The Post-GP Prague Metagame Breakdown
Event CoverageBy HansD (2018-09-05)
Although the European Modern scene leans toward control more than its American counterpart, the numbers that W/U Control put up at GP Prague came as an eye-opener for someone like me who expected things to be a lot more linear. Regardless, I want to take a look at the archetype's performance, examine an up-and-comer from the tournament, and wrap things up with a look towards the future. Without further ado, let's jump right into the deck of the hour, W/U Control.
The "one mana planeswalker" is one of my favourite long-term specs. If it stays banned in modern, it will follow a climb, similar to stoneforge mystic, but slower, maybe hiting 10€ in 2 years time. If it ever gets unbanned, my god... expect it to hit 40€ in one night. Also, beinh hybrid mana and banned, is not likely it will get reprinted. It's a hit or hit; safe long term spec.
Indeed one of the most useful creatures ever printed. It does many things but can also win games by itself or at least keep you alive until you can turn the tide.
This guy does so much work. Doesn't matter when you draw it, just a overall potent card.
