Wrap-Up Record-wise, we finished 4-2 in our video matches but lost another match to UW Control (every time I play a budget tribal deck in Modern against a control deck, I die a little inside because Cavern of Souls would go a long way toward beating counterspell-heavy decks, but now that it's usually reprinted at mythic, it's unlikely ever to be anywhere near cheap enough to show up on Budget Magic), giving us a solid 4-3 matchup overall
