Hello, and welcome to my first Modern tier list here on Card Kingdom! Modern is a wide and complex format with a lot of movement, which often makes ranking decks tricky. As such, this list is best viewed as a snapshot in time to help influence how you can build and update your deck week-to-week. Before we dive into the …
Okay, okay, I get it. I can’t make fun of Jund players for being Boomers anymore, because — well, the latest version of Jund is full of new cards. It’s no secret that Jund badly needed a facelift, and what better way to do that than adding a stack of Modern Horizons 2 cards! Last weekend, Bullwinkkle6705 won a Modern …
Cascade decks have been a pillar of Modern since the release of Modern Horizons 2, but Living End has been around for quite a lot longer. But long gone are the days of Demonic Dread and Monstrous Carabid. Living End went through another evolution once, with the addition of As Foretold and Electrodominance, which removed the cascade cards from the …
Lurrus of the Dream-Den has been a pillar of Modern for a while now, and thanks to Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Dragon’s Rage Channeler, the archetype has been supercharged. Black and red are the common base colors for Lurrus decks, but as Modern has evolved, they’ve included all five colors at various points. Each splash color has its own strengths …
The Modern metagame tends to move at one of two speeds. When a card or archetype becomes dominant, the metagame will change relatively slowly, and it may take a ban or an impactful set to shake things up. But if such a change does happen, the metagame may begin to shift rapidly, with decks changing position from week to week. …
By now Modern Horizons 2 has had time to show its impact on the Modern metagame. The four pillars of Modern are no secret, Lurrus of the Dream-Den midrange decks, Izzet Murktide, Hammer Time, and Cascade, these decks have by far seen the most success as of late. With every defined metagame there will always be decks hanging around the …
Stop! Hammer Ti…I probably should avoid copyright issues in the first sentence, huh? Hammer Time — or, as I like to call it, Bonk Tribal — has been quite the force on Magic Online over the last few weeks. While it certainly isn’t a new deck, it did get a few new toys from Modern Horizons 2 that have led …
Izzet decks have been all the rage in Modern lately. First, Izzet Prowess became a top deck, and now Izzet Murktide has taken those reins. When I sat down and really dissected Izzet Murktide, I felt an odd sense of familiarity. I knew these play patterns and how this deck was designed. Then it hit me: Izzet Murktide is the …
After looking through the spoiler list for AFR, I’ve come to the conclusion that Modern is in fact the Forgotten Realm the name is referencing. It’s clear that Wizards of the Coast wants to power down Standard after Throne of Eldraine rotates out of the format this fall. Unlike many recent Standard sets, AFR is unlikely to yield any breakout …
It’s the end of preview season! We’ve ventured through the dungeons, rappelled down our Fifty Feet of Rope, and found the loot at the end. With just a couple short weeks remaining until its official release, now is the perfect time to take a look at one of the most fascinating aspects of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms: Modality! Adventures …
