Considering it's Reid Duke, he probably has a reason to do this!
Yep, the things that he does with that deck are amazing. I know a local Jund player that does pretty well with Jund (even if most Jund players I know have moved on or quit Magic), but it doesn't even come close to Reid. He just is a supernatural person that really puts in the work.
Thanks for checking it out. Not seeing any negative feedback so I'll go live with this tomorrow. Looking ahead to other topics for MTG ModernMetrics, what are people interested in? Here are some ideas I've had or heard, as well as projects I have in various states of completeness:
1. SCG Modern and Legacy Open comparison: top player MWP ceilings/floors
2. Relative performance/success of top pro players in Modern and Standard
3. Calculating matchup percentages from VODs/tournament coverage/observed games
4. Metagame breakdowns
5. Diversity comparisons in different periods of Modern history
6. Data-driven ban/unban analysis
7. Probability of certain decks accomplishing certain things within a set timeframe (e.g. T3 Karn)
Lots of ideas, lots of data to pick through. What are people interested in?
I'm a huge fan of 6 and 7, myself! Seems like all of these topics interest someone on these Forums, though, haha.
@KTK, you should consider enabling the comments in your blog. I don't know if you want to, but it should be a consideration at least.
I would want to leave a comment with positive feedback for example. Or ask a question or two if I could.
Huh, I thought they were enabled. I at least see the "Leave a comment" option on mobile. Does it not appear on desktop browser?
Thanks. This explains a lot. I was wondering why a player I know that plays Jeskai all the time moved to UW. I was wondering why I played the same guy on Pyro Prison Mono Red on Friday and today at an Invitational Qualifier. Then I wondered why my opponent in Round 1 today was on UW Spirits. It didn't really make much sense to me, but then Modern doesn't make much sense to me.
I've come to a revelation, lol. (UW doing well, UW Spirits in the top 8, and Mono Red Prison in the top 32 of a large tournament)
Paper is sometimes slower to evolve, but yeah the spirits seem legit, and that miracle UW is very popular.
Edit: And I have to say, how awesome is Modern. That MTGO event had living end, jund, burn, UW in 2 flavours GDS, Affinity, and E Tron.
Re: MTGO Challenge
That's a really great metagame. I'm definitely interested in seeing how the MTGO PTQ/MOCS/Challenge events aggregate relative to other metagame standings. It's also interesting to see UW Control take the lead over Jeskai Control in some recent events, or at least have comparable success. I do admit that this undermines the arguments in favor of an SFM and Preordain unbanning, although it's way too early in the year to make definitive conclusions for 2018's first B&R update.
I make no claims on knowing the UW decks well enough to say if forcing in SFM would matter, Preordain I assume would get slotted in, but Serum always sets up (if you like) 2 draws, Preordain can only set up 1 Miracle at most. Is that important? I dont know, but its an edge case.
1. I fully admit that this is a one-of and not indicative of anything for the entire format. That being said...
2. I played in a thirty-five man modern tournament with top eight cut Saturday that was won by a UW control deck running Approach of the Second Sun. Yup. In fact the entire top 8 went down like so:

So yeah, when I talk about playing in a weirdly fair meta and don't understand the complaints, this is why.
I played in a 48 person Store Invitational Qualifier this Sunday. This was our top 16.

3rd - Mono Green Tron
4th - Mono Green Tron
5th - Bant Spirits
6th - Living End
7th - BW Eldrazi Taxes
8th - UR Breach (my first loss of the day)
Like Gkourou said, anything can happen in Modern. Looking at online results, you would expect at least 1 Hollow One, 1 KCI, and 1 Affinity. The tournament the day before that I played in had 6 Affinity decks in 32 players. I think 1 or 2 made the top 8. I faced 2 the first 2 rounds that day.

Yep, it was the homie too! I was really happy for him and blasted his FB post with tons of :hearts:
I used to be a Cruel Ultimatum player myself, but waaaay waaaay back in Standard. My best memory was keeping a hand with 2 Cruel Ultimatum against Jund in Round 5 at 4-0, then casting all 4 of them (I played 4 instead of the accepted 3) for 20 points of damage to my opponent. He was pretty on tilt after that one during the next 2 games, of which he won 1 and lost the final one. Although I didn't mean any harm by it, I think I admitted that I kept on 2 Cruel Ultimatum after he mentioned that "it was lucky for you to draw so many."
The metagame breakdown is above. Looks like 5 Tron and 5 Jeskai and then a BUNCH of other stuff. Super diverse, may I say too diverse? Here's the Twitchtv channel if you want to watch - it's kingslayergames the Modern July 15, 2018 tournament. It says "Grixis Control," but I know the guy. Super chill dude.

Possibly. He only plays that one deck from what I've seen (I only see him at Comp REL events since we are 80 mi. away) and he's willing to try anything new if it works! But then, it would take the place of the Cruel Ultimatum? He would have to change the name, lol.

