Calculating the Cost
Andy understands that no one is made of money. So come see how simple it is to break into one of Magic’s greatest formats! Don’t forget to comment on your own experience getting to the Pro Tour.
Modern Deck Breakdown: Jeskai Control
I think that pure control is one of the most fun and rewarding decks that you can play, and right now the metagame may be a little soft to control. See what Andy is talking about in this week’s Mastering Modern
Modern Deck Breakdown: Delver
The Delver deck has picked up a lot of steam with the KTK release. See why Andy thinks it is the best deck in Modern and how to beat it!
Modern Deck Breakdown: Mono Red Burn
Red Deck Wins has been a part of almost every format at some point or another, and Modern is no different. Come see Andy’s take on this fine archetype and take it to a modern tournament near you!
Modern Deck Breakdown: Splinter Twin
Tempo-Twin is an intricate deck that aims to combine Splinter Twin with either Deceiver Exarch or Pestermite. When the deck is not winning with the combo it uses Young Pyromancer to play offense alongside all the elemental tokens he makes. See the ins and outs of this deck and take it to an FNM near you!
Modern Deck Breakdown: Jeskai Ascendancy Combo
If you have heard anything about anything in modern recently, it has been about the Jeskai Ascendancy deck, and rightfully so. See what Andy has to say about this enticing new deck!

I am very excited to have the opportunity to write articles and make videos for this growing website. I have been playing the Modern format since its inception, and I can say with absolute certainty that it is my favorite format by far.

I am going to take a look at mana bases as it pertains to legacy but with the re introduction to fetchlands into standard. Some of this will apply. The specific list i am going to us in question is my current Team Italia list(BWR) its a BW mid range list that splash’s Red for Value.

I’ve been on an absolute tear recently. I am something like 16-4 in my last 20 matches of M15 limited.

I think this is for multiple reasons including very good luck, but I would also like to relate it to how I have been evaluating creatures with 1 point of toughness. In each color there is a premier two drop with 1 toughness: Red has Altac Bloodseeker, White has Oreskos Swiftclaw, Blue has Welkin Tern, Green has Satyr Wayfinder, Black has Child of Night, and even the artifacts have Bronze Sable.
Read More...Black in M15
Here we are, the final color in our metagame breakdown. Black in M15 is most likely the weakest color. However, it will deceive you because of the fact that many of the strongest commons and uncommons in the set are black.
Green in M15
In M15 Green seems to be very hit or miss with a special lack of depth. This is shown in the commons and uncommons especially. The rares are very powerful and include many bombs, but the backbone of your base Green deck is nearly always underwhelming.
Read More...Blue in M15
In my initial power ranking, I put Blue in M15 as the third best color. However, now I think it may be worse than Green but am still not sure. We’ll have to give the format a little more time and see how everything shakes out. Here it goes…
White in M15
An overview of White in M15 including the viable token strategy. As a white drafter in M15 you’ll have several options at your fingertips and can build your deck with game crushing synergies. White’s archetypes, much like Red’s, are all based on killing the opponent as quickly as possible.
Red in M15
Red is very much the best color in M15 Limited. At all points on the curve Red has the strongest cards and it also has very efficient kill spells and bombs. As I go through each color I am going to give you my thoughts on the top 5 non-rare cards of that color and then rank the 5 possible archetypes that color shows up in, in order. Here we go!
Metagaming
Metagaming in Limited is vastly different than in constructed. This is mainly due to the quickly evolving nature of the format. Drafts are happening all the time on MTGO unlike major constructed events that occur primarily on weekends. It is also more difficult to force colors in a draft than it is to build a deck for a constructed event. Even though you know Red is the best color, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be opened at your spot on the table.
Mono W is The Truth

At the pre-release I found red to be by far the best color. I actually saw this and planned to play red at the pre-release. It turned out that my pool wasn’t strong enough to play red but I still thought the color was bonkers. I opened a bunch of goblins and could have had a very good aggressive deck if not for the lack of a solid support color. I ended up U/B control and lost in the finals to an aggressive red deck.
