If you guys really want to get Veil or Astrolabe banned just make 100 Twitter accounts and go on a Twitter crusade [oops, sorry] to WotC about them being wayciss. No strategy would hit them harder.

Oh God, the multi-level marketing type corporate-speak by Blake in that video. WotC's actions make more sense now.

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

Since everybody is preferring Arcum's Astrolabe and the card is reaching problematic play rates(I would even say bannable ones), just give Preordain to Modern, so that it can have a competitor. ... Splinter Twin could also be problematic with Veil of summer and T3feri and other, numerous additions....

What's everyone's predictions for future bannings in the shltshow that is Modren? Mine: Within six months, Opal and Urza banned. Within a year, Ancient Stirrings and/or Once Upon a Time banned. Yeeeeah that's completely unrealistic and completely unjustified. For one, they would never go for 4 bans...

Once Upon A Time moves in the two aspects the Modern format should be focusing on and the same two mtg is traditionally focusing on: Creatures and Lands.

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

Once Upon a Time has overtaken Lightning Bolt as the most-played nonland card in Modern, at a whopping 33.6% of decks. Bolt has, of course, been the most-played Modern card each year since its inception. It's January 30, so we have two clean, solid weeks of data after the January 13 announcement. I...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

For me, Legacy is dead. I can not find a single FNM in my whole country where events fire. You can't kill what's dead. That's why I believe Wizards made a great movement in cutting all Legacy GP's and SCG's are being cut also, as I can see. I would be even happier if they try to mess around with it...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

I'm not sure how anyone is surprised at the banmania. Now that 1.) unfun and 2.) anticipatory/preemptive bans are fair game, it's open season. Banmania is a permanent part of the format now. You get what you deserve, Modern 🤡 I agree that unfun is now an established ban criterion, for better or wor...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

No need for other bans now. Modern seems to be heading into a great direction. Lot's of things have changed. Serious question: Why 0 Urza decks in here? Since so many people think Urza should be banned? Nah, Urza is fine. Latest Modern Challenge: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-s...

I know the joke about Modern actually being a rotating format but I didn't realize they meant that the format itself would rotate out.

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 08/26/2019)

Emry has been dropping since she got spoiled. The reason she dropped even more is because she's been opened more, it's like the 2nd week after release. Like I said, it could be that it's just a new card dropping in price, but typically a card being a major part of a format's new dominant deck will ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 08/26/2019)

I was looking at MTGStocks' list of cards that have gained and lost the most value in the last week. Standard's Field of the Dead has gone from $8.99 to $5.99, and while it's unusual to see a centerpiece card of a dominant deck drop in price, this tells me that people are anticipating a ban from the...
