Pro Tour Magic Origins is here and the metagame seems to have shaken out over the past week. Adrian Sullivan may or may not be playing U/B Control, but if he does run it this weekend, here’s the cards he’s thinking about in new contexts for the event.
Bennie is usually a Commander kind of guy, and occasionally he touches Standard when there’s an event coming up – but Modern? What’s he got to do for that? Play a couple of popular Commanders and pull of some sweet, unexpected shenanigans – that’s what!
GerryT thought the Abzan Rally deck from #SCGRICH would be the be-all, end-all combo deck of Standard before #PTOrigins… but today’s deck shows there’s more combo out there if you want to look for it!
Our resident King of Control, Shaheen Soorani, returns with his latest builds in time for #SCGRegionals this weekend. He presents several decklists as battle-tested options for the aspiring control mage, each with their own advantages that might best mesh with your individual play style.
With the Abzan Rally deck being only thing standing between him and a trophy in #SCGRICH, Todd Anderson knew it was going to be a slog. He examines that deck’s strengths and probes for weaknesses as we enter #PTOrigins and #SCGRegionals weekend.
With Magic Origins now on MTGO, Pro Tour Champion Ari Lax begins his Limited preparation for Pro Tour Magic Origins in today’s draft walkthrough videos!
Hangarback Walker and Thopter Spy Network proved themselves to be quite strong in Jeff Hoogland’s U/W Thopter Control deck at #SCGCHI – and Jim Davis learned that lesson quite well for #SCGRICH and shares it here. Check his deck out and give it a try for #SCGRegionals this weekend!
Abzan Rally has thrown all of Standard for a loop and The Boss, Tom Ross, has his answers for how best to address it in time for #SCGRegionals this weekend.

Magic Origins has just hit MTGO and the Daily Events are firing – what sort of odd decks will the online metagame bring us in time for #PTOrigins and #SCGRegionals this weekend? Check out today’s artifact-centric deck featuring tokens and Pyromancer’s Goggles!
Ever since Kolaghan’s Command was printed, Grixis has surged to the forefront in Modern – and now it could be argued that this color combination houses the best aggro deck, the best control deck, and the best combo deck.
Jeskai Tokens has been a powerful Standard archetype for most of the past year, and it earned the first Top Eight for Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy at #SCGCHI. Follow Todd Anderson as he tests the deck out and decide whether or not it’s the deck for you at #SCGRegionals this weekeend!
Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy has started to have some serious breakout performances, but Chris Lansdell thinks that Chandra’s time can’t be very far behind. Synergy is key with both of these flip-Walkers, and Chris explores what makes them both tick.
How do we learn how to learn? That’s a deep rabbit hole to start going down without a guide, but Magic itself is a great toolkit for learning how to think and solve problems, especially when dealing with uncertainty.
Rally the Ancestors wasn’t the only combo deck we saw at #SCGRICH – it just got all of the buzz because it crushed the tournament. There was another combo deck based off of See the Unwritten instead, playing Atarka in World Render form rather than Dragonlord – check it out!
