With both the Modern format Pro Tour and Modern format SCG Regionals (at Play or Draw!) being shaken up by the Twin bannings, you may also be shaken up – the format will probably look completely different since Twin was such a vital part of the format. Well, take some time to read some Modern articles from around the web to prep!

The Diary of a Pro Player: Modern, Post-Bans, By Pascal Maynard
Like probably many of you Twin players, Pascal Maynard has to do some soul-searching after the bans were announced, and whether or not they are of the lingering kind remains to be seen. He examines some of the cards from Oath of the Gatewatch and also analyzes the different “levels” that players will be on for the PT. How do you think they will relate to SCG Regionals next week at Play or Draw?
Happy weekend and happy reading!
