Wizards of the Coast Announces New ‘Modern Event Deck’

Wednesday, January 15th, 2014

Wizards of the Coast announced last week, a brand new Event Deck product. This time, the new product will feature the Modern format. Here is the press release, quoted in it’s entirety:

 

Modern Event Deck

“Your power is here. Your time is now.”

“Get started with the deep-strategy Modern format in style! Draw on rare, high-powered Magic cards from past sets with this tightly constructed 60-card deck. Also includes a 15-card sideboard, strategy guide, Spindown life counter, 80 exclusive card sleeves, 5 double-sided tokens, and a deck box.

We are excited to introduce a new deck product to support the Modern format. This is meant to be in-line with the Event Decks we have released for specific sets except this is not set-specific and is for Modern rather than for Standard.”
