Modern Event Deck: Speculation and what not

Spoiled:

Alright
So we know its B/W tokens that they are including in this set.

Now the deck will cost $75 MSRP and will probably be sold at more, depending on its contents.

{Elspeth, Knight-Errant} makes another appearance, most likely same art as MMs

{Hero of Bladehold} also has been mentioned as making an appearance.

{intangible virtue} also makes an appearance

This is indicating a token heavy deck.

It comes with "5 double sided tokens"

So we assume elspeth and hero are for soldier tokens.

The other tokens? The box picture stated black disruption.

Strong rumor: Possible bitter blossom? Unbanned recently, cheap token generator, high in value, so a reprint would help balance it's price.


My speculation: Wurmcoil engine!

He's seen in modern, token maker, a decent price also, very flexible for a b/w token deck and the tokens for it are very b/w characteristics


Keep in mind if the MSRP if $75, it wont just have elspeth in it.


Perhaps the b/w fetch land? I feel the deck will have more than MSRP value in order to create demand. Perhaps a few key cards seen in many modern decks will be here, possible one ofs, allowing players chances at being able to finish their current decks with a purchase of an event deck or two.

Monoblack can pretty much be bought for around $80 with the BoG event deck now out.

With that bein said, I do think this deck will hold up in a basic modern event, prolly won't win a GP with it out of the box, but possibly with modifications it could.


So we have until late April to find out everything before we are spoiled.

Is b/w tokens competitive in modern ?

Is b/w tokens competitive in modern ?

Not really, but they couldn't give us a really competitive deck without either making the cards crash or making the decks cost hundreds of dollars.

[Phoenix X30]

Probably  {Path to Exile} too. It's been in a duel deck before I believe and I dont think another printing will hurt its price. It's worth £3 forever

I believe they will try to make an event deck that can win a few hands, but rarely could win a tournament

I'm doing just fine with Esper Tokens! Today I beat Tempo Twin just straight UR and I beat Kikki Pod both with Esper Tokens.

Why Esper?

{Polymorph}!! Protect it/do it when they can't counter it be patient it's worth it and you can (if you're lucky get a T4 {Emrakul the Aeons Torne} I know what you're thinking pretty glassy but ok cool I still can win by out racing people with {Intangible Virtue} and {Honor of the Pure} I just swarm the field with tokens and it makes it very difficult to deal with!!

Trust me it's good just hasn't been tested lol
