Let me first grab the most recent set release and Modern meta changes to identify the latest set, then pull card presence data!
The most recent set is Edge of Eternities (EOE), released on 2025-08-01. Now let me find the cards from that set that are most played in Modern!
Also let me get total deck counts to compute proper presence percentages:
Here's the breakdown of Edge of Eternities (EOE) cards currently seeing play in Modern:
š Edge of Eternities ā Most Played Cards in Modern
(Since set release: Aug 1, 2025 ā across 30,121 entries)
The set hasn't made a massive splash yet, but here are the standouts:
| Card | Decks | Total Copies | Avg Copies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bygone Colossus | 2 | 6 | 3.0 |
| Mechanozoa | 2 | 3 | 1.5 |
| Orbital Plunge | 2 | 2 | 1.0 |
| Alpharael, Dreaming Acolyte | 1 | 2 | 2.0 |
| Beamsaw Prospector | 1 | 2 | 2.0 |
| Illvoi Infiltrator | 1 | 2 | 2.0 |
| Pinnacle Kill-Ship | 1 | 2 | 2.0 |
(Several other EOE cards appear as 1-ofs in single decks)
ā ļø Honest Assessment: EOE adoption in Modern is very limited at this stage. The highest-played card (Bygone Colossus) only appears in 2 decks out of 30,000+ entries ā that's a presence rate of <0.01%. No EOE card has yet broken through as a Modern staple.
This could change as players continue to experiment, but right now the set hasn't had a significant impact on the Modern meta.
