Rob starts the week with a look at Goryo’s Vengeance.
Rob thinks that this card defies logic. Take a look why.
I’ve been singing Modern’s praises for, well, ever. At one time, I thought I was either the format’s single biggest proponent or just some kind of insane zealot. But as time goes on and Modern steadily grows in popularity, articles like PVDDR’s “The Problem with Modern” start looking hopelessly dated, and are met with a […]
Good day, Nexites, and welcome to a new edition of Deck of the Week. In my relentless pursuit for the “next big thing” in Modern, I found another gem that we could try, and maybe polish, for the coming days. Without further ado, let’s take a look at this undefeated deck from one of MTGO’s […]
Rob takes a good, hard look at this shiny trinket from Coldsnap!
Nothing is harder to see than the obvious. This is the problem of teaching Magic to new players. Whether you humiliatingly miss an on-board win, or your “missing” keys are on the table right in front of you, it happens to everyone. It can even apply to knowledge. It is easy to forget how daunting […]
Rob thinks it’s time to burn some willows with this card!
Modern’s detractors have long cast the format as a writhing mess of linear decks, all ignoring each other or skillfully opening sideboard hosers all the way to each hyper-aggressive Top 8.

The decks are incredibly similar, both relying on Blood Moon and an A+B combo, but they do have different strengths and weaknesses. My write-up and video series with UR Breach can […]
Rob thinks that now’s the time to decide on what to do with it. Time to share your thoughts!
Hello again, Nexites, and welcome to a new edition of “Deck of the Week.” Today, I’ll be sharing a deck that I think is a good choice for the current metagame. It went undefeated in one of MTGO’s Competitive Modern Leagues, and should be something that’s worth trying. Orzhov PW Control, by aytor_92Â (5-0, Competitive […]
Modern remains wide-open, which carries implications for deckbuilding. Last week, I talked about mainboard flex slots. This week, we’ll tackle a significantly thornier topic: sideboarding. Due to Modern’s wide variety of linear decks, and the relative lack of powerful catch-all answers that you see in formats like Legacy or Vintage, ours is a format that puts […]
