SCG Atlanta came and went, and while Jeskai Black and Abzan Megamorph clogged up Standard's top tables, the Modern field looked far more open. Gruul Zoo! Allies! UR Storm! Restore frikkin Balance! I'm always hesitant to extrapolate too much […]

Man-oh-man did it meet its lack of expectations. Although the SCG Standard Open in Indianapolis saw some exciting performances by Bring to Light and five-color manabases, Modern was much less hospitable for our newest set. Only two of the Top 16 decks played any cards from […]

Battle for Zendikar promises to bring a lot of new toys to Modern.
