New Year’s resolutions are the high point of every January 1st celebration. Or maybe that’s just champagne. Or bowl game blowouts so outrageous they make Jeff Hoogland’s weekend loss to Bobby Fortanely’s Amulet Bloom look fair. Whether you prefer the booze or the club bashes to the boring promises, I’m sure you made at least […]
Modern
2016 promises to be a big year for Modern, and Sheridan is here with three (and a half) predictions to ring in the new year!
Eric had a phenomenal 8-1 start in the Modern Open this weekend, but the wheels fell off on day two. Check out Eric’s thoughts on what went wrong and how he intends to address the problem.
Welcome to 2016! Or, should I say, welcome to the Year of the Eldrazi! Cthulhu’s brood has been assimilating the Modern masses for about a month now, starting with EternallyRamza’s inconspicuous showing in an MTGO League on November 30 and culminating in Matthew Dilks’ 10th place run at the recent StarCityGames Open in Cincinnati. Every online Modern […]
Modern season has begun in earnest with a familiar rash of seemingly random spikes. Chaz examines the cards in question to see if the new prices will stick and what’s in store next.
As 2015 comes to a close, Sheridan looks back on three lessons we learned about Modern finance that can help us make better investments in 2016 and beyond!
Brian weighs in on the Modern banned list, surveying all the cards he thinks might see a change in February. He discusses the likelihood of each and what it would entail financially.
With the rash of spoilers from Oath of the Gatewatch, there are a lot of new cards to evaluate. Mike breaks down the competitive credentials of the mythics and predicts their early prices.
I thought about marking up my work calendar with a countdown to January 18, but that felt too nerdy even for me. It’s just so hard not to get excited about the upcoming January 18 banlist update and its probable impact on Modern. Since last week, ban and unban speculation has been relatively quiet throughout […]
All I want for Christmas is the Oath of the Gatewatch spoiler season to start. That and insider information on the upcoming banlist announcement. Plus an eventual Innocent Blood reprint when we take a trip back to Innistrad. Maybe the Santa Claus’s at Wizards are listening, but if not, we still have a few Oath spoilers to get us through […]
Oath of the Gatewatch brings <> mana to Modern, along with many new synergies waiting to be explored. Sheridan is here to highlight key speculation targets that could rise after Oath’s release!
Hello Modern Nexus! I’m Peter Niemeier and I’m here to talk about the aggressive, red prison deck I designed and piloted to a 15th place finish in the StarCityGames Modern Classic event in Las Vegas on December 13th. I had never played Modern before and the first game of Round 1 during SCG Las Vegas […]
The January 18 banlist announcement is now a month and a day away. If you play Modern, there’s an excellent chance the inquisitors of the Modern community will scrutinize at least one of your decks. Probably all of them. Since December 1 alone, I’ve seen serious ban discussion aimed at Burn, URx Twin, BGx Midrange, Affinity, […]
