Modern Tiered List Weekly Update for 7/10/17

Another week, another update. Zac here, and I did a slight hiccup on the Tiered List (All Data) tab on last week's update. After 5 hours of trying to figure out what I did, I fixed the issue in about a half hour after that. No big deal. Thanks TappedOut User luke1 for tactfully pointing that out. :)

The Meta at a Glance

As for the new data, I can already hear the sighs and keyboards tapping away seeing Grixis Shadow continuing to climb, but let's pay attention to the rest of the format. Affinity has reached nearly 9% of the metashare. Titanshift finally distanced itself from the rest of Tier Two. UW Control had surged almost 1.5% since last week, which is a great confidence booster to those who had a lack of faith in the state of control decks in Modern. Similarly, Jeskai Control also had a decent week, having a ton of success at the recent opens in the past couple of weeks. Merfolk has finally gotten into the cutoff for Tier Two. We also have Bant Eldrazi finding its way back there as well, bringing back the good old days, racking up a lot of success online in the Magic Online Championship Series. As for the declines, Dredge continues to fall, as well as GBx based Death’s shadow lists. Graveyard hate is at an all time high, and it’s finally catching up to these decks. As usual, Living End is collateral.

Here’s the data for this week. If you’re interested in looking more into any of the decks on the spreadsheet, check them out on MTGGoldfish.

Feature of the Week

Before I close out, I wanted to feature a Jeskai Saheeli list that placed 25th at the Roanoke Modern Open. Oren Lagziel has been having much success with Saheeli, both online and in paper, and even a few pros are starting to talk about the deck as well.

Be sure to also check out Oren's Youtube Channel as he goes more in depth with his experience playing the deck at the open, as well as much more magic content on his youtube channel.

Conclusion

That's all I have for you this week. Thank you for reading this far. Please be sure to drop a comment here or on Reddit. 'Til next Monday, may your opening hands be keepable 7s, and your top decks are straight gas.
