Modern's got a pulse, but it's not racing. Our Final Health Index sits at 64.0, suggesting things are stable, but not necessarily thriving. The format's doing okay.

The Metagame Diversity score is a solid 73.8, backed by an Archetype Distribution score of 95.5. This means there is a wide variety of different decklists being played, and that the format is not particularly top-heavy. On the other hand, Event Growth and Player Growth scores are low (32.9 and 37.0 respectively). Tournament participation is down, for both paper and MTGO events. This could be a concerning trend that requires further investigation. The B&R Health Score is a respectable 80.0.

Looking at the Top 10 Decks, Boros Aggro holds the largest slice of the meta at 14.5%, followed by Death And Taxes at 10%. Then you have Affinity at 6%. The rest of the top decks all hold a small percentage, each falling under 5%. With Aggro decks composing 42.8% of the metagame, and Combo at 34.8%, Modern looks like it's more focused on ending the game rather than long Control games.

Reddit's buzzing about decks leveraging the power of Leyline Binding to answer a wide range of threats, and some have concerns with the recurring power of Grief and Fury in Rakdos Evoke. But our AI analysis states that recent B&R changes haven't happened, and the format seems to be self-correcting through player adaptation. This suggests the format will likely remain diverse and engaging.
