Yeah, Stony Silence definitely gets a boost, which is nuts considering how prevalent it's already in sbs. Perhaps Rest in Peace sees uptick? RiP "deals" with Thopter Sword, PiF Storm, Melira...

In the deck that Bridge is played in, Lantern Control, it isn't quite as easy to deal with as you'd think, especially game 1. They have maindeck Spellskite and Welding Jar en masse to protect from...

I assume you mean Living End? It's a good deck, I agree, and it's been VERY well positioned in the Eldrazi meta as it had turn 3 sweeper potential. Do you think it'll get stronger in the presumed...

Ancient Grudge implies RG, which isn't a very strong foundation in Modern. Also, Lantern runs seemingly infinite Spellskite and Welding Jar, so targeted removal spells aren't quite as effective as...

A lot of twitter speculation that Mox Opal is on the Watch list for banning...

Eye of Ugin banned.

Ancestral Vision unbanned.
Sword of the Meek unbanned.

This is a clear signal they want to see blue as a contender. Depowering both Eldrazi and RG Tron, while giving us...

Idk, Modern attendance has been sky high. Modern card prices are soaring. They've printed two Modern-dedicated sets in the last 3 years (2013 and 2015). They actively police the format, suggesting...

bakofried -

Those cards may one day be unbanned in Modern, who knows. I'd say of those two cards, Ancestral Vision would be more likely to be unbanned first (if at all). A lot of the cards that...

Meh, UWR variants could be in tier 1.5 I suppose, but based off these results (2-7-14 through today):...

When I think of the top tier in Modern (consistently winning tourneys), I am focusing on the following:

* Affinity

* Twin variants (RUG, UR, Turbo even)

* BGx variants (Rock, Jund, Junk)
...

I've looked at recent PTQ, PT, GPT, GP results for Modern and I do not see what you're talking about.

EDIT: Here's the listing of all winning Modern decks for tourneys that are 33+ players from...

Modern definitely has similar tiers, in that there's a tier 1, tier 1.5, then a swath of tier 2/3 decks. I really don't know what you're talking about when you say that Modern is nothing but...

Sure, there are probably a couple cards that could come off the Banned list in Modern, just like there are in Legacy, but if that's what's holding people back from playing Modern, then don't? I...

Modern has a significantly smaller card pool than Legacy does. There is no way that Modern would ever be able to come close/match Legacy's deck potential because Modern's card pool simply can't...

I still have never read/heard a well reasoned argument as to why Modern should have Jace, Stoneforge Mystic, Glimpse, Dredge pieces, Ponder, etc unbanned. The vast majority of the people calling for...

Wizards has set some pretty hard rules for Modern, which undeniably has forged an identity. The set they chose to "begin" Modern with, the fundamental winning turn, the mana per turn restriction,...

There's already a format where you can cast Stoneforge Mystic, Jace, Glimpse, GSZ, etc... it's called Legacy. I have never understood the compulsion/desire/whatever from people wanting to turn...

Birthing Pod didn't get the axe. This leads me to believe that they likely will not ban it until they print a creature that completely puts it over the top (akin to Survival being okay until...

I think Chapin stated that it was the 5th/6th highest represented archetype at GP Richmond behind the heavy hitters; Twin, Affinity, Pod, etc. That's not bad and seems to be tier 1.5 competitive...

I agree about banned DRS will likely cause graveyard based decks to see an uptick, even if a temporary one. I anticipate more graveyard based decks to try to make more of a showing and other...

Stop thread stalking me. So Wizards supports Legacy with 2 tourneys out of 46. Wow, I was wrong when I said "all". You win.

As I stated, Snapcaster automatically gets better. Living End obviously gets better too. Beyond that, Idk. I mean, Gifts decks actually used 4 DRS themselves to ramp on color, so I don't know...

Didn't know 2 out of 46 tourneys counts as support. Cool. I understand the format just fine, you just don't agree with my opinions.

Unbanning Land Tax, an irrelevant relic from yesteryear, in 2012 means Wizards cares about Legacy? Tightening the Reserve List policy means Wizards cares about Legacy? Them printing Delver of...

"An active ban list babysit by Wizards"... isn't this what Legacy players have been screaming for? That Wizards take an active interest in the format and start unbanning/banning stuff? You believe...
