Am I the only one to be seriously impressed by the variety of decks being played in modern currently? I remember everyone saying that modern is just jund and affinity not so long ago, but the meta seems really healthy to me.
You're right - there is also jund without red and jund with white.
Wish wizards would update the standings... Round 13 but the standings haven't been updated since round 10?? Come on...

Be a lemming hunter. Don't be a lemming. Really, all you had to do was explain to him the popularity metric, not give him the lemming hunter manifesto...
Such good coverage, instead of watching neat decks lets watch Jund/junk, Pod and Twin all ****ing day. So much fun watching those boring as hell decks.
No, no, no lets not watch all the new and interesting decks...
Jan vs Enrico showed me the power of topdecks.
Flashback faithless looting... find both an Emrakul AND Goryo's Vengeance. With exactly enough mana to cast his Dispel backup.
Unsurprisingly, BGx is the most common archetype.
15 Merfolk. That's gotta be a record.
0 Ninja Bear Delver. Yeah speculators, keep holding on to those Disrupting Shoals.
People should stop complaining already. The Meta is fine.
I didn't have much luck after R1 today, went 1-5, playing against some fringe decks and insane topdecks. Still, managed to munch someone's board with a Massacre Wurm, so...
To be fair 2 of the UWR decks almost had it over the 2 Jund decks.
The first one (Dezani) wasn't even close. Games 2&3 Jund got Thrun down and that was it.
The second one (Giusti) Jund would have won if not for extra turns. His opponent scooped him in anyway.
Yes... trying to come up with different ways of saying "Its Jun...k, which is the black green shell... and next is.... jun...d... the best cards in black and green and red..."
Reprint Opt for Modern!!
FREE DIG THOROUGH TIME!
PLAY MORE ROUGE DECKS!

8 Rack deck turns out to be 7 Rack!
Previous GP winner Dickmann T32s. (His brother misses T64 by one place - so close!)
P.S. Twin got paired against Tron. I guess we won't be seeing Tron in the finals.
edit: Yep, Twin takes it 2-0.
