Nahiri, the Harbinger has been making waves across several archetypes in Modern. Sheridan is here to explain why the hype is totally justified.
Tarmogoyf
After the liquidity crunch during SOI release events, Reserved List staples on MTGO are on sale again. Alexander makes the case for them before turning to Modern specs.
Today Mike reviews the basic principles of Modern finance, before covering some of the new decks that have popped up of late and suggesting pick-ups.
Despite big price tags and bigger expectations, Thopter Foundry is floundering in Modern. Sheridan explores why the highly-hyped strategy has fallen through.
Modern is full of great creatures. A Goyf by any other name is still a Goyf. And yet, no other Modern creature commands as notoriously high a price tag. As of right now, MTGGoldfish’s data lists Tarmogoyf as Modern’s number-one most-played creature. The first time I read Tarmogoyf myself, after a multiple-year Magic hiatus in 2009, I didn’t […]
Play mistakes often amount to a lack of experience. Barring an FNM the day before, SCG States marked my first event with Temur Delver since Oath of the Gatewatch, which had me gleefully—and, soon enough, disinterestedly—casting two-mana, Thoughtseizeing Tarmogoyfs. I’m not unexperienced with Temur Delver; I’ve been playing it in various forms since 2012, and with […]
Sometimes I marinate for minutes (no, tens of minutes) on clever article titles, but today’s came naturally. After months of turning Eldrazi Temple sideways, I’ve returned to my beloved Temur Delver, and fetching out basic Island has never felt more right. I guess you don’t know how dirty some things are until you stop doing them. To […]
Starting in 2017, there will no longer be a Modern Pro Tour. Sheridan breaks down financial takeaways of this monumental decision.
Let’s clear the air. I want to write about a pet card 1,000 times (à la Day’s Undoing) about as little as you want to read about it. To quote one of the funnier comments on my umpteenth Day’s Undoing article, “This series is like watching a bubble burst in slow motion.” Funny, yeah, but fun for no […]
Wizards has shown a willingness to take risks unbanning powerful cards in Modern. David asks which cards on the banned list may be the next candidate for release.
Some play Magic to win, and others play to have fun. Most players move up and down the spike scale depending on context—the casual nature of certain tournaments provides a perfect backdrop to test wacky ideas. With this principle in mind, I good-naturedly brought a neutered Eldrazi deck to FNM last week that splashed blue and green for playsets of Tarmogoyf, […]
After a brief hiatus Alexander returns to talk about Eternal Masters. He checks in with his recommended specs and discusses actions to take during SOI release events.
Mike Lanigan presents his #boxreport for Shadows over Innistrad, where he breaks down the value contained in a full case to get an idea of the set’s expected value.
