I didn’t think I’d be writing this again, but I’m back with another Dimir Frogtide sideboard guide!
Over the last few months I have been trying different decks in Modern, but none of them spoke to me. I went back to Frogtide with a few updates from lessons I learned playing new decks – it’s been a real hero’s journey.

Hey everyone!
The Modern metagame has been quickly evolving because the “best deck,” Boros Energy, is very beatable, leaving room for a constant stream of breakout strategies. Final Fantasy hasn’t had a significant impact at the top tiers of Modern which is great because the metagame was already diverse without a shakeup. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

The Modern RCQ season is in full swing so I wanted to revive my Paper Tips series. As I watch paper Magic coverage I see small edges given away that could turn a mediocre day into a Regional Championship invite. I’ve been playing primarily paper Magic tournaments since 2001 and I’ve picked up plenty of tricks along the way. Today I’m going to discuss Modern-specific and tournament tips.

After much discovery in the Modern format I have been playing Azorius Affinity. This is pretty far from my comfort zone with Psychic Frog, but I’m still able to counter spells and draw cards. Affinity is a great choice for RIW’s RCQ taking place on June 21. It’s strong yet forgiving.

After splitting the finals of an RCQ with Golgari Midrange I tested my mettle at RIW’s qualifier last weekend. I’m pleased to report I piloted Golgari to an undefeated record into a top 4 split.

The Standard season is in full swing and I’m gearing up to play at RIW’s RCQ this weekend. Despite Modern being the headlining competitive 60 card format, many players boast about the health and fun of Standard and I have to say they’re right. There’s a strong deck for many styles of play and you can take down a tournament playing one of the best decks or a well timed metagame call.

After the banning of Dockside Extortionist, Jeweled Lotus, and Mana Crypt we’re beginning to see a new metagame solidify. Grixis-based Storm decks got a huge nerf without the explosive nature of Dockside and Mana Crypt which paved the way for a slower format.
