Jason Alt weighs in on the B&R announcement, insider trading, and the possibility that Born of the Gods is, just maybe, underrated.

Jason Alt observes a significant shift in the pre-Banned and Restricted happenings, bemoans the boringness of Standard, and examines tournament results.

Jason Alt describes his experiences from the prerelease weekend, including some characteristically understated opinions on the flattening of prize structures.

Grand Prix: Chicago was this past weekend and the format was Modern. How good for us! Modern moves a lot of card prices, even though it doesn’t get played that much. It’s the reason that Remand and Kitchen Finks are worth so much; why Path to Exile pushes $5. The PTQ season is coming up and Modern cards are going to be in demand for awhile. With continued WOTC support, with Modern Masters, with shocklands being reprinted, this format is coming together… if it can deal with Jund.

Join Jason as he reviews the recent announcements regarding Return to Ravnica, the arrival of M13 on the tournament scene and the usual bevy of internet oddities.

Corbin Hosler offers a detailed breakdown of the Top 8 results from the Modern GP: Yokohama, and identifies several excellent opportunities for traders!

I’d like to think that this is Abraham Lincoln’s calls, like the Great Emancipator has reached out from beyond space and time to tell us what to grab in Modern. How plain, then, that this is about the best cards to watch, to pick up, and to ditch in the wake of Grand Prix: Lincoln.
