The recently concluded Grand Prix Hartford featured the Top 8 decks as to why Modern still has the most diverse metagame of a format. Personally this is my favorite format of Magic: the Gathering, and this time the winning deck is a new brew of Pro Player Matt Nass. He played KCI artifact combo with the Finals matchup against an Amulet Titan Bloom deck. The rest of the Top 8 included Affinity, the usual Burn deck which performed well in this event, Elves, Bogles and the BR Hollow One deck.
