Dominaria's Judgment

(apologies for muffled audio this week) There's a lot to catch up on this week with many Modern developments across various events but we find time to sit down with Bobby Fortanely for a deep dive on one of the most powerful and controversial decks in Pioneer. 41:39 Mono-Green Devotion  1:57:58 Nonsense Patreon / Twitter / Discord Results - Modern Showcase / Sunday Challenge (last week) Saturday / Sunday Nonsense: Esper Wizard Combo

It's a short (for us) episode this week as we take stock of the shifting scapes of Modern following another wave of interesting results and scams. Patreon / Twitter / Discord Results (Modern): Saturday / Sunday   4 Seasons   Axion Now Giga Modern   Nonsense: 4c Artificer Combo Micromancer    

It's all results all the time this week, as we have a curiously scheduled trio of big Modern tournaments on literally the last weekend before Dominaria United enters the fray as well as the first batch of results with the new cards. We take our usual tour of Modern - including Dom's colourful near-miss in the Modern Challenge - with stops in Pioneer, Standard, No Ban List Modern (!), and even...

With the whole set officially spoiled and our insatiable desire for new cards finally fulfilled, we give our thoughts on Dominaria United as a whole and its likely standouts for Modern and Pioneer.

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?
