Modern has been shifting steadily ever since Magic Origins entered the format, but one thing we didn’t expect to see was the return of a super-fast Elves combo deck. CVM shares his build from #SCGCHAR and his thoughts on how to improve it for future events.
CVM almost went with his heart and played Stormbreath Dragon at Grand Prix London, but instead he went with the safer calculated choice and played Bant Heroic. Read about his entire weekend within, and what he’d do differently if he could do it all again!
Chris VanMeter has been a fan of Stormbreath Dragon for some time now, and to see it make a Grand Prix Top Eight the week before he’s flying to #GPLondon with the rest of the VS Series crew just warms his heart – and warms up his sleeves.
Chasing new information and decklist tech over video streams can be haphazard at best, and CVM had to “only” play last week’s best deck, Abzan Rally, because he couldn’t get a decklist for U/R Thopters in time for #SCGRegionals. Check out his thoughts on the shifting Standard metagame inside!
CVM and Todd Anderson both played Bant Heroes at #SCGRICH, and they met in the semifinals with the same build. Read all about it here, and give it a try before #SCGRegionals this weekend!

CVM is an early fan of the new Elves from Magic Origins, and he shares his initial thoughts on that archetype and how to build it after a week’s worth of experience now that the full spoiler is out.
Chris VanMeter has really settled into a solid groove this season with G/R Dragons, but Magic Origins is about to shake things up drastically and he’s got to figure out what comes next for him and his beloved Stormbreath Dragons.
Chris VanMeter went with G/R Devotion instead of G/R Dragons this past weekend, and as good as Devotion is, that is not a mistake he intends to make twice.
Chris ran back Amulet Bloom at Grand Prix Charlotte and reflects on both his changes and his results, then looks at metagame shifts in the Standard format for this weekend’s events.
Chris has wanted to make it to the Top Eight of an Invitational for so long now, and he got his wish – and a lot more! – this past weekend. But now he’s got a Grand Prix to look forward to, and he updates his Amulet Bloom deck to take down Charlotte!
CVM continues his work on mastering the art of Amulet Bloom in time for you to take down #SCGINVI and Grand Prix Charlotte in the coming weekends!
The time for chivalry is over! CVM and his old pal Jim Davis are ready to duel for the death on topics that surround #SCGINVI, Grand Prix Charlotte, and of course, that ridiculous foil Tarmogoyf!
