From the RPTQ results two weeks ago to GP Pittsburgh’s Top 8, Modern is showcasing a diverse and healthy metagame. Doug surveys the Top 8 and offers his insight.

Two weeks ago, a Christ Kallas article from The Meadery showed up in my newsfeed. “The Complete(ly Serious) Guide to Pre, Post, and Mid Game Social Interactions” lampoons awkward interactions between players by blowing negative stereotypes out of proportion. The article had me laughing out loud, and not because its jokes are funny – they aren’t – but because the “exaggerated” depictions […]

Ryan shares his thoughts on the bizarre spoilers for Oath of the Gatewatch and a short list of juicy Modern targets moving into GP Pittsburgh!

Greetings, halflings! Welcome to that special time of the year. The one-use Halloween costumes have been thrown out, the smell of turkey is in the air, and we’re just starting to determine which of our family members are actually worth buying Christmas presents for.

With the RPTQ results and October metagame numbers in the books, Sheridan points to the best investments going into next week’s GP Pittsburgh.

What’s up guys! Welcome back to my Modern Nexus Video Series, where we take a deck in the format and run it through some matches on Magic Online. Today we have B/W Tokens, a pretty unique deck that’s been bouncing around the format for a while. ‘ Back in my BFZ set review we discussed the […]

Adam prepares for next weekend’s Grand Prix Pittsburgh by identifying some promising specs in Modern. These cards are potentially just one strong finish away from a bump.

Chaz presents some cards to consider now that Modern season is on the horizon. Don’t wait to stock up, as the window on these cards is passing quickly.

A few weeks ago, I brought up Ryuuta Igarashi’s GR Aggro deck, which grew prodigious Tarmogoyfs and powered out Blood Moon with Pyretic Ritual. The combination of Moon and Goyf so intoxicated me that I built GRx Moon decks all last winter, and had some success with them last summer. When I designed Abzan Moon, I figured I’d optimized the strategy […]
