The Russian tech expert is here to help you find a way to break the metagame for this weekend’s Kansas City Open. Bring on the trolls!
Behind The Curtain – The Good, The Bad, And The Titan
Valeriy Shunkov talks about two decks before States: a RUG build with Werewolves as well as his own take on a red-green ramp deck, using his experience with Valakut to shape it.
Behind The Curtain – Balls Of Steel
Valeriy brings back a familiar face, Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas. Why is no one using him? What is the best way to use this incredible four-mana planeswalker in Standard? Take a look at his take.
Behind The Curtain Of Philly And Innistrad
Valeriy talks about helping his teammates prep for the Pro Tour in Philadelphia and cheering on his own from home. He also discusses Planeswalker Points, Modern, and Standard with Innistrad.
Behind the Curtain – Harry Potter and the Modern Hallows
Our testing team began asking: “If a house member could choose a Modern deck, which deck would it be?†And so we came up with five competitive Modern decks to satisfy the victorious urges of Hufflepuffs and Slytherins alike.
Behind The Curtain – Spherical Zoo In A Vacuum
Modern, like any format, is full of questions and answers. Valeriy starts with the questions: Zoo variants, Doran, and Hatebears. Don’t use spherical cows to solve your metagame problems!
Behind The Curtain – Extend It
Valeriy gives you one of the first looks at Extended since M12, the format for the upcoming Pro Tour in Philadelphia. He also provides insight into how to approach new formats such as this and where to begin testing.
Behind The Curtain – Brotherhood Of Steel
There are three Steel decks on the block that are making waves in Standard: Caw-Blade, Puresteel Paladin, and Tempered Steel. Don’t miss the Quest for the Holy Relic Puresteel hybrid build that 3-1ed a Daily Event!
Behind The Curtain – Old Friends And Old Enemies
Valeriy Shunkov shares his tech from across the ocean, namely that of the latest U/B Control lists, Valakut, RUG Twin/Pod, and Shape Anew.
Behind The Curtain – The King Is Actually Dead
Will the old king just be replaced by a familiar tyrant in Valakut? Valeriy resurrects his beloved Primeval Titans in preparation to remind people the power of the old lands. Check out the 3 new best decks in the format.
Behind The Curtain – Mutagenic Growth
The Standard metagame has two variables: good decks and good players. These two variables have converged into Caw-Blade. Valeriy Shunkov writes his Origin of Species and tells you what decks can beat the New Caw.
Behind The Curtain – To Kill A Mockingbird
Valeriy Shunkov is here to kill the mockingbird, bird that’s been terrorizing the format for months. Is the age of Caw-Blade finally over, and is Splinter Twin the new deck to beat?
