However, that being said the Modern Event Deck was sadly a failure, which has given Wizards of the Coast cause to believe that perhaps the product itself just isn’t popular, perhaps it had the wrong price point, or perhaps it just needed to be released at a different period of the year maybe around a Modern Pro Tour? WB tokens is a midrange/aggro swarm deck capable of its full power and with the since unbanning of Bitterblossom has the potential to quickly put a good amount of evasive threats quickly while playing a host of removal spells and hand disruption to really keep your opponents off-kilter while your life total is bolstered by an often existant soul sisters package which keeps you afloat and makes spells such as Spectral Procession and Lingering Souls just that much more powerful. However, the deck we got I don’t think we really expected at all, a deck out of the ballpark somewhat and while powerful in its own right, not a deck many consider to be a powerhouse threat in Modern, that as we know, was WB tokens. Any of these decks I think would have been a great starting point, with the possible exception of Jund for reasons we will get to soon. Or maybe they would have gone for a more specific and newer deck like UR Delver or Birthing Pod. Between these times many players, myself included were frantically speculating on what popular deck archetype Wizards of the Coast would give us, would they be giving us an enfranchised deck like Jund, Affinity or perhaps simply Burn. The first and only Modern Event Deck was called March of the Multitudes and was announced in January of 2014 and was released a few short months later on the 30 th of May. So, when thinking about the Modern Event deck, we need to remember what the solitary result from the experiment was. So for my debut to this experiment, I want to look at the Modern Event Deck its shortcomings, its breakthroughs and how, I think, this product could have actually been a mainstay in the Magic the Gathering product line. This is an article idea I’ve been muddling over for a while, I want to take a look at existing Magic products, create new ideas with Magic products or even resurrect an older design. I think this is a brilliant idea, and as a Modern lover, this is exactly the kind of product I would love to see. Today’s article has been brought to us from the mind of Lily Robinson.
