Whenever a new archetype or combo piece appears in Modern, it can cause older magic cards to spike in price. This card reached a height of $140 per copy before a recent reprint demolished its price. Kozmo Dark Destroyer is a staple for the Kozmo deck. This card has seldom cost less than $100 per copy despite multiple reprints. Tarmogoyf is a Modern Staple for Jund/Abzan decks (To be fair, this card also sees play in Legacy and Vintage). Similarly Ygo has expensive staples each format, the difference being that Yugioh’s ban list combined with its amazing power creep causes the price of each staple to eventually drop once they’re no longer relevant to the format. Most of cards needed to build each archetype are very expensive. Similar results can be seen with the Kozmo deck that OTKs by using Kozmo Dark Destroyer to destroy itself to allow for extra attacks by floating into smaller Kozmo monsters. Mermail decks for example have an easy OTK combo by combining Neptabyss, the Atlantean Prince with Instant Fusion. In Yugioh, the game has recently gotten so fast that certain decks win on their first turn going second. That being said certain decks like Goryo’s Vengeance, Storm or Infect can still win on the 2nd or 3rd turn of the game, just not very often. As long as no deck can achieve a consistent kill before turn 4 its deemed safe for Modern. Modern is a format where kills by the 4th turn of the game are not only allowed, but seen as fair. The Top 4 Reasons Why MTG Modern is Yugioh Anyway, let’s get this travesty that I’m using to justify selling cards I worked very hard to get. Using this logic I’m going to try to justify selling out of Modern (since I did the same with Yugioh). I hope my hastily prepared evidence is enough to make you consider my argument. As the regrettably click-bait name implies, yes I am effectively quitting Modern and yes after many years of following the format over YouTube, Twitch and at regional events I’m 100% certain that the Modern Format is synonymous to the game of Yugioh.
