Modern, as a format, has always been propped up by a “you can do whatever you want” mentality. However, during the last year, Yorion made playing creature decks in Modern incredibly difficult due to cards like Solitude, Fury, Prismatic Ending and Unholy Heat. The good news for creature fans in Modern is that many of these cards are on the …
Last weekend, DreamHack Atlanta featured the 2023 season’s first Regional Championship. I competed in the event and secured a Pro Tour invite, learning plenty along the way. So, today we are going to talk about three decks that taught some lessons and secured their pilots pro tour invites. The “best” deck for the moment Izzet Phoenix was the “best deck” …
Regional Championship Atlanta starts Saturday, which has certainly put Pioneer and its meta under the microscope. I’ve seen qualified players, newer ones and pros alike, wondering which deck to play this weekend as they test different options. A common talking point is that none of the decks seem to jump out from the pack, and I think that may be …
The Brothers’ War is out in the world on Friday, and all eyes are turning to Standard ahead of the new Regional Championship format. We are going to bring you more Standard content as a result, and today we are highlighting some updated decks now that the latest cards are here. Esper Midrange Esper has been one of the main players …
Last week I went over the five most likely cards from The Brothers’ War to make an impact in Modern, which you can find here. But as we get closer to the release of The Brothers’ War, I want to take a closer look at a couple of the cards I previously mentioned — Third Path Iconoclast and Haywire Mite …
The biggest Pioneer tournament of the year, DreamHack Atlanta, is just one week away, and players are rushing around trying to figure out what to play in a post Brothers’ War world. Can players trust the reliable meta decks, or will things change? That’s hard to say, but here are how some decks have changed after an injection of new …
Wizards of the Coast banned The Meathook Massacre in Standard last week in the company’s first of such actions this year. This has created an interesting wrinkle in the format, since you were either playing Meathook before or trying to invalidate it. While not format breaking, the card acted as a barrier that prevented Standard from having more deck diversity. …
This Monday, a key, Modern player suffered a ban in the latest Banned and Restricted announcement: Yorion the Sky Nomad. This is both a huge shake up for Modern while also keeping the rules of engagement relatively the same. Often, when a big ban shakes up the format, the cards you’re trying to beat and the removal you’re trying to …
At the beginning of what I call the New Modern era (Modern Horizons and forward), Rhinos decks centered around cascading into Crashing Footfalls burst onto the scene and remained a top tier deck for some time. But at some point, Modern adjusted and Rhinos fell out of favor — replaced by Living End and Glimpse combo. However, Leyline Binding seems …
Chances are if you play almost any amount of Modern, you’ve encountered the boogeyman of the format: Four Color Yorion. Chances are you’ve also lost to it, because, well, it is all of the best cards in Modern jammed into one deck. The card quality is through the roof, the card advantage is off the charts and their matchup against …
