What an absolutely wild week for Modern. Playing with Bloodbraid Elf and Jace, the Mind Sculptor legal has been incredibly exciting and exhausting. With so many shells to try, and so many changes in deck-building philosophy (particularly for control decks) I feel like I’ll never have enough time to explore all the avenues! Today’s Blue […]
Modern
So, a new set released and I haven’t addressed it at all. It’s not that I didn’t want to, or lack things to discuss. I was just a bit busy with a far more important project. And then with watching a Pro Tour. And then with chaos. I realize that talking about Rivals of Ixalan is […]
It’s too late to capitalize on Jace and Bloodbraid themselves in the MTGO market. But plenty of opportunities still exist to take advantage of the tumult caused by the unbannings.
Rob returns with an analysis on one of the hot lands in the market today!
Last weekend’s unbans were met with mixed reactions from the Magic community. I found myself a little conflicted, as well; I generally like shake-ups and “fresh meat,” but the back-to-back Pro Tour and GP weekends, which featured incredibly diverse metagames, had just proven Modern to be a format smack in the middle of its golden […]
Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Bloodbraid Elf have been unbanned in Modern. Adam breaks down which cards have gotten better and are in position to rise in price as a result.
With Jace and Bloodbraid freed in Modern, some major changes to the metagame are certain. Brian looks over the cards best suited for gains in the new environment.
Thanks to Wizards’ bombshell unban announcement, Modern is on the cusp of a great age of experimentation. Established and rogue archetypes alike will be examining their 75s in efforts to either combat or incorporate the format’s latest newcomers, and I fully expect some new archetypes to appear in the wake of these powerful additions to […]
Rob makes his first Daily Stock Watch Quarter Review!
Wizards really dropped a bombshell on us Monday morning. Jace, the Mind Sculptor AND Bloodbraid Elf unbanned? Oof, didn’t see that one coming. I’d been outlining articles for the various cards that I could see getting banned or unbanned, but these two together were not on the list. Never even considered it. However, it happened. I’ll […]
With the Modern Pro Tour in the books, what can we expect from the next metagame evolution? Adrian looks at cards well positioned for gains one week after PT RIX.
Guillaume’s back to break down both the Standard and Modern metagames from the last couple weeks.
It’s only February, and we’ve already seen the most high-profile Modern event of the year. Pro Tour Rivals of Ixalan went totally according to plan: no Eye of Ugin shenanigans; no team of baby-genius-pros breaking the format in half; no flurry of bans raining down on the winning deck. So, business as usual, right? Wrong! […]
