In this last(?) installment of the Overdriven! series, I take the online Modern meta, put on my best “mad doctor” persona, and perform some basic gene splicing before your very eyes. The Strange Island of Doctor Moreau, indeed. Check out the beast that has been quietly devouring your Modern meta from even before Day One.
The Blippy Manifesto
After a recent bout with Anencephlia, I struggle to come to terms with the online meta’s evolution, and offer some thoughts on upcoming GP Detroit. Woo hoo! Motor City Madness!
Blippy ran into my office, and threw a rather thin envelope on my desk before rushing off again. Inside were some scraps of construction paper covered in illegible crayon scrawls and ink blots, a rusty bottlecap, some bits of yarn, and a photo of what appears to be a very mangy dog…
How do I love Modern? Let me count the ways… Scavenging Ooze slithers into the spotlight, as does Jund, and the two together give me heeby GBs. Woo hoo! Modern’s Second birthday is coming up! You know what that means! And, of course, the usual plugs & tidbits.
Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered weak and weary… Over many a forgotten tome of Modern’s lonely lore… There came a rumbling, roughly tumbling… New decks washing upon the Stygian shore… Modern’s second, and some more.
Another Monday, another Overdriven! Ya miss me? Too bad. Here’s some newish decks, a look at the new Q3 online Modern meta, and a brief ramble on the Modern Masters experiment. And, of course, the usual shameless plugs and tidbits.
