9/14/14 Modern matchups primer

 More common Modern matchups


Affinity


http://www.starcitygames.com/article/28051_Affinity-Matchup-Encyclopedia.html

Hard to say, generally game 1's are favorable, but sideboarded games can be awful due to how strong artifact hate is.  I know mono-U Tron hates this matchup.   Junk can have a hard time due to lack of ancient grudge.  Stony Silence stops ramp/Cranial Plating/Steel Overseer but you need to get it down early.
