David E. unpacks the latest metagame report, suggesting UR Murktide may be on borrowed time and pegging a few older Modern strategies as ripe for speculation.
After not touching Modern in the latest B&R announcement, Aaron Forsythe took to Twitter with a trove of valuable insights. David dissects their implications.
Banning problem cards helps build healthy metagames. For this, Modern is no exception. Today David examines a different approach: unbanning.
Nearly two months have passed since the release of Zendikar Rising, but Adam feels there are still cards that are undervalued in the marketplace.
The greatest problem I face as an article writer is finding something to write about. Inspiration is fickle, as motivation can also be.

That sentiment pushed David to revisit Twin’s previous role in the format with a thorough, data-driven approach. Also included in this re-run are David’s thoughts headed into 2020, which deal with […]
