Last week’s article touched off a bit of a firestorm in the comment section. I’ll admit I didn’t phrase my point as well as I could have, but I still maintain the hysterics are overblown and, despite its power (and metagame share!), Eldrazi can be beaten. Later on, I’m going to show you how by […]
Modern
Ryan Hipp took Blue Moon to an impressive Top 4 finish at SCG Regionals. Check out his build, and thoughts on the deck going forward!
Magic feels like it’s under attack. Reddit has gone ballistic with the so-called #vendorleak scandal, incensed by stunning (or not so stunning…) allegations of merchant misconduct from an anonymous tipster. Wizards announced Eternal Masters to the joy of many and dismay of many more, reigniting debate about the Reserved List, Legacy, Modern, and future Constructed formats. […]
Ryan is sick of losing to Eldrazi, so he decided to give the deck a try. Spoiler alert, he won a lot of matches with the deck.
So. Eldrazi is everywhere. The metagame is warping around the colorless menace, driving out interaction. Linear aggressive decks sit comfortably atop the field. This is unhealthy and probably won’t last, either because answers will be found and the warp will disappear, or because Wizards will mollify Reddit and take action April 4th. However, that doesn’t […]
Rally is the best deck in Standard. Eldrazi is the best deck in Modern. Eric is sick of them. Check out his preferred strategies for fighting our new format overlords!
Modern has never been so volatile as today. Sheridan is here to offer advice on minimizing financial losses with a robust understanding of the risks presented at this juncture.
We’ve all heard the old adage: if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em! Most of MTGO appears to have heeded this wisdom: Eldrazi has already ingested 40% of the online format with little sign of relenting. Paper events also have the Eldrazi bug, where the Tier 1 superstar occupies 20% of the 27 tournaments since Pro Tour Oath of the Gatewatch. Me? […]
For all the moaning about the Pro Tour and its lack of diversity, did anyone not have fun watching it? I had a blast. The whole thing felt very surreal. We knew Chalice of the Void and colorless Eldrazi made a perfect match in Modern, but had no idea they would crush the format. I couldn’t do anything this week without faintly […]
Eldrazi keeps putting up results in the initial post-PT results online, and Ryan believes the fallout is fast approaching. Here’s how he sees the metagame and market reacting.
“Songs will be sung about this deck” –Marshall Sutcliffe, PT Atlanta It’s time to start singing. At Pro Tour Oath, the metagame was broken. U/R Eldrazi went 19-1 on Day One among the five players that ran it. The Top 8 saw six Eldrazi decks (three sub-archetypes) and two Affinity decks. But just because they […]
Mike sifts through the archetypes that battled through the Eldrazi-infested metagame to a positive finish at the Pro Tour. Could one of these decks dethrone the Eldrazi menace?
David discusses the phenomenon of financial bubbles and how they relate to Magic finance. Finally, he explains why “pump and dump” buyouts are bad for the whole community.
