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.

While it certainly isn’t a new deck, it did get a few new toys from Modern Horizons 2 that have led …
Is Izzet Murktide the New Grixis Death’s Shadow?
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.

4 Pillars of Modern Post-MH2

New Budget Modern Decks with MH2
It may have only been released just a few days ago, but we’re already riding the waves created by Modern Horizon 2’s impact.
