Magic Musings on Modern
The pre-Tour metagame is not healthy. Only three decks exist: Wild Nacatl, Rite of Flame and Cloudpost. There are variations - fast or semi-fast Nacatl, Splinter Twin or Pyromancer Ascension or Pyromancer's Swath or Hive Mind in Rite of Flame decks - but in general there is no satisfactory answer to the fast, resilient questions these decks are asking. More worryingly, while Cloudpost's ban would make the deck vulnerable and Misstep or Bitterblossom's unban would make Zoo vulnerable, there are any number of replacement Red/Blue combo pieces those decks could switch to. Short of banning Preordain and Ponder, which they won't do... Hopefully everyone will settle down and figure out some way out of this mess.
