Wouldn't it be nice if Wizards sold pre-constructed modern decks along with Modern Horizons sets, like with some of the archetypes that the set supports, reprinting some of the older cards those strategies utilize alongside new additions. Like maybe Affinity or Reanimator or Delirium/Domain Aggro or Cascade/Suspend and stuff like that. That would've been pretty cool.

Hey Prof, I am just trying to get into Modern after a long hiatus from 60 card constructed. With the new boom in Modern interest from MH2 and a lot of my LGSs starting to open up their play spaces, I couldn’t be more excited! But I have found myself trying to pigeon hole my way into a meta-ish deck and haven’t had much luck getting anything ready to just play (I am also just starting to rebuild my collections of playsets after dissolving most of them into commander singles)…. Anyways this is just a legitimate thanks for the advice! I think these tips came at a perfect time to reassure me to just start playing!

I love modern since a long time ago and you summarised why perfectly. I played a Mono Black Vampires deck for years, completely off meta but it never mattered. When you have your own deck and do 3-0 at FNM against Tron, Grixis, Jund and others 1000$+ decks you feel unimaginable satisfaction. Sometimes you loose to Burn, sometimes to D&T but it doesn't matter. It's always great to refine your strategy and get better for the next battle. For me modern has always been about finding your deck and tailoring it on yourself.

One thing I would recommend to someone not just trying to build one deck, but start a modern collection is try and make your first deck one that pivots easily. For example, if you build Izzet storm you are at that point pretty close to having izzet prowess too. Then a lot of those cards are going to slide into the borros prowess deck. After getting some of those cards you are pretty close to a regular Boros burn deck, etc. The same can be said for if you are trying to do different formats. Legacy Death and Taxes and Modern Death and Taxes share a lot of the expensive bits. Same thing with spirits if you are looking at the modern and pioneer spirits decks there’s a lot of cross over there obviously too.

Pro-tip for anyone looking to build Tron on a budget: the cheapest version of the lands are the Chronicles reprints, but may not show up on certain sites when searching for the card name (like "Urza's Tower") because they're listed with the specific variants instead (like "Urza's Tower (Shore)" ). This was the case on TCGPlayer at least, but checking again it looks like it's been fixed there.

I dont care what the pros say about which decks are good. I just love doing things I find funny. like getting a 100/100 hydra and flinging it at my opponent, or getting a few thousand goblins and using descent of dragons. Its all about enjoyment. You can make a strong competitive deck for like 20 bucks, and the creative process is just as fun as playing the game, if not more fun. With Commander, I make my decks to tell a story or base on a theme, like the continent of Africa. Its not about what IS good, its what CAN be good.

Modern is the best format because: -If you played standard for a while, then abandoned it, you already have some stuff legal in modern -Any deck is viable, as the prof said, anything goes, there's no meta, brewers have a shot. -Standard sucks? buy singles that upgrade your modern decks and there you go. -Multiplayer madness? play modern multiplayer, is even more bonkers than commander, because you don't depend on your singleton luck. -Also, is the best to bring old players back to the game. I have so many coworkers and friends that go "yeah, i used to play, but now i have them just for the memories" and i go "but, let's play, bring whatever deck you have and lets play." 8 out of 10 times that decks are legal in modern.

My friends and I used to play multiplayer modern, most of our decks would actually standard or barely ex-standard legal because we haven’t been playing for that long, it’s the most fun I have ever had playing magic. Even when our decks stayed mostly the same, games would always play differently because threat assessment would vary greatly from one game to another, easily achieved when we were playing 8 people games.

Years ago my LGS held a modern circuit with multiple tournaments and I ended up taking 2nd place with a weird monowhite flickerwhisp/tax/weenie brew. It was kind of like Agro with Ajani, kind of like death and taxes with flickerwhisps and aether vials and thalia, arbiters, and mindcensors; but it wasn't exactly either. It gave me some dead draws, but it also gave me huge flexibility (especially with a sideboard) to play around every major net deck at the events. There is nothing more satisfying than aethervialing in a leonin arbiter after a primetime slaps down and pathing it. Or using ghost quarters and arbiter to wasteland them while slapping away with cheap creatures. Modern is the only format I'd be interested in playing and it was the only format I saw people genuinely hyped about brewing interesting decks and going through old cards for fun interactions.

