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.

Sakashima impersonates a solid artifact deck in Carlos Gutierrez’s deck in today’s article.

Joshua Justice takes a closer look at rares mythics and playable commons and uncommons with his set review of Innistrad.

Bash bashed, but for how much and how well? Neale takes a reader submission and works with magic, discovering that planning must be proper to avert the dangers ahead!

This week Stephen takes a quick look at M12 and the cards that stand out.

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.

Jund is one of the top decks in the Extended format, and here is everything you should need to supplement your playtesting with it for Grand Prix: Atlanta!

Gregory starts with a basic artifact deck and then explores an exciting combo deck for standard.

Corbin Hosler offers a unique take on the results of Worlds and how it affects the Extended format in particular. He breaks down the players in the format and lets you know which cards are spiking after the event.
