Why this deck wins
It’s a control deck that doesn’t let you play. Isochron Scepter with Orim’s Chant or Silence under it stops the opponent from casting spells on their turn, every turn. Teferi, Time Raveler forces them to play everything at sorcery speed, and a loose Orim’s Chant or Silence still shuts down their key turn when the Scepter doesn’t show up.
The other half is Narset, Parter of Veils plus Day’s Undoing: everyone shuffles their hand and graveyard away and draws seven, but with Narset out the opponent draws only one. You get seven cards, they get one. Solitude, Wrath of the Skies and Supreme Verdict handle whatever slips through.
Kaheera, the Orphanguard is the sideboard companion: the only creature in the deck is Solitude, an Elemental, so it meets the condition for free.
The Top 8
| Place | Player | Deck |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Kaya Gregg | Azorius Control |
| 2nd | Will Shayne | Mono-Green Broodscale |
| 3rd | Jesse Speers | Mono-Green Broodscale |
| 4th | Max Dore | Mono-Red Storm |
| 5th | Edgar Magalhaes | Jeskai Blink |
| 6th | Johan DeNora | Boros Energy |
| 7th | Ryan Primdahl | Mono-Green Broodscale |
| 8th | Cristopher Currie | Izzet Affinity |
Three Mono-Green Broodscale decks in the Top 8: it’s the deck Pete Ingram won the Baltimore Regional Championship with three weeks earlier, and it’s still the one to beat in Modern.
What it means for your table
It’s Modern, so none of this rotates. If your group plays Modern, get ready for a control deck that stops you from playing on your own turn: artifact removal such as Boseiju, Who Endures and threats you don’t have to cast, like creature lands, are your way out.
When you sit down to play, MagicNexus has a worldwide ranking per format: log your Modern games and compete with your group in cups and leagues.
The next Pro Tour is at MagicCon Atlanta, 13-15 November 2026.
