#SCGPORT is this weekend! Check out this blast from GerryT’s past to see if it’s the right deck for you on Saturday!
Daily Digest: Brave Modern
Today’s Daily Digest moves on to the Modern format for PTQ season – and Gerry takes a closer look at attacking with white creatures, finding the unfairest way there is to attack with fair creatures. Take a look and try it out before your next PTQ!
Daily Digest: Time To Get Nasty!
Today’s Daily Digest looks at an odd U/W/R build – not quite aggro, not quite combo, sharing a lot in common with the Heroic/Cipher decks while being incredibly different at the same time. Take a look and give it a spin before #SCGVEGAS!
Daily Digest: Ahhh! RUG Monsters
Today’s Daily Digest takes R/G Monsters to a third color – but not Jund, as we usually see it! What happens when you add blue for planeswalkers and protection instead? Try it out at #SCGVEGAS!
The Most Valuable Lesson You Might Ever Learn
Gerry is re-learning an important lesson about what works and what doesn’t in modern-era Constructed Magic, and he shares it alongside his experiences at this past weekend’s Season Two Invitational… and what he is trying out going forward, for #SCGVEGAS and beyond!
Daily Digest: A King’s Ransom
Today’s Daily Digest takes a fresh look at the Esper Humans archetype. It’s a niche strategy, and maybe what it’s been missing has been an eye towards streamlining the manabase! Try this brew at #SCGVEGAS!
Daily Digest: Seeking A New Tezzeret
Daily Digest has a fresh new take on Tezzeret! It’s been a minute since the age-old U/B Tezz decks felt fresh, so let’s see what a new color can do for us! Try this brew at #SCGVEGAS!
Daily Digest: The Best Hexproof List in Standard
One of the biggest pitfalls of Hexproof builds is their tendency to go clunky if you draw cards in the wrong order or if you stumble on mana. GerryT has a list that remedies all of the above in time for #SCGVEGAS!
Daily Digest: Deep Deceit
GerryT has found another fascinating and innovative build on Magic Online! Check out pr0xies’ crazy Esper list and see if it’s right for your next Modern PTQ!
Daily Digest: A Gift for Delver
Do you prefer Delver tempo decks or Reanimation strategies? Just do both! GerryT has unearthed a lovely hybrid brew involving our favorite insect and some of his very large friends!
SCG Providence Ruined My Invitational
GerryT was ready to go to #SCGINVI, but some strange breaks in the metagame happened at #SCGPROV. See a few of his surprising proposed lists and read about how he’s going to adapt before the big weekend!
Daily Digest: Mono-Time Warps
It’s pretty much accepted that taking extra turns can be impolite in Commander. In Modern? Not so much! You may not appreciate TKC55’s deck if you read through it too quickly, so be sure to take your time.
Daily Digest: Nivmagus Elemental Returns!
Gerry Thompson’s little (sometimes big) friend is back! With a little help from Earlder1, we have a brand new Modern list capable of some very fast wins!
Daily Digest: Boros Bloodbreaker
As much as GerryT likes playing with blue cards, this deck has something else in mind. Check out n00bits’ bizarre and innovative Modern list featuring Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Brimaz, King of Oreskos!
