Pro Tour Modern Horizons 3 was the final Pro Tour of the 2023–24 season. It took place on June 28-30, 2023 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It followed the release of the straight-to-Modern set Modern Horizons 3 and was the last chance to acquire invitations for the 2024 World Championship.
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.
Day One
Featured drafters: Yoshihiko Ikawa
Ikawa was the focus of the first draft, putting together a very low-curve three-color Energy deck headlined by two Dreamtide Whale that would go 2-1. Thomas White, regular Magic Online Premier Play Program finalist, would top the pod with a classic Blue-Black control deck, having defeated Ikawa in Round 2. At the end of Round 8, Jacob Nagro would be the last one standing with the leading contender Nadu Combo, leading an murderers' row of 7-1 players including two World Champions and a finalist. While half of them would use Nadu, Jeskai Control, Mono-Black and Prowess would make the other half. In the Player of the Year race, all of the Top 10 would make Day 2 except Ikawa.
