Announcement likely going to happen after this round
Are Modern PT matches best of 3 or 5? I want to hear the announcement, but I don't want to sit in front of the computer through the match.

Due to real-life obligations, I am taking a long break from Magic which may include missing the local Legacy GP. Apologies for not being able to keep my threads updated.
I'm fairly interested in this since I'm coming back to MTG (left around Time Spiral) and I'm really liking the Modern decks I'm seeing. It'd be nice to see a goyf reprint but I'd settle for Fetches.

It's not because not enough people were buying it, it's because they overextended into mass market territory... If they had limited it to Game Stores, it wouldn't have been cancelled in my opinion.
But, they did, and it was. So let's move on.
They in all seriousness COULD release a Modern-border Non-Standard legal set with Modern staples and even bringing older cards that are very much needed into modern (I.E. Onslaught Fetches, Stifle, etc.)
How much longer do we have to wait now? lol, I heard the announcement was at the end of round 14,
hmmm doubt it. That would mean they would have to make stuff like swords to plowshare from the duel deck series legal. Im guessing this will be a booster type thing. Or maybe a cube worth of modern cards.

Modern Core Set is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard anyone say on this forum...
That's just like... your opinion man...
I think it's actually one of the most InGENIUS ideas i've ever rattled off.
IT would solve a LOT of problems with modern right now, like card availability issues, considering there's only 2 people in my area with access to Arcbound Ravagers and cards like Thoughtseize, Bob, and Goyf.... You don't know how hard it is in some places to drum up Modern interest because all the cards cost too much and you can't find them locally...

I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
well there is no modern following in my area.. and I only ever built one modern combo deck "just incase" so this news does nothing for me.. unless it happens to be more cool stuff that can be used in EDH.
Hmm, a way to be able to get me and my son into another format without killing our bank, well at least at the start? If true then my wife might just yet have another reason to hurt me.
Lets hope that they have learned from all of the dissension from Commander's Arsenal. It would be nice though, as I wouldn't mind playing Modern, and now having Shocklands more accessible as well as having this released, I approve of Modern being more accessible.
Tarmogoyf is a 10/10, cool art, cool "ability", simple to understand, super powerful. I want him for that reason, not that he is $100.
I hope they make goyf attainable for not 3 arms and a leg.
THE 4/5 will be in it if it is a modern "coreset"
Ugh, another round of pro tour coverage before the announcement...
So basically an hour to go!

This is pretty exciting. Can't wait to hear the news! A reprint of Tarmogoyf and/or Dark Confidant doesn't just benefit Modern, it's great news for Legacy as well.
It would be funny if Aaron Forsythe says "...for magic online players only", or something like that, and we would all weep.
I bet this thing would have white borders to distinguish it from the original release, if you know what I mean, and have the original expansion symbols. So long as these have white borders, the secondary market prices of the originals won't go down. Something like a black border tarmogoyf would cost a ton, while a white border tarmogoyf would cost less.
Even if this was black border, it would probably use its own expansion symbol, rather than the original card's expansion symbol.
I don't know what they are going to do, whether they are going to change the card border and keep the original expansion symbols, or keep the borders as black, but have brand new expansion symbol.
Oh Boy oh Boy oh BOY! Modern Chronicles!!!! HORAY! (At least I hope)
I got so elated by this post that I literally ignored the rest of the thread to comment.
Chronicles was one of my favorite sets EVER! I started playing slightly before it was released and it was a way to acquire and familiarize myself with cards I may have not been able to own. I think if they did something like that again, it would be awesome. Average Magic players (I think) take breaks from playing, time to time and it would be cool for them to pick up some of what they missed out on. Original expansion symbols would be a nice touch, but I wont hold my breath on that one.

Why on earth was it one of your favourite sets? The cards from Chronicles were almost universally crappy. The notable exceptions being City of Brass, Erhnam Djinn and the Elder Dragon Legends, which in hindsight, were pretty bad cards even for the time (Nicol Bolas being only marginally playable). Aside from those cards, It had none of the powerful and interesting cards from any of the four expansions it took from. That's the kicker for me, the fact that it was supposed to be a look back at those 4 early sets, but it didn't contain any of the really great stuff from any of them. What a waste of money!
I actually regret buying a whole bunch of Chronicles when I was a kid, when I could have been buying Revised (which had a whole lot more playable cards).

My twitter spamming about goyf to Forsythe finally had some success.
So basically an hour to go!
maybe this product will liven it up...