90-110$ is way too much for a lot of new players. While you won’t win as much, I think the best way to get into modern (if you have a collection of cards), find some cards you already have that work well together, maybe you have some tribal pieces, and get singles to fill gaps. I’d recommend going to a local game store, they can help you find what you’re looking for.

​@@deshkar2211115 fair enough tribes is a bit of a stretch, depending on the set. When I started magic it was through a deck builders toolkit, and a few more of the same later purchased by family. That gave me enough base to make a few pretty terrible decks, but I had some good pieces. I only ended up following through with elves (already had 4x Arbor Elf, 4x Llanowar Elves, 4x elvish visionary, 1x elvish archdruid, 2x sylvan messanger, some winding ways, and a bunch of misc sideboard cards). My LGS had Imperious Perfect, dwynen's elite, cultivator of blades, and a few more just ok elves. It got me a list I could play at an fnm, for ~$5 in singles (unfortunately probably 40-60 for the toolkits, but those had other use). Honestly I probably could've saved up and bought some ezuris and cocos, but eh I wasn't playing in any competitions (yet). I've spent way too much time in the pandemic making decks online, I try to make decks within the 20-40$ range, have some listed here: tappedout.net/users/Bony_Thicc/mtg-decks/ They are how I should have started competitive magic but I was a dumbass and made a combo deck around fraying sanity and traumatize (for over $100). It has yet to combo off on turn 5 and cause me to win, because I did not know how to build decks.

It's really starting to tick me off that KZfaq doesn't tell me when Prof puts a video up and I find out from Reddit hours later that there's a new video.....

Honestly, a modern challenger deck type thing would be very lucrative for Wizards. Take 4 of the top 20 decks in the meta, build skeleton decks of those 4 archetypes with most of the modern staples, and some modern chase cards at 1 or 2 copies. You could get away with charging like $50-70 for these.

Hell they could charge 100 if the card value is there. It would be significantly less expensive than the avg modern deck still, and might still be worth the pickup

Pretty recently, I built my first Modern deck. I built GW D&T because Vince inspired me. :)

While I do agree with you on the proxing a deck to get reps in and see if you like it, I would still encourage that you pick up a playset of the fetchlands since they are low cost right now. Being new to modern, or magic in general, you'll learn your mana base is the one thing you should sink money into. Have your platset of Fetchs as soon as you can for as cheap as you can to open doors for playing later on.

Moxfield is a great resource for people who want to explore different decks. You can build up your own or select one other users have made and play test them in browser.

I am planning to build mono green squirrel twin deck from SaffronOlive, I can barely control my excitement. Sadly I wanted to build rogue deck, because Thieves' Guild Enforcer is the best girl. But then I saw prices of Bitterblossom and Cavern of Souls... Let say I will keep rogues in mind for future plans.

I find it amusing that Modern has cards from Magics past going back 15 odd years, while Historic has cards going back 3 years... Words are funny.

Been so wrapped up in drama and spoilers, i had not stopped to consider this irony. Although modern is a term relative to vintage play and historic is a term relative to standard play.

historic has many cards going back further than three years thanks to the anthology sets.

Hey I love your videos but in something like this it would be cool [ or maybe a supplemental video] showing some examples of decks or staple cards for new comers to the format

I built a U/B Aggro Mill deck despite people telling me on and on that it isn't gonna cut it. But the obscurity works in my favour in even competitive. Nobody expects the noob move of my field of ruin targeting a Fetch to become two Archive Traps lol

Hey Prof and staff! No idea if you'll read this, but with WotC pushing Commander as the Frontrunner format going forward, do you think we could ever see a change in the supplemental set printing rules that would allow cards from precon Commander decks at the very least being allowed in Modern? In this hypothetical situation, let's argue that it would be from the next Precon Deck releases going forward, rather than trying to backtrack all the other cards into the format. Is this something you could ever see happening?

Would you say that a lot of points made in this video are also true of the Legacy format? (In particular those regarding all decks having bad matchups and the potential of being able to pilot a deck at a disadvantage successfully against a bad matchup).
