Now that Standard is back to being good again I think less focus on controlling Modern is happening. WOTC knew Standard wasn’t in good shape but they wanted to retain their players so they made sure they could keep playing Magic by making Modern attractive for the meantime. We’ve seen this pattern all the time in Modern when a new archetype rises and slowly fades down as everyone starts getting familiar and figuring out ways to beat it. It is normally to want to play the new hype and all. People like that feeling of playing the new “best” deck until it begins to look like just another good strategy. I don’t think we’re going to see any changes to Modern for awhile.
