Below you'll find a list of all posts that have been categorized as “Modern”
Aggression has always been a common play style in Modern, but it has outgrown hyper-linear decks that “try to kill your opponent as fast as possible without interacting” — decks like Burn. That’s why you won’t see the famous archetype on this list of the best Aggro decks in Modern despite the fact that it’s still around and seeing play. …
It’s finally here! Our first look at the new Universes Beyond Lord of the Rings set! Players have been waiting with bated breath; Is this the new Modern Horizons 3? Will it have any good cards? How will this straight-to-Modern set change things? Well today we are going to take a look on the wild side and see what are …
Four-color is back! Since the banning of Yorion back in the fall, players have tried to make four-color work. On a few occasions it has succeeded, however, ultimately the deck quickly fell off the competitive radar as decks like Breach, Hammer and Murktide dominated the metagame. However with the release of All Will Be One, a new card was added …
It has been a bit since I’ve updated Card Kingdom’s Modern tier list, and with Star Charlotte Games Con Charlotte coming up this weekend, it seems like a great time to do so. When Modern is healthy, a cyclical metagame tends to develop. For example, if we start with the efficient end of the spectrum, decks like Murktide, Hammer and …
A few weeks ago I wrote about what I thought was the Modern best card from each color in Phyrexia: All Will Be One. I pegged Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler as the multicolor card, and while Tyvar has seen play so far, it appears I missed the mark. Atraxa, Grand Unifier is the card proving to be relevant — not only …
With the recent sneak peek at March of the Machine, one particular card stood out a bit to me. All right, a lot of cards stood out for a lot of reasons, but Faerie Mastermind caught my eye because it’s an Invitational card. Invitational cards have been a part of the game since near the dawn of Organized Play, and …
Toxic is a new keyword introduced to Magic in Phyrexia: All Will Be One that gives creatures the ability to dole out Poison counters to your opponents. While it is a lighter form of Infect, divorced from the attacker’s power, an opponent still only needs 10 Poison counters to lose the game. But as with any mechanic, some cards that …
Currently, Modern is about the most powerful it has ever been. The average card quality in decks is significantly higher than it has been in the past. Along with that, the best cards in the format are even more noticeable. Naturally the best decks almost always play at least a couple of the best cards in the format, unless they’re …
It’s always exciting to see all the new cards from a set during week one, but things started early this time. Due to recent changes in the legality of cards, last weekend’s Modern 10k at Star City Games Con Indianapolis allowed cards from Phyrexia: All Will Be One, even if it was somewhat hard to get a hold of them. …
There are a lot of powerful cards in Phyrexia: All Will Be One, but we’re going to focus on this guy — Venerated Rotpriest: This little druid has been making waves as some figured out it may be the linchpin for making several varieties of Toxic decks across multiple formats work. I fully plan on experimenting around several Proliferate builds …
