All players with 21 points made Day 2, meaning 85 players would return to battle for a shot at the Top 8 of the Modern Open at #SCGPHILLY. Izzet Phoenix continues to soar above the rest of the field, taking more than 20 percent of the Day-2 metagame share with 19 players sleeving up the Guilds of Ravnica mythic rare. The other main Faithless+Looting deck, Dredge, followed next with nine pilots, highlighting the power of the one-man cantrip.
Humans clocks in as the third-most played deck with eight players, closely followed by Mono-Green Tron at six, and Azorius Control, Grixis Death’s Shadow, and Burn at four copies each. Amulet Titan, Affinity, and Golgari Midrange had three players each, and the two undefeated players on Day 1 came from this group as Matthew Dilks played Amulet Titan while Jonathan Orr played Golgari Midrange.
Standout rogue decks in the field include one-ofs like Sultai Reclamation, Four-Color Vannifar, Faeries, and Selesnya Taxes.
