Dominaria's Judgment

Everyone has been tempted by The Ring this week after the most impressive debut for a card in recent memory. We cover The One Ring as a reminder of why card evaluation is humbling and challenging, cover a batch of Modern results full of Ringbearers, and ponder where Modern goes from here.  Show Notes   Patreon / Twitter / Discord

With no obvious topic for the week, we thought we'd cover whatever you all wanted us to talk about with our occasional dive into the mailbag covering everything from progress and endurance as a player to Endurance as a Neoform win condition - followed by a delightful combo platter courtesy of Matt Nass and matsugan. 1:36:30 Matt Nass + matsugan   Amulet Lotus Belcher matsugan 's latest adventures  Patreon / Twitter / Discord

Our plucky heroes go on an epic adventure this week as they explore the fiery depths of a set that may or may not be Modern Horizons 3 in all but name before confronting the demonic horror of the sticker mechanic.   00:00 LOTR 1:15:05 Discourse of the Week 1:33:29 Results + Nonsense (+ stickers!!)
