Anton De Smet and his classic Jund deck. I don’t think it’s so much that as they don’t want to admit they were wrong to make it Modern legal so quickly.

Red Bull Untapped is an independent tournament series with qualifiers, in both digital and tabletop Magic, each with a $10,000 prize pool. Jund with wrenn and six and ghost quarter/field of ruin? This was the deck that took the trophy at #RedBullUntapped in Brussels.
12/7/2018 If a nontoken creature you control and a creature an opponent controls die at the same time, you choose the order in which Bridge from Below’s triggered abilities resolve. (deck has legs, I believe it is a T2 deck in its rough state now, could push T1.5 with a more streamlined list). I would typically agree with the fact that they wouldn't usually ban immediately, but we saw what happened in Worldwake, and Jace didn't even stand a chance. And the self-designated "expert" players have, at best, conjecture and incomplete data, to support their opinions preloaded with bias. I expect Urza Whir to be the new hot deck, as it had a bad matchup against Hogaak (Ensnaring Bridge does not prevent getting milled out) and was also occasionally hit by graveyard hate when trying to perform the Thopter Sword combo. This is apparently a localized error (although the localities have not been confirmed). Core Set 2020 gets its official release on Friday.
that card is horrendous. That means you can't play Neonate on turn 1 and get the double on this.
I don’t think a hardline and stated goals is actually good, in this specific context. While cases can be made for each, we identified Bridge from Below as the card most likely to cause metagame imbalance again in the future. I expect fair decks like Jund to become more popular, which could be seen in recent tournaments already, but I assume that Urza Whir will be the real gainer here. but i think that they missed big time on banning looting. It gets mentioned a couple times and suddenly if something even goes over that line a little bit people lose their shit because it instantly means Modern is a lawless wasteland violating some holy philosophy. Glad they took Bridge now the bridgeless decks can all be more fair on being mostly agro decks. This type of third party circuit, with a path to the Mythic Championship, was alluded to in the initial Arena announcement.
Even before the ban this is the card the community thought would most likely get the axe. Glogowski made Top 8 with Hogaak but went out in the semifinals. And Bridge has already garnered a lot of ire so it was easy to let it take the fall for now. Im ok with that will still play it ! Decks that will resurface after the Bridge ban: Amulet Titan (Not sure what new cards AT wants). Core Set 2020 is almost out, Bridge From Below bites the dust, and Arena gets an update to the Mastery system. If you think the format isn't varied maybe that's your local metagame or online, because it is quite varied. If they want to prep for it they can. This site works best with JavaScript enabled.

Will E-Tron fall on the back burner? Will Phoenix take over again? If Bridge from Below isn’t still in your graveyard as its first ability resolves, you won’t create a token. At GP Dallas, I played 15 rounds. We should talk about possible gainers from this ban announcement, as the metagame will probably change quite a bit. Search for the perfect addition to your deck.

Sunday’s tournament in Brussels featured five members of the Magic Pro League: Martin Juza, Piotr Glogowski, Marcio Carvalho, Christian Hauck, and Jean Emmanuel Depraz. The winner? They don't want to eliminate graveyard strategies, but they also don't want them to be dominant so they will ban specific pieces of decks and not the core card they all have in common. ChannelFireball Events has released the formats for the fourth quarter’s MagicFest Grand Prix main events. The bridge is suspended 575ft above ground, with a sheer drop into t… The deck is extremely powerful, very versatile and underplayed right now, so I'd suggest people who want to play the deck should get the pieces right now, while they are still kind of cheap. Both events featured Magic Pro League members playing. I don't want to read the tea leaves too much, but this could signal that Looting is safe for the foreseeable future. This also allows for the metagame to shift and auto-correct, which...is what a metagame is.
to tap for Memory Sluice). Life from the Loam decks could emerge in the new meta.
That tournament has a $60,000 prize pool and will also qualify the winner for Mythic Championship VI in Richmond, Virginia. [[Memory Sluice]] is an interesting card but I just goldfished with it and it seems bad. Press J to jump to the feed. If they publicly state their goals in an official capacity, then they are beholden to those statements or they are public liars. By using our Services or clicking I agree, you agree to our use of cookies. The format in both? Also maybe players will play less extreme graveyard hate now and that means decks like Dredge and Living End get a boost. Bridge from Below is very powerful, and since there were good arguments for a number of cards it makes sense that Bridge from Below was banned. My only other big concern for the format that isn't address is neoform combo. We should talk about possible gainers from this ban announcement, as the metagame will probably change quite a bit. See you (along with finalist Luca Simonato) at the #RedBullUntapped finals, onsite in London and worldwide at https://t.co/XwQGaf8qZa, on August 4!
Today’s Banned and Restricted List update took aim at one of the current heavy hitters of Modern: Bridgevine. Many will be open for registration in the next few days, so keep an eye on https://t.co/D73Qv14RIz! Wizards of the Coast announces that Bridge From Below will be banned in Magic: The Gathering's Modern format, just weeks before a Mythic Championship.
The announcement neglected to include one element of the new system: XP rewards. The more diverse the meta, the worse UW becomes. As Arena does not want to incentivize buying Levels, that option will be removed during the end-of-July update. pic.twitter.com/nDMiaPQkp0, — Play-MTG.eu (@Play_MTG_eu) July 7, 2019. Corpse Knight is a 2/2 creature and does not have three toughness. I'd expect dredge and/or thopter sword to do well in the next big event.
I remember when so many people called for Death’s Shadow to be banned. Possible gainers after Bridge from Below ban? Our goal is not to eliminate graveyard strategies from the Modern metagame, but rather to weaken this version of the graveyard combo archetype that has proven too powerful for other decks to reasonably adapt to. I think that's probably fine; if they're going to choose to ban around Faithless Looting (and other enablers like Ancient Stirrings) that's a valid approach. He makes his home in Brooklyn, New York, where he was born and raised. I just wish they would draw the line and publicly state their goals. Core 2020 Limited. Lapsed DCI Rules Advisor - Retired from playing but still hanging around. While we don't intend on setting a precedent for quickly taking B&R action whenever a successful new deck breaks out, in this case, the situation clearly needed to be addressed. They just need to ban Manamorphose and then Phoenix wouldn't be as bad, in my opinion. Congratulations to @JavierDmagic for claiming the trophy and the grand prize of $10,000 in Florence.
For many other Modern players, July 8's announcement could not have arrived soon enough: Bridge from Below is banned in Modern. The deck is extremely powerful, very versatile and underplayed right now, so I'd recommend people who want to play the deck should get the pieces right now, while they are still kind of cheap.Also Hogaak might drop heavily right now, but could actually be very playable in another shell like Dredge or some sort of midrange deck, so keep an eye on him, too. I expect fair decks like Jund to become more popular, which could be seen in recent tournaments already, but … This past weekend saw two Red Bull Untapped qualifiers: one in Florence, Italy and one in Brussels, Belgium. At last weekend’s prerelease events, some copies of Corpse Knight came out of packs printed with three toughness.
