Rock being Ragavan, a card that warps the format and insists everyone else change their list to respect it. These top 3 decks are so interesting because I like to think they make up the Rock, Paper, Scissors dynamic of the format.

It’s not the most difficult thing in the world to cycle cards away, cascade into a Living End, and turn your creatures sideways. The cycling helps you to rarely need to mulligan or to get stuck on mana. However, a majority of games go down quite the same way. You’ll want to understand what outs you are playing to. There are small interactions that are important to know. It’s also just a great choice is you’re just getting started in the format.

Living End is a fantastic deck if you’re experienced with it. Here’s a look at the common builds of the Tier S lists: Tier C – File everything else in the format here and below as unplayable, barring some unforeseen broken deck yet undiscovered Tier B – Devoted Druid, Crab-Vine, Boros Midrange, Tron, Thopter Combo, Indomitable Creativity, Dredge, Mill, Belcher, Jund, Death’s Shadow, Amulet Titan Tier A – Hammertime, Temur Rhino’s, Yawgmoth, Rakdos Midrange, Azorius Control, Hardened Scales, Burn, Grinding Station Tier S – Izzet Murktide, 4C Elementals, and Living End In addition, I’ll also go over in more detail what makes these decks so powerful in the current Modern format. Here’s what I expect the meta to look like by next weekend. With SCG Syracuse right around the corner I’ve made it my job to survey the current Modern metagame.
