Brian undertakes the monumental task of reviewing every major Standard card coming out of PT SOI. He explains whether each is a hold or a sell and why.

As part of our dual-coverage for this event, we wanted to compile the PT:SOI Deck techs in one place for everyone’s convenience. We will look at all of the Deck Techs provided and break down each one with some notes–and some key cards to consider from each deck.
A Goblin Dark-Dwellers deck is bound to show up in Standard eventually. Could this be the deck?
Today I will be focusing on Grixis Control. Where it came from, the challenges it faces, how it can respond to the new Modern landscape we find ourselves in, and what role it will play moving forward. For those unfamiliar with my opinions on this deck, you can brush up here, here, and here. While […]
The Grand Prix weekend showcased the most broken metagame in Modern’s history. Sheridan looks past the inevitable ban for technology and strategies to invest in before April.
I’m not going to sugarcoat it: the StarCityGames Louisville Classic was a total nightmare. Not the nightmare where Wizards doesn’t reprint Damnation in Eternal Masters, or where Jeff Hoogland doesn’t drop his turn one Birds of Paradise (which, to my horror, I witnessed this weekend!). This was the kind of twisted, tentically nightmare normally reserved for H.P. […]
Ryan Hipp took Blue Moon to an impressive Top 4 finish at SCG Regionals. Check out his build, and thoughts on the deck going forward!
The MOCS presented a number of innovative decks, and Mike is here to show them off! It appears Standard is nowhere near solved, and these newcomers are shaking things up.
Brian takes on the ever-important task of evaluating his past picks for success and failure, focusing on the past two months.
Looking for a way to beat Eldrazi without playing a hyper-aggressive or gimmicky deck? How does Spreading Seas Control sound to you?
Mike sifts through the archetypes that battled through the Eldrazi-infested metagame to a positive finish at the Pro Tour. Could one of these decks dethrone the Eldrazi menace?
Quite the Pro Tour we’re having. Say what you want about Twin being gone, but the format seems fresh and a bevy of cards are able to now see the spotlight.
When it comes to Modern right now, Ryan likes Lightning Bolt a lot. He provides a detailed overview of the metagame and explains his choice for Regionals.
