Adam’s back with a Modern tournament report fresh from SCGCON NJ. Read on to see just how Indomitable his Creativity was this weekend!
Modern
There’s been a leak of rares from Phyrexia: All Will Be One. One of those rares looks to completely rewrite the rules of Modern, as David E. explains.
Modern is moving in a decidedly red direction. Indomitable Creativity decks are diverging between paper and online play. David E. explains how and why.
New month, new Modern metagame update. While there have been shakeups within the Tiers, the last update of 2022 looks familiar… and that’s alarming.
The end of the year means an update to the Modern Ban Watchlist. The metagame has failed to deal with its outliers and so corrective bans may be incoming.
Modern’s metagame has been shaken up repeatedly, but that’s not obvious looking at winning decks. Modern is thus in a complicated place, as David E. explains.
Defining Pioneer has eluded David E. for most of the year, but applying the manabase lens reveals the format’s true identity… and that of the others.
The Modern metagame looks relatively stable. However, that’s deceptive. The data doesn’t show all the brewing by players trying to beat the established decks.
The metagame has achieved general stability, but the paper and MTGO metagames are diverging… and Tier 1 is half the field! David E. has the data.
All 2022 Magic sets have officially been released. To celebrate, Adam is looking back at the top 10 cards released in this year that have made waves in Modern.
The week after a set release is always full of experimentation and surprises. David E. has seen some very unexpected cards in unexpected formats so far.
It seems likely that The Brothers’ War will endanger Karn, the Great Creator in Pioneer. However, whether Karn is too good in Modern is far more complicated.
October has proven to be both a volatile and a stable month for Modern. David E looks into the reason for the contradiction and what to expect in November.
