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.

A very happy B&R update to you! The One Ring was slated to be banned in Modern on December 16 and WOTC delivered; there may have been at least one couch burned if that wasn’t the case.

We’re just weeks away from the B&R update on December 16 where The One Ring is likely to be removed from Modern.

#MTGFOUNDATIONS is EASILY one of my favorite Magic: The Gathering sets of the past 4-5+ years which was surprising to me because it is a Core set with a lot of reprints. Typically, because I don’t play 60-card Tournament formats anymore, and because I’ve collected the cards I actually want in their original printings – I tend to take a pass on Core Sets, but this set is AWESOME!

In all of Magic: the Gathering, there wasn’t really a format that existed that hit my buttons – so, I made up my own! If you’re a fan of multiplayer Magic and trying out playing with the most powerful cards ever created in a multiplayer setting – you’ve come to the right place!

I’m preparing for RIW’s cEDH 1K on November 2; these four cards being added to the ban list has shaken up the format. I personally welcome the bans to flatten out the average draws.

I’ve been having fun playing Dimir Murktide in Modern as it offers plenty of agency against the unfair decks preying on Boros Energy. Psychic Frog is basically The One Ring in this deck, but costs less mana. Today I’m going to share my list and sideboard guide after placing in the top 4 of RIW’s recent RCQ.

Hey everyone!
The RCQ season is shifting back into gear and I’m getting ready to play at RIW’s on September 14. Now that we’ve had some time to digest the impact of the Nadu and Grief bans I’m going to dive into the Modern metagame once more.
Let’s get to it!
