Dominaria's Judgment

After a breakdown of yet another crazy MOCS, we check in on Pioneer ahead of the rapidly approaching next round of Regional Championships and address the burning question of the hour - is WR Convoke literally Hogaak, or just metaphorically Hogaak? 00:00 MOCS Modern Recap 28:30 Pioneer - RB Mid  39:08 (Stock) Green  48:00 HOGAAK?!

It turns out that both Standard and the ban list itself will be on a new schedule going forward so we drill down on the implications of all that and Dom gives a spirited defense of Sheoldred before we turn our attention to the curiosity that is March of the Machine: Aftermath.  00:00 Ban announcement announcement  24:50 Dom's ode to Sheoldred + more bans 48:42 Aftermath 1:33:30 Results/Nonsense Ari on Standard bans that never were  / what broke Standard Yargle Bargle Niv to Niv to Light Patreon / Twitter / Discord

Dom makes his not-so-triumphant return this week to talk about his entirely average but wholly demoralizing finish at Pro Tour March of the Machine. After a rare and lengthy Limited segment (!) and a look at current Standard, we dissect the announcement that Standard is moving to a three-year rotation schedule and ask if this is the reboot that paper Standard desperately needed. 16:23 Limited 1:03:19 Standard 1:24:45 Standard Rotation Changes  1:45:23 Results/Nonsense 1:59:00 Dom's existential crisis Patreon / Twitter / Discord

With Dom at the Pro Tour in Minneapolis, Jarvis Yu joins the podcast for some RCQ format grab bag. Where does Pioneer stand as the effects of the last Pro Tour and last sets trickle through, how do you approach March of the Machine Limited, and how does an entire Modern Challenge earn the Nonsense of the Week title? 00:00 - Pioneer Roundup 33:30 - March of the Machine Limited 54:30 - PT Standard Predictions 1:05:30 - Modern Results 1:18:30 - Nonsense of the Week - An Entire Modern Challenge
