Todd VS. Brad: Infect VS. Grixis Control

BBD VS. CVM: Dredgevine VS. Naya Company

Catch up with BBD and CVM as they prepare for #SCGCHAR this weekend, battling with some of Modern’s powerful new decks to explore the shifting metagame!

Modern Mentor

While Modern is not exactly well-known for its plethora of successful control decks, that is not going to discourage Shaheen Soorani in the least. Check out his updated Esper build for #SCGCHAR this weekend and test it out yourself if you’re also a control mage!

CEDTalks: Patrick Sullivan

Cedric Phillips sits down with Patrick “PSulli” Sullivan to chat about their performances at #GPDetroit, catch up on Modern for #SCGCHA, and eye up the potential first sponsor for the Open Series.

With #SCGCHAR bringing Modern back to the forefront of the Open Series this weekend, Pro Tour Champion Ari Lax explores the shifting Modern metagame with a sweet Naya beatdown deck.

Magic Origins In Modern

We’ve seen how Magic Origins greatly shifted around the Standard format, but it’s doing the same to Modern too, just without us looking as closely at it. Patrick “The Innovator” Chapin checks in on the format to see where it’s at ahead of its return at Worlds next weekend.

Igniting Jace’s Spark In Modern

Modern has gotten several new Magic Origins cards to shake up the metagame, but the one Michael Majors is interested in trying out there isn’t some tribal Elf or Goblin, it’s a two-drop from the Planeswalkers tribe instead!

The Modern Landscape

Modern has proven to be a rapidly shifting and dynamic format – but we’re used to it only shifting when a lot of attention is paid to it. Anthony catches up with recent developments in the Modern metagame before this weekend’s Modern Open in Charlotte!

Todd VS. The Boss: Doran/Zur VS. 8-Rack

With the Standard Open returning to Charlotte this weekend, we’re also returning to the Modern format which has been shifting wildly during this PPTQ season. Todd and The Boss, Tom Ross, explore some of Modern’s more unusual decks in today’s Versus Video.

Grixis may just be the best aggro, combo, and control deck in the Modern format – and to explore that theory, Pro Tour Champion Ari Lax picks up Grixis Delver to administer the beatdown and see what happens.

Format Problems And Solutions

Shaheen Soorani likes healthy formats, and those usually have at least some room for true control decks to thrive. But Standard, Modern and Legacy really grind his gears right now, and he’s here to share why.

The Rush Of Rogue

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!

Video: Modern Abzan Rally

With Abzan Rally potentially ready to take over Standard this weekend at #PTOrigins and #SCGRegionals, Sam asks an unconventional question – could the deck make it in Modern as well?

Grixis In Modern

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.

While GerryT has been liking Jund recently as his B/G/x deck of choice, today he challenges that preconception by testing out Siege Rhino and friends to see how well it matches up against the Modern field.
