Chaz takes a look at the post-banning landscape in Modern using data from Magic-League, before addressing the latest round of Modern spikes.

You can still die on turn four in Modern, but with Twin gone it’s far more likely you’ll know when it’s safe to tap out. Ryan believes this change fundamentally impacts the playability of many cards.

Today I will attempt to outline my perspective on the recent Modern bannings, and hopefully provide an interesting counter-argument to the general emotionally charged language running around the Internet. As always, my opinion is my own, and I present it to you not in an attempt to argue or sway others to my side, but […]

Yes, we have a new banned list, and […]
