Past updates: Jan-1st-2013 Thread started with Jund, Affinity, Eldrazi/Tron, Birthing Pod, PiF storm combo, Infect, UW midrange, Red Deck Wins, Twin Exarch, Scapeshift, Second Breakfast, GW aggro, American Tempo, Solar Flare, Merfolk, Loam Vengance, Melira Pod, Zoo, BUG, UR, UW Control, Tokens, & From the Graveyard. Mar-28th-2013 1st major update, newly added decks include WUR Midrange, Gruul aggro, Grixis, The Rock, Living End, RUG, Martyr Proc, Boros.
Wow, thanks for this. Eldrazi Green should probably be called Tron though, Solar Flare's probably better under the Gifts title, and Project Melira is just Melira Pod.
Thank you Lantern, and to you and the above posters, I fixed/am fixing the names as we speak, I have been doing the same thing in the Legacy portion for almost a year now however I am much less familiar with modern, especially compared to Legacy. In either case I figured I'd do one for Modern as well.
As for what's not on the list, I didn't post it if it didn't perform and make any top placings & I was expecting Martyr Proc to be on there somewhere, but somehow it hasn't shown up even once in the top 16 at these larger events since Oct-1st-2012, which sucks cause my modern deck is Martyr Proc, though mine is more controllish, has way more enchants (runed halo, faiths fetters, ghostly prison, Oblivion ring), & has red splash for Lightning helix, Searing Meditation, & Firemane Angel.
Just to point out, GW Hatebears has 2 top 16 finishes.
Kibler finished 14th at GP Chicago. I finished 10th at GP Toronto.
Thank you, I will be fixing that now, though it will take a few moments.
-edit- Oh I see what happened, you got noted as a "The Rock" deck, instead of "Hate Bears", I think thecouncil.es had the deck listed as "The Rock" forgive me on that. Either way, fixed, The Rock/Hate Bears noted accordingly. Also grats on your finish of course ^.^
One suggestion though would be to add RUG Delver to the list; it is true that it has almost dissappeared from the metagame, but it's still a powerful strategy that unfortunately folds against Abrupt Decay and BBE card advantage.
I still play it and it rewards very tight play - it has a lot of 50/50 matchups and really few bad ones, unfortunately Jund being one of them.
Tarmogoyf, Delver and Snapcaster are always a fearsome combination (as you will certainly know being a Legacy player, no Mongoose here though :P) which I think will become good again with the Gatecrash Simic and Gruul goodies
Not really surprising. It's an easy deck to play. It essentially breaks down to having the $$ to buy the deck and letting it play itself. In a tourney setting you just hope to get a better hand than the Jund guy you are facing.
Seems wrong that winning a PTQ comes down to $$ and luck in any MTG format.
I feel affinity is losing momentum to be honest, If you dont win early game most decks have a high chance to beat you. Im thinking on building G/R Tron now.
Amazing thread, and very useful! Although I feel it doesn't reflect the metagame as well as before, probably because of the bannings. My opinion is that:
-Top tier decks are WUR Tempo, Pod, Junk, and Tron.
-Jund is definitely not as good, I'd go as far as saying that it's tier 1.5 now.
-Storm is effectively dead, or Tier 3.
Fixing that now as well, thank you ^.^ Forgive the 1st post madness, I'm less familiar with modern and I didn't catch that one.
There's no Storm or Past in Flames in that deck list. Storm is dead.
That is a UR Burn Ascension Deck. Nice deck, but it's not Storm.
"From the Graveyard" we call Dredgevine.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
Feline, any particular reason you left out PTQs reported on the Wizards's mothership? I know looking at your list you are missing at least one deck that has T8 a PTQ a couple of times (Mono U Tron.) Are you just counting these as GR Tron builds or just general Tron builds?
I got all the stuff from "The Council" http://www.thecouncil.es/tcdecks/formato.php?format=Modern
I did anything that was 100+ players or more, and it included anything, that being Grand Prix's, PTQ's etc, there were so many over the past few months that it took a while, though I doubt I missed any it's possible, the other thing is that maybe the PTQ was under 100 players? I could make an argument to go lower and have it be like 50+ players, or 64+, but even at 100+ there's still so many that it takes alot of time to do all the "homework" so I usually have a 100+ threshold, though sometimes it'll be like 98 if I catch one that's real close like that.
TL DR It might have been in a tourney that was under the 100+ player threshold at best guess, and if i did it based on 50+, it'd take me forever to get done, it already consumes the better part of a couple days to do it when it is, and those are days I am at home all day with time for it.
-As for the Storm PiFlames combo- I might just have to cut that one completely, if it's not performing at all, it's just not a deck anymore.

