Now that we’ve got our hands on the powerful reprints from Conspiracy 2, there’s only one wise path forward as far as MTG finance is concerned: sell. Sigmund explains.
My Eldrazi Stompy article from last week was relatively well-received, but some users had questions about my updated Monkey Grow deck from the week before. They’re in luck—I took the deck to a Face to Face PPTQ and went 4-2, loading up on insights along the way. This was my third PPTQ with the Bedlam Reveler-featuring Monkey […]
Today, I figured we’d take a break from brewing and get back to analyzing some pure tournament results. I’m still winning with Spell Queller, but high-level Modern events don’t come around often enough to ignore them completely. This past weekend, Modern got a lot of love in the form of the split-format Star City Games […]
Mike hits on some of the high points of Conspiracy: Take the Crown, including a few sleepers you may have missed!
Score one for the budget guys: Elves won the Star City Games Invitational in Somerset, NJ. While Liam Lonergan’s deck still retails for about $800, almost half of the price is in 4 Cavern of Souls and 3 Horizon Canopy. If you’re tight on cash (or waiting for a reprint, like me) you can get away with some […]
The August Modern Grand Prix kick off this weekend. Brian considers five cards that look set for gains as players gear up for GP Indianapolis.
Without the need to grind after winning an early PPTQ, I’ve been free to brew and experiment. As always, some of these new ideas are good. Most are not. But you never find out unless you indulge your inner Mythbuster and proverbially throw your deck at the wall to see if it works. Never actually throw your […]
If you tuned into the Star City Games Invitational in New Jersey this weekend, you had the pleasure of seeing somewhat fringe contender Elves take down the Top 8. Elves is certainly not an unknown quantity, but it also doesn’t exactly make the list of decks Moderners expect to face at every tournament. Going into this weekend […]
Sigmund surveys the downward trend on eternal cards people have noticed of late, and discusses how it pertains to Magic finance more generally.
August’s Modern Grand Prix weekend is just five days away! Sheridan has a handful of targets you’ll need to check out before coverage starts.
One of my favorite things about Modern: the power level is high enough to allow us to play with Lightning Bolt, but low enough for Standard sets to consistently impact the format. Eldritch Moon injected some welcome lifeblood into my pettest deck, Monkey Grow, with Bedlam Reveler. The set also gave a boost to another of my […]
The SCG Invitational this weekend is sure to shake up both the Modern and Standard metagames. Ryan presents some picks for both formats.
