Small Sample Analysis of Online Top Modern Decks

These 71 decks have 4,949 analyzable cards at a total cost of $53,917.88 using the median value from deckbox.org. The average deck cost is $759.41. Here is the average expanded to the major types of decks present in this small sample. These online tournaments are from the last week of June 2013. Anything with Goyf is 'money' even after Modern Masters. Actually, because Modern has regained some popularity, as predicted by yours truly, with increased demand and small additional supply prices actually increase a little. What is refreshing about the format is the variety of decks (look at decks with Melira, and decks with Kiki-Jiki), and the low cost of some of them. The latter is very encouraging for the format. Goblins may become my new best friends.




Here is each card from the perspective of cost. The top five fetchlands account for 26 percent of the money pool. That is not surprising, yet remarkable..... I hope these get reprinted soon!!!








The unit price of the top cards (those costing over $10) is eye-popping for the top cards.....ouch.
