Deep in the Modern annals lies a deck called Boremandos. This deck was the format’s first to feature Delver of Secrets, and was wildly successful in its heyday. It paired Delver with Steppe Lynx, Remand, and a hearty dose of burn spells to gently disrupt opponents and kill them quickly, and eventually inspired the blueprint […]

Rob reviews some of the cards he has featured over the past month.

Dredge is a deck that ebbs and flows in popularity quite a bit in Modern. At some points in time, you would struggle to find many Dredge lists in a tournament center, and at others, it is the leading archetype. The reason for this is well known: the archetype preys on the format when people […]

Is it time for you to dominate again?

Next week is Grand Prix Oklahoma City, the biggest Modern event before the Pro Tour. And this week, there is a Modern Open alongside the SCG Invitational. These events should generate a lot of useful data. It will be tempting to wield this data and metagame your deck ahead of the Grand Prix. I am […]

But as time goes on and Modern steadily grows in popularity, articles like PVDDR’s “The Problem with Modern” start looking hopelessly dated, and are met with a […]

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 […]

Rob takes a good, hard look at this shiny trinket from Coldsnap!
