Modern's looking pretty solid this week, though there are a few things to keep an eye on. The Final Health Index is sitting at 63.2, indicating a fairly stable format, but there are always nuances to dig into!

The Metagame Diversity score is a respectable 74.5, suggesting a good variety of decks are viable. The Archetype Distribution is even better at 92.2, which says that the balance between aggro, control, and combo is very solid.

The community's buzzing about the strength of Rakdos Evoke and its potential impact on diversity. There's also growing interest in Amulet Titan and Mono-White Hammer Time. Orcish Bowmasters continues to be a hot topic due to its versatility. As for the B&R list, no changes were made, and the AI analysis suggests that this is a good thing.
