So after my previous Blog I've decided to start doing a more regular write up about MTG. This will focus on tournament recaps as well as deck techs.

I play weekly in a 4-5 round Modern event, sometimes twice a week so I get lots of practice and experience with many different decks. With all this "Knowledge" I have floating around in my head I thought I'd share some of it with you guys. To start things off I'm going to set up a poll featuring the different decks I'd like to do write ups about.

Poll: What deck should I write about first?

(Vote): Blue Green Tron
(Vote): Black White Tokens
(Vote): Infect
(Vote): Merefolk
(Vote): Mill
(Vote): Blue Moon
(Vote): Twin
(Vote): Bant Hexproof
(Vote): 8 Rack
(Vote): Burn




Let me know what deck you'd like me to discuss, it could be a deck you find interesting, or maybe there is one you haven't heard of and just want to learn more about it. Also if there is a particular deck that I don't have on the voting let me know what that is and I can look into it. Also I noticed a lot of my information from the previous blog was useless to people so I will do my best to help provide information for both new and experienced players.

Thanks for voting and I hope you are ready to learn more about the modern format in magic the gathering!

-Nan-

I'm just about to consider getting into standard with BFZ.
Wish I could afford (or be truly interested in) modern because these seems like an awesome thing for you to do.
Keep up the blogs!

I'm interested in a U/G tron write up, especially which match ups it has that are better than the R/G version. R/G just seems better against affinity and merfolk.

Ooo, all of them! I don't play magic at any events, I only play casually with friends. My favorite deck is 1xLost in the Woods, 59xForest.

I voted Merfolk because I love U, I love Tribal, I love Modern, I love Islands.

My real heart is with UB Fae and Affinity though.

I think blue green and red black are the most powerfull and difficult to use. I had white/green at a point to, which is easier but i feel too defensive.
