Modern Tier List
The Gathering’s Modern tier list is data-driven that looks at the past Three weeks’ worth of MTG event results, top finishes, and overall entries to determine which Modern decks are currently the most popular and likely to be seen at any given event. There is a small amount of player input in regards to arrangement, but these lists are primarily reflective and backward looking.
They could be considered a power ranking, a popularity contest, or anything similar, but are not adjusted to provide advice. If you would like a tier list that provides play advice for decks as they’re poised in the coming week or weeks, check out IslandGoSAMe’s tier lists
