This week Sylvain provides an update of his portfolio, before discussing some exciting writing projects in the works!

Several months in advance of the Modern season, prices are already moving on MTGO. Sylvain Lehoux looks at the state of Modern in light of data from past years.

In light of the recent Daybreak Coronet outbreak, Carl looks into speculating on other cards that may simply be waiting for their Rancors and Umbras.

Last week Chad mentioned an awesome resource for analyzing price changes in MTGO singles. In addition to reviewing the Banned and Restricted announcement, he spent some time looking over data and doing some research and something has become readily apparent.

Rise of the Eldrazi is the Timmy dream set. It’s what you’d get if you built a set with the premise of “no rush till turn 7” and packed mana accelerants in everything. The set is based around the Eldrazi, giant and evil old legends that awaken on Zendikar. There’s a little bit of plot to this set, but mostly people remember weird drafts and a couple really big monsters.

In the last segment of his artifact extravaganza, Carlos is looking at Dark Ascension and Kataki, War’s Wage. This guy has typically been considered unplayable for Commander; but when you build around his effect, he can be pretty nasty.

The second installment of artifact theme decks! This time Carlos is looking at a mono-red deck with Slobad at the helm and with his favorite combo in the 99.

Neale likes to crush. Green is good at that. Now he seeks the very best…

Neale polishes off the competitive commanders, and opens the floor for Azuza lists! Think you have the most savage green machine?

Neale’s back with the biggest and baddest decks ever to stack up to 99 cards! Today’s competitive Commander deck update featuress Jhoria, Azami, Zur, and more!

Darksteel, the second set in Mirrodin block, is notorious for driving off more Magic players than any other set, even the Urza block. It contained high-power cards for Affinity that did not require finesse to win with. It was like UG Madness in that the best deck was cheap, easy to play and frustrating to metagame against.
