So, you're browsing around the forums and you see this new Modern section. What is this new format, you ask? I'm here to explain, random forumgoer.
Modern is a new format that, in the most general way to describe it as possible, consists of cards printed in the current card frame. This means cards that were printed in the current card frame, so if you want to use an older card in its From the Vault form, or a card from the new Commander decks, or even an FNM promo of an old card, you're out of luck. To be more specific, if it was printed in any core set from 8th edition onwards or any set from Mirrodin onwards, it's legal with the exception of the cards on a banned list. I'll get to that next.

You could've just said "all artifact lands" to make it simpler. They piss me off. I mean, I'm a HUGE artifact fan, but they make using Metal-Craft easier. >_>
Example: My Carapace Forger would become a 4/4 automatically, no fun there. I already got a Coat of Arms to suit me up.
Hooray! My deck is completely legal! :D
Also, not to piss anyone off, but talk with other players about Worldslayer . I honestly love this card, but by the time I can get a strong enough creature to equip it I'd already be dead. I'm sure SOMEONE has been able to find use for it.
I am both orderly and instinctive. I value community and group identity, defining myself by the social group I am a part of. At best, I'm selfless and strong-willed; at worst, I'm unoriginal and mindless.

Meh, wasn't playing around when artifacts flourished. In my opinion, if you're going to make an all-artifact deck -which I will-, use Darksteel Forge to piss people off. I'm waiting until I get Co-Op money to buy two of them.

And so we're off to the who can make the worst deck races!
Show me an all-artifact deck, I'll see how I fare against it.
Even after they banned some of the cards in it, it's still pretty explosive. This is an off-the-top-of-my-head list, but try out your own artifact deck against it:
I can't say all artifact lands since Darksteel Citadel is legal! But anyways, I don't do that because I want the list to be all official and whatnot.
Haha I was going to point that out. I miss running 4 Citadels, 4 Seat of the Synod, and 4 Ancient Den in a deck with Arcbound Crusher and Leonin Elder in it.
