David E. talks Ledger Shredder, the unlikely bird taking just about every constructed format by storm. But is Shredder here to stay in Modern? Well… maybe.

The month after a new set release is always an exciting time in the 5-0 dumps: full of churn, upheaval, and of course, ideas! In these periods, players are far less concerned with identifying metagame direction and innovating solutions to emerging trends; indeed, attempting to do so this early might prove a fool’s errand anyway. […]

As Standard’s metagame evolved post-rotation, a host of new commons and uncommons are seeing significantly more play. This week Sig examines these cards and identifies top bulk picks for a future buylist.

Adrian unveils his latest series on Arena gameplay, starting with a tempo-based Izzet Budget Build.
