While the RCQ season is over, Modern continues to evolve. Energy's dominance continues unabated but new decks are still trying to challenge it to some success.
Modern's RCQ season ended in July, and the metagame should settle. However, there's churn in the lower tiers and dissatisfaction with the state of Tier 1.
Modern is adjusting in unexpected ways. Decks expected to thrive have disappointed, surpassed by unexpected decks. Incoming cards will further reshape Modern.
Modern's metagame appears to be stabilizing. However, Final Fantasy is bringing huge changes. Not from new cards, but from a hugely impactful rule change.
With the Modern RCQ season underway, Boros Energy appears to be running away with the metagame. Appearances are deceiving, however, as David explains with data.
As anticipated, Wizards banned Underworld Breach on Monday. Now we wait for Mox Opal to break another deck.
February reinforced trends from January, and Temur Breach Combo continues its ascent. Evidence shows that other staples remain strong but on a downward trend.
Despite new decks arising to challenge them, the preban standbys continue to define Modern. New engine cards from Aetherdrift may be enough to dethrone them.
With The One Ring banned and Energy nerfed, Modern is in an experimental phase. However, the data doesn't reflect this due to MTGO being the only data source.
The Modern Metagame has entered its final form. There is little doubt that bans are inbound. The question is which top decks will be hit, and which survive.
