First we made 966 players fight it out to see who could make Day 2 and 285 players managed that. But then we made those 285 keep going, and after 15 long, brutal rounds of Modern combat, we were down to just 8 players. Between those 8 were 7 different deck archetypes, which you'd think would cover the breadth of the Modern Metagame, but it's really only brushing the surface. Apparently you can play almost anything you like in this format, as long as what you're doing is powerful, difficult to interact with, and fast enough to keep up with everyone else.
