As I see it, tempo is one of two subsets of aggro-control. The aggro-control archetype in particular merits further discussion, and even a comprehensive text of its own. I've touched on archetype theory before ( a few times, in fact), and have since crystalized my vision. Part of the reason for this change is the deck's splintering into distinct BGx and UBx variants, with Grixis Shadow leading the charge for Snapcaster Mage aficionados. The success of Grixis Shadow-or more specifically, Shadow's occasional adoption of soft permission and cantrips-has led many to wonder whether the deck falls under the ever-misunderstood strategic umbrella of "tempo." The explosion of Jund Shadow onto the paper scene at roughly 10% has since cooled, with the deck taking a more reasonable 8% share when lumped in with Abzan Shadow builds. Immediately following its mainstream introduction to Modern by Josh Utter-Leyton and his crew at GP Vancouver, Death's Shadow gained significant footing in the metagame.
