PTQ Dundee Modern Tournament Report by Luke Southworth
Posted on March 25, 2013 | No CommentsI was running a slightly tweaked version of Caleb Durward's UWR Splinter Twin list. It looked great for the meta I'd seen in Manchester, where I managed to ID into 9th with BUG Infect- dodging the terrifying UWR Geist match up and its cocktail of spot removal all the way. This time I wanted to have a ton of 4 toughness guys, the ability to win out of nowhere, but also not to be stuck on a 1 dimensional gameplan which was too easy to hate. -
Card Numbers In Control Decks – Wisdom Fae Under the Bridge by Graeme McIntyre
Posted on March 18, 2013 | No CommentsThis article will focus on the number of given cards in control decks, and it’s worth bearing in mind that combo and aggro both need to be thought about in different terms (both feature a lot more 4s generally, because they’re mostly just trying to be efficient). I’ll include my own deck for tomorrow’s PTQ to illustrate examples. -
Crucible of Words – BG in Modern, Decklist and Tournament Report by Cyrus Bales
Posted on March 14, 2013 | No CommentsGreetings, last week was PTQ London, the last Modern PTQ I'll be able to attend, since the one in Dundee this weekend is just a little too out of the way for me.

Posted on March 6, 2013 | No CommentsThis weekend just gone saw PTQ Manchester take place with over 160 players. Being the modern format, but without Bloodbraid Elf and Seething Song, it offered us something a little different, this week I’ll talk about the deck I played, why I played it and give you a tournament report. -
Crucible of Words – Modern Confidant Reckoning by Cyrus Bales
Posted on February 28, 2013 | No CommentsWith everyone scrounging for a deck to play in modern, I thought I'd throw out an idea I had the other day, unsurprisingly it's black, red and white. -
Wisdom Fae Under the Bridge – New Modern by Graeme McIntyre
Posted on February 4, 2013 | No CommentsI think the bannings will make a pretty big difference to the format, and that they pose a number of questions, which I will attempt to shed some light on. -
Crucible of Words – Dusk ‘Till Dawn: UB Combo by Cyrus Bales
Posted on January 30, 2013 | No CommentsThis week I thought I’d share my thoughts on a potential new combo deck for Modern. The most notable thing about the deck, is that it’s UB, the colour of busted combo decks, Thopter-Depths and Mystical Reanimator spring to mind.
