There's 118 this weekend because its the release weekend of a set and the Super Bowl.
Or it could be that people are sick of playing versus 40 Stonforge mystic decks.
My point is that Legacy is slowing down and really doesn't show signs of growth. Modern does need some reprints, but it has so much room to grow. For the cost of 1 Underground Sea people could build entire Modern decks. It is also very hard to acquire Duals while Shocklands are rather abundant. Will AVR have shocks? Goyf? Dark Confidant? Honestly I find it suspicious that AVR is a 249 card set. To me it seems like they may be trying to jam some reprints into the next set. I may be wrong but that would be just what the format needs.

In case I didn't tell you, I don't care about your opinion I just want your facts. And not the facts that make you seem smart. I want the ones that are actual facts.
Well the two guys who are commentators on the SCG's today said they both dont like Modern. Jacob says with all the bannings it has put him off it. And gerard says he just dont like it over exteneded + loads of people he talks to dont also dont like it.
Yeah I think the format is going the same way as Extended. Sadly the bannings are what most people are fingering as the culprit.
I really think the loss of Diving Top stopped the Counterbalance deck that would have stopped most of the early combo decks from being what they were. I also think banning Dredge and Fae pieces turned lots of people off to the format.

And today we have one of the smallest Legacy opens in years. I heard all the excuses, sorry but numbers are numbers.

^I agree about SCG trying to hold onto the brand. I just think they might benefit from diversifying their interests.

Is it just me or does it seem like the major thing holding back Modern is the lack of endorsement from SCG. Maybe sub it in for one of the legacy events? The attendance has been dropping for the legacy opens for the last 3 months so why not give Modern a shot? I know the exposure from the opens is what made legacy into what it is today.
