This week is the return of the popular "Live Brew" episode format where we pick a card and make a deck around it. Our choice this time: Cryptic Serpent! What's better than a 6/5 for 7? A 6/5 for 2!

I also tested this deck on Twitch for the Saturday Morning Breakfast Stream. You can watch the replay HERE.

Stay tuned after the regular show for our interview with Ari Lax where we delve into Death's Shadow: past, present and future!

After nearly 2 years and over 100 hours of content we have hit episode 50. We take a look back and see how modern has changed since we've started after several big bans and a large design shift by WotC.

Thanks to everyone who has stuck with us, and to everyone who has given us a listen even if you haven't stuck around. We appreciate all of the support and look forward to doing many more episodes.

The rumors of modern's death have been greatly exaggerated. In this episode we dissect some of the recent large tournament results and see how interactive decks are competing in this proactive meta game.

We also look at the format to see what cards could be safely unbanned and if anything really needs to be banned for the health of the format.

Lastly, we talk about Grixis Delver and Temur Delver as our current decks of choice.

As always that you so much for listening, if you would like to get in touch with us you can do so:

TurnOneThoughtseize is coming to you now from several remote locations, as we talk about the ever growing Aggressive threat in the modern format. Looking at Caleb Durward's recent run with Bant spirits, does this show a trend for more lower to the ground creature based midrange and tempo strategies? We dissect some recent tournament results and break down how you can still play what you want in this faster modern meta.
