With the race to Top 8 closing in, we can only watch as the players sort out the final answers with the last Saturday rounds of Pro Tour Fate Reforged.In this Modern League there is everything from UR Murktide, to Lantern Control, to Elementals. Amulet Bloom didn't need any of the cards that fell off the format and demonstrated surprising performance to make it to the final of Grand Prix Omaha a few weeks ago. With players testing and deciding Golgari Grave-Troll didn't change the graveyard game, Living End is preying on a reduced focus of sideboard answers. Living End, a deck off the radar, and Amulet Bloom seem to be flourishing. Splinter Twin decks in general are also doing well, with Tarmogoyf and Tasigur, the Golden Fang variants pulling ahead of the traditional configuration. Being the deck of choice for one of the powerhouse teams of the weekend certainly helped that number, however.

Of the aggressive decks (with enough players to confidently say something), Infect pulled in almost a 70% match win rate.

Jund, once the premier disruption deck, similarly underperformed here. Historically popular Jeskai Control also looked weak against the field. Zoo, indeed, underperformed as an archetype group on Day One.The average win rate of everyone in Day Two across the Modern rounds is sixty percent, so looking above and below that line is where eyebrows begin to waggle towards conclusions: Of course, what's also fascinating is how archetypes performed as groups through the five Modern rounds yesterday: Rolling things up makes this clear: Archetype While the Modern metagame is wide, pressure from more popular (and arguably more powerful) decks squeezed out more esoteric options. The biggest losses came in the variety of one-of or two-of player choices.

Zoo fell a full percent, perhaps indicating it's the weakest of the aggressive archetypes players tried to fit under the Abzan menace.Most other played-by-at-least-several-players decks, such as Burn, Affinity, Infect, Scapeshift, Tron, and Twin of all varieties combined maintained their presence. Looking at the breakdown of all archetypes means the Draft rounds influenced the counts, but this is what players will be facing: ArchetypeĪbzan, while still the largest chunk of the field, was flat across days. Making the cut for Day Two for a player isn't just performance in Modern, however. Rolling up all Splinter Twin varieties showed some modest resurgence of the blue-red combo in the wave of Delver of Secrets decks falling away.Ĭombo decks, like Pyromancer Ascension and Scapeshift, were decidedly unpopular.

Abzan came in force, pulling in nearly thirty percent of decks all players brought and existing in several distinct flavors.įast, aggressive decks followed up behind the Abzan menace: Burn, Affinity, Infect, Zoo, and others hovering at ten percent or less.From our first glance yesterday we discovered several things: While the metagames at Pro Tours are always a little skewed, given the clustering of elite players from around the world, taking a look is always an interesting exercise.
