Standard, since the Grand Prix this weekend is Legacy, and will almost certainly have more players than the SCG Open series gets. Waiting on that will give us a bit of a better view on the format. However, for Standard, there’s no reason to wait, especially since the format hasn’t really undergone much of a change.
Gregory teams up with Jay Schneider to bring you an exciting and potentially format-crushing deck at the last minute!
