Previously at the MKM Series: Modern in Prague

by | Sep 6, 2018 | 0 Comments

Metagame Breakdown

White-Blue Control, sometimes with a red splash, sometimes without, has broken the ten-percent barrier! Other than that, the big news concerned a surprising amount of Elves, which took the number two spot among tribal decks, right in the middle between Humans and Spirits.

With six copies in the running in total, Hardened Scales narrowly beat the traditional Arcbound Ravager decks. Meanwhile, black-green-based midrange decks—almost all of them Jund with a little bit of Abzan in the mix—fell quite a bit out of favor compared to previous events.

Among the fringe decks, Bridge Vine failed to put up decent numbers. Amulet Titan, Merfolk, White-Black Tokens, Red Prison, Soul Sisters, Moon Breach, and Grixis Control all found more followers. Though the biggest decks within the perennially huge “Others” category were Storm at eight copies and Infect as well as Scapeshift at seven entries each.
