Standard looks healthier than it has in a while




Admit the problem when it's too late, and people aren't motivated any more to demand action for no other reason than BECAUSE RAVNICA? Stay classy, Wizards.

No blame to Jacob; it's not his fault.

Yeah it could be the wrong decklist. Anyone care to explain?

I actually can't figure it out.  I don't see a 4-0 modern decklist by that player for September 15th.

The only one I see for that date is by trollcat:

2 x Breeding Pool
1 x Forest
5 x Island
4 x Misty Rainforest
1 x Raging Ravine
4 x Scalding Tarn
2 x Steam Vents
1 x Stomping Ground
4 x Delver of Secrets
4 x Snapcaster Mage
4 x Tarmogoyf
2 x Vendilion Clique
2 x Burst Lightning
2 x Cryptic Command
1 x Deprive
4 x Lightning Bolt
3 x Mana Leak
1 x Remand
3 x Serum Visions
2 x Sleight of Hand
1 x Spell Pierce
3 x Spell Snare
2 x Thought Scour
2 x Vedalken Shackles

Sideboard: 
2 x Ancient Grudge
3 x Blood Moon
1 x Combust
2 x Huntmaster of the Fells
1 x Nature's Claim
1 x Negate
1 x Phantasmal Image
2 x Pyroclasm
2 x Threads of Disloyalty

Thanks for the mentioning. i have been playing RG for quite a bit with a lot of success.

It has a very good position in the meta: Zombies, pod, delver and even trading post or esper are all fair to very good matchups. Especialy very good RB zombies matchup is something that i rly rly like about the deck.

Infect was a big problem - they are too quick, are quite resilient to sorcery speed removal thanks to nexus (that's only non-control matchup were bonfire isn't a miracle) and they have plenty of time to kill us, as (despite the popular name) this is not an agro deck, but a midrange. So, 2x naturalize (for defiance), 2x Spellskite and a Melira are all dedicated for infect in the sideboard.

Is this guy joking about the Modern metagame? It is expectionally diverse. Lets take a look at some results. I randomly selected this daily event from 9/23. www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlin... . 3 Different archetypes in the 4-0 and 2 Jund and 1 RUG out of the total 14 decks listed. Another random one from 9/21. www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlin.... Here we see three new decks in the 4-0, one of which being Jund. Still no RUG in 4-0. Some of the more recent ones like www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlin... from 9/25 show Affinity, MonoWhite, and 2 delver in the 4-0. 

Seriously, what daily events did this guy look at?

Actually, I found the player, in a 9/13 event, but he went 3 - 1 with Reanimator. As well, going through all the events listed under the Decks of the week section, I don't see that particular decklist at all between 9/13 and 9/20. Considering it's missing the trademark Delver and is running Blood Moons main, it should stand out pretty well.

Hm.  I wonder if he got the date wrong or if they just don't list certain tournaments...
