Buckle up. The Star City Games Regional event decklists are here, and all of a sudden we have a ton of Modern results to sift through.

Modern breaks from time to time, and there was significant concern in recent months that the format had become dominated by linear aggressive decks. If you weren't beating down, you weren't trying. More and more articles and tweets have been popping up calling for bans, unbans, and even overhauls, though recent Modern results have demonstrated […]

Deck of the Week: Skred Red

Jason Schousboe — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 17:00:57 +0000

Well, I realize it's been a long hiatus since our last Deck of the Week, but we're back nonetheless. I spent much of the weekend tuned into coverage of Grand Prix Dallas, and if most of the on-camera archetypes were boring mainstays and known quantities, the deck that took it down most certainly was not.
