You hear that? That’s the sound of Snapcaster Mage hitting the $80 mark. Oblivion Stone hitting $50. Huntmaster of the Fells tripling in price. The Modern market’s recent meltdown depresses a lot of players, but in me, it breeds excitement. This is where the action’s at! Modern’s never been more alive, as evidenced by the […]

Ryan piloted Grixis Delver to a 7-1 record in the Modern portion of the Columbus Invitational. Find out why he thinks the deck is so great!

A few days have passed since Modern Masters Weekend, when three different Grand Prix across the globe together made for one of the biggest and most memorable Magic experiences ever.

Mike Lanigan battled through 15 rounds of Modern at the SCG Open in Columbus last weekend. He shares his report of the tournament.

If someone told right now that my weekend had suddenly freed up, I’d snag airplane tickets and be down in Charlotte faster than the average Infect game. But it’s probably for the best. The world isn’t ready to feel the wrath of Puresteel Paladin or Griselbrand+Blood Moon just yet. Which is really another way of saying […]

I’m not going to Grand Prix Charlotte this weekend, but if I were, I’d be playing Blood Moon. Moon is one of those bizarre 8th and 9th Edition holdouts from an earlier era of design: unique, powerful, and totally out of line with contemporary development principles. It’s in the same category as Choke, Ensnaring Bridge, Storage […]

With major Modern events taking place this weekend and last, a slew of data about the format’s metagame is coming in. Brian DeMars dissects it and shares the cards he’s picking up.

Every format has its pillars. These decks might not always be the most-played or even the best lists in their respective formats, but they are ones you have to expect and respect going into any serious tournaments. Recent Standard seasons have seen Abzan Midrange and Mono Black Devotion fill these slots, just as Legacy continues […]

Hello again to all you Nexus readers and Modern players! In our announcement last week, I talked about some changes to the site and our short and long-term goals moving ahead. A big part of this is continuing to provide you quality Modern content, which means bringing on writers to ensure regular articles and diverse viewpoints. […]

Doug Linn looks over the results from the Modern Invitational this weekend, to see how the meta is shifting and what cards look promising.

David Schumann breaks down the numbers on Modern reprints and their price fluctuations. How exactly has reprinting affected format staples and what does this mean for MM2015?

Snapcaster Mage and Kolaghan’s Command are taking over Modern. Is this interaction most at home under a Blood Moon?

I often hear Modern players complain Wizards isn’t throwing us enough new cards. But seriously, have they visited Tarkir recently? Between Siege Rhino and Tasigur, the Golden Fang, Atarka’s Command and Monastery Swiftspear, the Onslaught fetchlands, Collected Company, and a card so good it got banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage, Tarkir block felt like a Return […]
