Hey guys! Welcome to Episode 5 of our Modern Nexus Video Series, where we pick a sweet list and run it through some matches on Magic Online. This week we have Luis Scott-Vargas’ Bringing Gifts deck, which he talked about a little while ago on the Mothership. This deck features the traditional Four-Color Gifts Ungiven […]

They key to brewing successfully is to work with cards you love. My enduring fascination with Tarmogoyf and Blood Moon led me to develop a strategy that gets the most out of both cards. Last week, we saw the birth of TURBOGOYF and the deck’s first draft. This article tracks the deck’s development, which culminates in a build with Siege […]

For those that have been reading my column for the past few months, you might have heard mention of “context” a few times.

Battle For Zendikar is finally live on Magic Online, which means two things. 1) I’m out of tickets, and 2) we can finally grind some matches with new updates! I’ve got a lot of things in the works, and expect some B/W Tokens and Bring to Light articles and videos coming soon, but for now […]

Greetings Modern Nexites! I have seen most of you before, but unless you pay attention to the comments you have no idea who I am. I am David Ernenwein and for the past several months I have been the content editor of this illustrious site. Normally I stay behind the scenes but today I have […]

Sometimes it’s worth remembering where you came from and seeking knowledge and tech from the past. The 2015 World Championship brought unexpected decks to the forefront with Living End and Bogles making waves almost out of nowhere.
