This is an awful catagorizarion of these decks... in no world is twin tier 2 and tron is tier 1 over it. Or jund.... that's even more absurd

He is a little bias. Look as he had to post a link to his version.

He's a busy guy. Had to keep up with the random posting to keep his average posts per day. 😜😜😜 Hard being a spam bot.

I agree. Twin is freaking everywhere, it's annoying how common it is.

Any tournament anywhere you go to the competition is going to be 55% twin and 45% everything else. The deck wins, and is awesome. Tier 1 no doubt.

I'd say 55% grixis control// any twin varient is how most tourneys day 2s have looked

This is true, although most of the Grixis decks are evil twin decks lol

Every event will be different just like the world championship where 4 living end and 4 boggles list showed up unexpectedly when no one really even uses those lists super competitively anymore. Every event is different but look at MTG top 8 the grixis control is 5% of the meta, twin is 13%(the highest percentage amongst every deck) and among twin there is 1/3- 1/2 Evil Twin.

Thats not how we agreed this would be run. This is done only by percent of the Mets.  Trying to do it any other way leaves room for debate and someone's always mad that a deck is categorized incorrectly.

True, I also feel as though a great number of the decks and the list are just a tad outdated. Jund runs bobs and hunt masters, wilted abzan hasn't seen play in months, grixis control isn't on here at all etc.

I  am novice modern player at best.  I have been playing infect and zoo since the start of 2015 because they are cheap decks (under $400)to get into. Especially before mm2015 was released.  I have had the opportunity to travel around to a dozen different stores due to work travel in different states.  My 2 cents is that the meta varies greatly by stores even in the same geographic area. At major events the pros are gauging what the meta will be and they pick a deck that will get them into the late rounds and have a side board to help against the bad match ups.  For the rest of us we usually stick with one deck and should probably alter our sideboard for the meta at our local store. Also the more experienced player will beat you with an inferior deck because he knows your deck better than you do.

Hey Taysby how about we get Shawn McClarens Worlds Jund winning list up here as a T1 list

Kaalia with haste

I believe Shaun played UR pyromancer jank.dec at worlds. He played jund for modern super league, I think that's probably a fine place to pull decks from the only really weird one was LSVs jeskai ascendancy griselbrand thing.

May want to edit this with the current bans.

Also update a few of the decks to the current deck lists.  {Siege Rhino} seems to be missing.

It would be nice to have tournament level deck lists that I could load into my app to use to play test.  Maybe top 8 decks from major events