I see now that an interesting piece of info hasn't been posted here: 1325 decks from 129 events since the release of Dominaria (28/04/2018).
It is interesting that despite this is a very complete overview, I think the metagame already changed. For instance I have my doubts about Humans being played so much right now. In exchange I think currently UW Control sees more play than in the stats.
My data supports this. In June I saw Humans 19 times or 8.15% of the time out of 233 matches, and in July I've seen it just 6 times or 3.77% with 159 matches played so far. UW in June was 7 matches and 3%, in July it's been 9 matches already or 5.66%.
Lots of ideas, lots of data to pick through. What are people interested in?
I've seen it mentioned several times on social media that modern is too fast to care about card advantage and card quality is more important. So that's why more fair decks are playing faithless looting (Mardu and now GDS), being down a card doesn't matter as much if it gets you closer to your more impactful cards.
Is there a way to quantify that? What's the actual average kill turn in modern? How many cards does the loser end up with when the game is over?
I feel like Faithless Looting does actually give occasional "card advantage," and I use the term loosely because I realize that draw 2, discard 3 is actual card advantage, by discarding useless stuff vs. some decks. It rewards the player's knowledge of the matchup and what cards are necessary, not to mention discarding Lingering Souls or another Faithless Looting. Discarding cards that are not useful in the current matchup makes Faithless Looting very good.
Faithless Looting also helps smoothe your mana.
EDIT> I watched Reid Duke play the Modern Challenge Online (thanks ktkenshinx). In the Top 4, wasn't there a possible line of Fulminator Mage destroying Reid Duke's only Swamp, an Overgrown Tomb? Then the 2 Street Wraith would not have been unblockable, so Maelstrom Pulse was NOT actually the only out. He would have had to identify it early on and I'm not sure he still would be able to make up for the strong board that the opponent had, but he didn't look to it. Obviously it's easier to see while watching. I never would have seen that if playing.

I've actually seen people port Second Sun control to modern successfully. It's the best alt win con printed in ages because it requires literally nothing on the board to work. That has been the problem traditionally with alt win cons such as the bfz enchantment and revel in riches.

When I played at GP Toronto, my main event didn't work out as well as I had hoped, but including the main event and side events I went 21-4 playing Death's Shadow Jund (FYI this event was before the unbanning of BBE and Jace)
I decided to take a the best note of Mardu Pyromancer's Success and put two copies of Faithless Looting in my maindeck. Not only was it a Delirium enabler, it allowed me to find potential turn 3 kills faster and more effectively than any other card in the format. When considering the mirror match, it also outperformed binging multiple land drops in favour of removal spells and threats.
Since the unbanning I actually don't think Modern has changed much, way more pet decks, but there is still the cream of the crop trying to efficiently beat you down, but I would love statistics to see if my viewpoint is correct or not!
Thanks for the analysis. This is really interesting. I was looking over the Bogles matchups thinking yep, yep, yep, then I got to Humans at 32% win percentage and thought Whaaaat? Infect, Jeskai, and UW Control seem off too. There's literally no way that Bogles wins 47% of the matches vs. Infect or ONLY 46% vs. Jeskai and 40% vs. UW Control (albeit tougher than Jeskai).
Counters Company at 71% vs. Counters Coco is sad too. It's literally one of the top reasons I run Titanshift and what I fear the most when running Counters Coco. But I guess I could be dead wrong and an amazing Titanshift player, but terrible Counters Company player.
Most of it looks spot on and I do believe that this is VERY valuable data. I will look more into it later. Thanks again!

Jeskai vs Tron = 72%
Jeskai vs Mardu Pyro = 74 %
Now, @KTK, this is the second time those kind of data agree with my view on this matchup. The first time you told me that it's not just that I drew conclusions from one source. Could I have an answer here?
Although (1 of) those look right to me, I would take the data with a grain of salt. Did you see what I listed above? There's no way that Jeskai beats Bogles 54% of the time. It's probably the matchup that they want to see least.
Also you may say that Humans can beat Bogles 68% of the time because Meddling Mage naming "Daybreak Coronet" is game and Reflector Mage can bounce the super quick clock that is Kor Spiritdancer, but it's more complicated than that. I've beaten Humans now 3 times, twice at 2-1 and once at 2-0. I feel like their hands were really strong for the matchup. The only thing that could have gone better for them is when their Thalia, Guardian of Thraben on the play landed, then I don't draw a 2nd land ever. Unfortunately that win-con didn't work out for them, except 1 game.
Most of the matchup analysis's seem correct, but some are dead wrong. Sorry.
*P.S. - If someone doesn't feel that way about Jeskai vs. Tron, I don't know what to tell you. Go to a small tournament where everyone (competent players please) is on Tron and win 1st place with Jeskai. I mean, no one here will believe you. Perhaps stream it with an overhead camera? Mulligans do happen.

2. I played in a thirty-five man modern tournament with top eight cut Saturday that was won by a UW control deck running Approach of the Second Sun. Yup. In fact the entire top 8 went down like so:
