![]() ![]() That said, a few cards are emerging as Modern-playable frontrunners, and they deserve special recognition here. Looking at the SCG Chicago Top 32, only 19% of the Top 32 decks actually played Origins cards, with zero copies of any in the Top 8. ![]() So far, Origins is not living up to that lofty precedent, even though the set has a few cards which are well-positioned to make some Modern impact. Add to that cards like Kolaghan's Command, Collected Company, Monastery Swiftspear, Become Immense, allied fetchlands, and a host of other cards, and Magic Origins has a high bar to reach. Tasigur, the Golden Fang alone fundamentally changed the Modern balance. With so many playables (some that were too playable.), the block will go down in history as one of Modern's most formative additions. These datapoints may be limited in scope, but they provide a great starting point to see how Modern players are using their new tools. The big datapoints in this article will be the Top 32 of the SCG Chicago Modern event, along with some smaller PPTQs in Italy and the Netherlands. I already gave some early impressions of Magic Origins after the full set was spoiled, and it's important to check back in on those cards and see how they are doing in the format. We'll need more time to see how Origins performs in our format (it's not even MTGO-legal yet), but this article identifies some of the early frontrunners and stragglers in Modern's newest set. Although cards like Hangarback Walker, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy, and Thopter Spy Network made a big impression in Standard events like SCG's Premier Qualifier in Chicago, Origins' Modern impact was much more modest. Magic Origins hit tournament floors this past weekend with mixed results across multiple formats. ![]()
