Updated.

Gruul Zoo added.

Mono U Tron added.

Anguished Unmaking added.

Dreadbore added.

Tidied up.

"Anguished Unmaking added": It has a random bullet point unlike the rest of the removal. Is that on purpose?

What about the deck "Creatures Toolbox"? It's right now at 6% of the format on MTGtop8. I couldn't find it anywhere on this page.

Yeah MTGTop8 is overestimating because it's put it under a really weird and vague category but Abzan CoCo should CERTAINLY be on the list. Thanks!

What about Lantern Control? It's a pretty big deck.

Dredge is also getting bigger.

We are working on adding fan favorites to the list. Dredge lantern and Mardu and more to come.

Working on thopter combo as well.

How about Jeskai Nahiri?

EDIT: Realized you had it under Jeskai Control with an addition under it. Sorry!

Yeah, I updated the Jeskai control section to add nahiri haha.

I think it's worth mentioning another couple key cards in your 8Rack section. Raven's Crime is essential. While it is in the graveyard, it mitigates dead land draws later on, as they are effectively turned into Liliana of the Veil's +1 for . Also, a lot of 8Rack decks run 1-2 copies of Dakmor Salvage, to repeatedly enable Raven's Crime by use of Dredge. This enacts a soft-lock when both decks are reduced to topdeck mode, as the opponent is forced to either play the card they draw on their turn, or discard it to Raven's Crime. Finally, Ensnaring Bridge is the deck's "finisher." The player will play their hand out to shred his or her opponent's, then drop the Bridge and begin the soft-lock. Since all players' hands are inevitably empty, any creatures the opponent manages to play are either reduced to defenders, or eliminated by Liliana's -2.

Noted. More will be added.

It is worth noting that Bribery became a hot one-of tech-in against Jeskai Control in a major event. I remember from some article (SCG, I think) that it began the day selling for 25$, and by the end of it, sellers were all out of the card, the last sale being 40$.

Concerning the section about Protection: You should probably add that the damage prevention granted by protection can be switched off by something like Skullcrack. For example, if a Kor Firewalker blocks a Goblin Guide, the attacker can cast Skullcrack and the firewalker will take damage.

Kiki Chord is growing in the meta. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Restoration Angel and such. Maybe add that?

Thanks for the list! Sums it up nicely.

Good job on this! this is extremely useful and brings great advice/knowledge to newer players. Keep up the great work!

I really appreciate this. I refer all of my friends to this list when they ask for my advice for constructing a modern deck. It has great tips and information to keep in mind.

The collage at the top is a great addition.

Would it be acceptable if I start working on a section for Emeria / Titan Control? Probably just and .

Seriously, nice job. I refer everyone I know to this as well.

That's fine. Someone should pm you with the doc link so u can add

Emeria Control and, Eldrazi and Taxes added.

Having almost 30 decks listed as "top" decks doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Some of those are very fringe archetypes, i think focusing on the 10-15 most important ones would be better. That would make it more clear which ones you actually need to respect and build your sideboard against, like Affinity or Infect. Also, Abzan Melira Company and Elves are notably missing, both have had way more tournament success than Soul Sisters or 8-Rack.

I think listing the relative tier of each deck already allows players to have some idea of what to sideboard against. I do agree that Abzan Company and Elves should probably be added though.

I don't like confronting someone new to the format with such a long list of decks, some of which are barely relevant. To me that just seems confusing. It would serve a better purpose to split the list up to make clear which ones are the decks that make up significant parts of the metagame at tournaments (Affinity, Infect, Company, Snapcaster+Bolt decks, Jund/Abzan, Burn/Zoo), which ones are niche decks that ebb and flow with the shifts of the metagame (Tron, Elves, Living End, Bogles, Storm/Ad Nauseam, Blue Moon) and which ones are really fringe decks (8-Rack, Soul Sisters). Also, while decks like Ad Nauseam and UR Storm (or Hatebears and Eldrazi&Taxes, or Tron variants) are technically different decks, playing and sideboarding against them is often very similar, so the overview could be improved by lumping them together as one archetype (like you did for BGx midrange).
