U/B Fish is a great deck that is a lot of fun to play. The card quality is through the roof, and this is a good place to be in a new format. If you loved playing Faeries or blue in Legacy, you should love this too.

Here’s the crash course for anyone looking to enter Modern for the PTQ season. What are the false assumptions about the format? The big decks?
Abe Sargent reviews the fourteen legendary creatures from the Commander precon decks released six months ago. Now that they’ve seen the battlefield, which rose to the top? Which sunk to the bottom?
