Modern Becomes a Sanctionable FNM Format in January
The title says it all.
WotC announced that Modern will become legal for sanctioning as a format for FNM starting in January 2013. The information came through on their WPN newsletter for this week. I'll get a screenshot of the message in momentarily, as it is not quite yet up on their website for some reason.

Woot. This is awesome.
Can all the people who said this wouldn't happen because "Wizards only supports their limited/standard cash cows" come and explain?

This is so sexy!!!!!!!!!! (repeat exclamation points!!)
I was just at GP Navy Pier and brought the wrong deck, against my instincts. I looked and saw that there are no real Modern tournaments in Illinois for-freaking-ever. FNM is going to be hott sexy times now.

I liked the news before I read this and remembered the modern set. Almost made me dream of Legacy FNM. |

Glad I already bought most of the ones I wanted :P On a somewhat related note, does anyone know why Jace, the Mind Sculptor has gone from $60 to $100 in the past year or so? He's banned in practically everything, and I don't get it.

Thinking about it, I think the odds are fairly high that the first FNM with Modern will have a promo for all participants, just to get more people playing it. A nice uncommon or common or something...
Or if they haven't planned that, they really should (hint for the MTG brand team. You're welcome)

Having just broken into Modern, I must say this is nice to see. Sure it's no Legacy (Yes I understand this comment will get me some crap), but if a store or 2 around me has regular Modern FNMs I'll be happy.
Plus making rogue decks in Modern is probably the most fun in my opinion, so this will have me buying more into it... (More fun as in, bigger card pool than standard, won't get stomped as bad as legacy)

While I'll ultimately be glad they did this, the short-term implications are irritating.
I really had much better uses for my money in the upcoming month. EDH was already costing a boatload... now I have to buy three more Vendilion Clique, Mutavault, and Thoughtseize before they jump again?! FNM... more like FML!!!
