I have Archived the previous Banned List discussion thread. Please use the new one for post 12/20 discussion.
I have put in a request to have Merfolk and Elves removed from Established. Elf Primers and Decklist threads have been moved to Deck Creation. Other Elf threads have been archived.
I have archived Deck Creation prior to 9/30 for any threads that didn't have at least 3 pages of replies. If your thread got archived and you wish to continue discussing it, please post a new thread and link to the old one.
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.
Since the list has been somewhat stable, and the format seems rather diverse, Ban list discussion has been merged into one thread now to reduce the number of stickies.
We will make other threads availible if necessessary to keep the discussion on target.

We have added a thread for people who are looking for advice on what deck to play. A list of MTGS primers for Modern is also in that thread.

MTG Salvation is running Modern tournaments courtesy of Cockatrice. There are no prizes, but it is a fun way to test your Modern format skills and decks vs. other members of the community.
The tournament is run by MTGS member Lantern, and more info can be found here.
We intend to open new threads for specific events (PT/World Cup et) and when the next PTQ season comes up.
A special thanks to Bippytheslug for all his metagame number crunching.

Several updates have been made to the Modern Forum Rules. Please review them if you have not read them in a while.
The most recent updates pertained to [Thread Tags].

The Modern Forum Rules has migrated from its place in the announcements to a sticky in the general part of the forum.
Also;
MTGS has a new system of adding "prefixes" to threads. This way we can have things such as [Official], [SCD], and [Primer] look a lot more professional and consistent. You can add a prefix to the first post of a thread by editing it and clicking the "Go Advanced" button. The option for a prefix is also available when you first create a thread. The following are prefixes you can use in the modern forum:
[SCD]
[Primer]
[Deck]
[Idea]
[Budget]
There are also other prefixes that only mods can use, such as [Official]. The Modern Forum Rules has been updated to include when and where you can use these prefixes. I have also edited a lot of the threads in the Modern Forum to include the appropriate prefixes.
We have relaxed the rules on price discussion outside of the price thread. Please do not start new threads on price discussion. They will be merged with the price discussion thread.
We feel that this rule was inconsistent with the [Budget] tag which requires people to talk about the price of their deck.
Keep in mind that if your deck has ANY price restrictions it's a [Budget] tag not a [Deck] tag.

Established and Proven will be receiving gradual updates over the next couple of weeks. If your favorite deck seems missing and you can't find it, please PM a mod, or refer to our help desk.
We will be open to discussing forum structure during this time. If you have suggestions please PM a mod or suggest in our help desk.

We are preparing for some major forum overhauls this spring.
For now:
Zoo has been brought back to Proven, and Wx Tokens has been updated to include Wx Hatebears since many of the WB decks have a hate component.

Upcomming Events has been renamed Modern Community.
The purpose of the forum is to promote modern. Tournaments, events, playtest groups, blogs, podcasts, and streams.
This is experimental so feel free to comment in my helpdesk if you think it can be improved.

Second Breakfest (eggs) has been added to the proven section with its own sub now. This is part of the many changes that will happen to this sub over a long while.
Ux Tempo has been renamed Uxx Midrange. Tempo decks that are in favor will still be supported, but we needed to move the UW and UWR Midrange strategies out of the control sub.
Please pay attention and make sure you are posting in the correct place for the type of deck you are playing.

Likewise, note that we will be inforcing a new policy on the control sub. You must be referencing a deck that has been putting results out. Talking about a gifts control deck is fine. Talking about Artifact Creature Infect deck (aka, one that is not an established archtype) is not ok.
If you post a random control deck on the sub, your deck will be moved to Deck Creation.
We would like to push the "Modern Community sub" a bit more As such, in the future, any threads pertaining to the player base, favorite cards, meet ups, Modern stories, ect. Will Be put there. Also, feel free to introduce yourself and get to know one another in there.
