Modern

While the gap between the previous Modern Pro Tour was not as far as the one before, the metagame once again took a reshaping, given the much higher power level of Modern Horizons 3 in comparison to The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth: whereas power players in the latter slotted into various existing decks, the ones the new set formed new or reinvigorated old archetypes around them. Storm combo returned to the top tables with Ruby Medallion and Ral, Monsoon Mage, eschewing Blue entirely, with the second-most piloted deck at 9.5%. Nadu, Winged Wisdom's ostensible card tax turns into a combo kill when combined with free targeting effects such as Shuko and Outrider En-Kor, posting a combined 26% of the field, with 5% splashing black. Eldrazi Tron, a Chalice of the Void deck that had fallen when such measures failed, gained another two-mana land in Ugin's Labyrinth alongside a myriad of new options, returned as a 5.8% deck. Various forms of Energy decks in Red and White made up nearly 25% of the field as well but splintered more than that of the Nadu decks; Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury is a regular presence of those decks as well.