Cheers
As for what's not on the list, I didn't post it if it didn't perform and make any top placings & I was expecting Martyr Proc to be on there somewhere, but somehow it hasn't shown up even once in the top 16 at these larger events since Oct-1st-2012, which sucks cause my modern deck is Martyr Proc, though mine is more controllish, has way more enchants (runed halo, faiths fetters, ghostly prison, Oblivion ring), & has red splash for Lightning helix, Searing Meditation, & Firemane Angel.
The 1-2 punch of Abrupt Decay and Deathrite Shaman.
Current post- Grand Prix KC Modern Postmortem (7/7/13)
Kibler finished 14th at GP Chicago. I finished 10th at GP Toronto.
Thank you, I will be fixing that now, though it will take a few moments.
-edit- Oh I see what happened, you got noted as a "The Rock" deck, instead of "Hate Bears", I think thecouncil.es had the deck listed as "The Rock" forgive me on that. Either way, fixed, The Rock/Hate Bears noted accordingly. Also grats on your finish of course ^.^
You can find me on MTGO. My username is gereffi.
Fixing that now as well, thank you ^.^ Forgive the 1st post madness, I'm less familiar with modern and I didn't catch that one.
The difference is, the most dominate deck in the format plays 4 Deathrite in the main.
The cards you've given as examples are sideboard cards.
I disagree, it's most definitely a tempo deck.
One suggestion though would be to add RUG Delver to the list; it is true that it has almost dissappeared from the metagame, but it's still a powerful strategy that unfortunately folds against Abrupt Decay and BBE card advantage.
I still play it and it rewards very tight play - it has a lot of 50/50 matchups and really few bad ones, unfortunately Jund being one of them.
Tarmogoyf, Delver and Snapcaster are always a fearsome combination (as you will certainly know being a Legacy player, no Mongoose here though :P) which I think will become good again with the Gatecrash Simic and Gruul goodies
Not really surprising. It's an easy deck to play. It essentially breaks down to having the $$ to buy the deck and letting it play itself. In a tourney setting you just hope to get a better hand than the Jund guy you are facing.
Seems wrong that winning a PTQ comes down to $$ and luck in any MTG format.
Fix it please.
Big difference between Stony Silence/Smash to Smithereens and Deathrite Shaman/Abrupt Decay.
The first pair are narrow sideboard cards. The second pair are main-deckable, versatile powerhouses.
Mar-28th-2013, 1st major update, newly added decks include WUR Midrange, Gruul aggro, Grixis, The Rock, Living End, RUG, Martyr Proc, Boros.
If you'd like to make comparisons, the old list, which included nothing after Jan 1st, was:
01) Jund 29 (1st 5 times)
02) Affinity 15 (3rd)
03) Eldrazi Green/Tron 10 (1st 1 time)
04) Birthing Pod 8 (1st 1 time)
05) UR storm/PiF combo 7 (3rd)
06) Infect 7 (6th)
07) UW midrange/Restoration Control 6 (2nd)
08) Red Deck Wins 6 (2nd)
09) Twin Exarch 6 (1st 2 times)
10) Scapeshift 5 (1st 1 time)
11) Second Breakfast/Eggs 3 (1st 2 times)
12) The Rock/Hate Bears 3 (10th)
13) Delver blade/American Tempo 2 (3rd)
14) Solar Flare/Gifts 2 (5th)
15) Merfolk 2 (5th)
16) Loam Vengance 2 (7th)
-Top tier decks are WUR Tempo, Pod, Junk, and Tron.
-Jund is definitely not as good, I'd go as far as saying that it's tier 1.5 now.
-Storm is effectively dead, or Tier 3.
But all in all very nice, keep doing what you do!
There's no Storm or Past in Flames in that deck list. Storm is dead.
That is a UR Burn Ascension Deck. Nice deck, but it's not Storm.

I did anything that was 100+ players or more, and it included anything, that being Grand Prix's, PTQ's etc, there were so many over the past few months that it took a while, though I doubt I missed any it's possible, the other thing is that maybe the PTQ was under 100 players? I could make an argument to go lower and have it be like 50+ players, or 64+, but even at 100+ there's still so many that it takes alot of time to do all the "homework" so I usually have a 100+ threshold, though sometimes it'll be like 98 if I catch one that's real close like that.
TL DR It might have been in a tourney that was under the 100+ player threshold at best guess, and if i did it based on 50+, it'd take me forever to get done, it already consumes the better part of a couple days to do it when it is, and those are days I am at home all day with time for it.
-As for the Storm PiFlames combo- I might just have to cut that one completely, if it's not performing at all, it's just not a deck anymore.
