Dominaria's Judgment

This week we try to present a united front as we judge the official and not-so-official Dominaria previews available at the time of recording.  Patreon / Twitter / Discord Results (Modern): Challenges - Saturday / Sunday LMS Copenhagen SCG Balt Team / Modern 5k Previews (in order): Liliana of the Veil Temporary Lockdown Rundvelt Hordemaster Twinferno Haughty Djinn Inscribed Tablet Stenn Cut Down Karn's Sylex Resolute Reinforcements Llanowar Loamspeaker Astor, Bearer of Blades Plaza of Heroes Evolved Sleeper Serra Paragon Queen Allenal Painlands

The last SCG Baltimore was derailed by the pandemic - this one will hopefully go more smoothly and will test teams in Pioneer, Modern, and Legacy. We tackle all of those and celebrate mad genius cftsoc3's smart yet nonsensical Legacy Showcase win with a deckbuilding masterpiece.

  (apologies for some slight audio issues this episode) The Modern Showcase [Tournament That Matters] took place last weekend and the results make for interesting viewing. We also take a chance to check in on some of the rising and falling stars of the format - which cards are still getting too much/little hype?

This week we dive into the kaleidoscopic blur of Modern Four-Colour Fill-in-the-blank and uncover a family of decks with more deckbuilding decisions and tradeoffs than almost anything else in the format. Should you stick with stock Four-Colour or embrace Traverse the Ulvenwald, Risen Reef, or something else entirely? We do our best to answer that question and many others for now.
