I’m back again this week, scouring event results for more Modern speculation calls for your trading profit. Why should you care about Modern? Even if you don’t play, there is a lot of official support for the format. The Pro Tour for Avacyn Restored features Modern, as do several Grands Prix this year. Modern events fire almost every day on Magic Online, which brings us a steady feed of information. No doubt, pros are looking at these same results and compiling the best decks to bring to the Pro Tour. We’ve seen double-digit price changes during Pro Tours and I don’t think Modern events are any different. It’s the perfect time for breakout cards to shine. Let’s take a look at a few that I’ve identified early in the lead-up.
