Hello, Nexites, and welcome to a new edition of Deck of the Week. The new year is upon us, which means that Pro Tour Rivals of Ixalan is coming soon as well. As we gear up for the return to the first Modern Pro Tour in several years, we can expect to see pros exploring […]

Deck of the Week: As Foretold Living End

Rob San Juan — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 18:59:20 +0000

Hello, Nexites, and welcome to a new edition of Deck of the Week. I must admit that MTGO player 1310HaZzZaRd has been one of my favorite deck brewers, and he was at his best again last week. The deck we're looking at today is a radical new look for Living End, hybridized with an As Foretold […]

Deck of the Week: Bogles

Jason Schousboe — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 19:43:31 +0000

Greetings, Nexites. For this week's Deck of the Week segment I'm taking over from Rob, but you can expect him back in full force next week. Last weekend was an interesting one for Modern, as we saw an old fringe deck put up not one, but three finishes in high-level MTGO tournaments. I'm talking, of […]

Deck of the Week: Mardu Reveler

Rob San Juan — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 17:00:56 +0000

Good day, Nexites, and welcome to a new edition of Deck of the Week. In my relentless pursuit for the "next big thing" in Modern, I found another gem that we could try, and maybe polish, for the coming days. Without further ado, let's take a look at this undefeated deck from one of MTGO's […]

Deck of the Week: Orzhov Planeswalker Control

Rob San Juan — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 19:01:18 +0000

Hello again, Nexites, and welcome to a new edition of "Deck of the Week." Today, I'll be sharing a deck that I think is a good choice for the current metagame. It went undefeated in one of MTGO's Competitive Modern Leagues, and should be something that's worth trying. Orzhov PW Control, by aytor_92 (5-0, Competitive […]

Deck of the Week: Eldrazi Stompy & Taxes

Jason Schousboe — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 18:07:46 +0000

Greetings, Nexites. We have some exciting things in the works this week, but today I merely get to bring you another Deck of the Week. Much as I wanted to highlight something novel from Grand Prix San Antonio, it seems an avalanche of Death's Shadow and Affinity decks were the going fare throughout much of […]

Deck of the Week: Krark-Clan Trawler Eggs

Jason Schousboe — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 20:24:08 +0000

To my mind, few archetypes exemplify the spirit of Modern better than Eggs. For anyone not already familiar with the deck, just looking at a list is likely to induce head-scratching and incredulity. Just how, exactly, does this utterly insane pile of unplayable chaff win a game of Magic, our hypothetical newcomer to Modern may ask. […]

Deck of the Week: GW Eldrazi Evolution

Jason Schousboe — Tue, 14 Mar 2017 00:15:44 +0000

Greetings, Nexites. I'm deep in the middle of the late-February/early-March metagame update, which I will have for you by the end of the week. In the meantime, I'm highlighting an innovative take on the Eldrazi tribe that was taken to a 5-0 finish in an MTGO League. We've seen a large number of decks sporting Eldrazi creatures […]
