This episode we're talkin' ENGINES y'all! Lot of Loam talk, getting going and riding it to a non-zero amount of victory. We explore a bit of how Modern feels and try to figure out if it feels "good".
It's been a minute so thanks for sticking with us!
We all want the new shiny but what about the old shiny? Sometimes the New Hotness actually isn't that hot and old & busted is actually better than you remember. We're updating Jund and there isn't a monkey in sight!
Don't overthink it y'all. Play the good cards. We're doing a little catch up, some MH2 talk, AFR talk, All The Best Cards.dek, Spice Rack and all that jazz. Give it a listen and let us know what you think about what we think!

We're talking Modern Horizons 2 set review but through the magic of TIME TRAVEL this episode was recorded on JULY 7TH 2021, a glorious future where Urza's Saga has already been banned so we don't have to talk about it!
Ari took the helm on Blue and Green cards, I talk about Black and Red cards and the rest sort of fall into place as we go.
Huge thanks to Wizards of the Coast for providing this FREE preview card for the upcoming set, Modern Horizons 2!
We break down both Limited and Constructed play for this card and create a new decklist that is both a callback to an old archetype and a powerful new Modular deck that gives Hardened Scales a run for its money!
We're taking a spin through some 3 color combos for underexplored, overlooked deck builds and first up is Mardu! White, Black, and Red have the best of everything in a lot of categories but often end up with midrange piles without closing speed. Let's see if we can fix that!
The new format overlords have been solidified for a few weeks and you still won't let go of your old deck. We're here to help! In this episode we cover some broad guidelines for what works and what doesn't then provide some lists we've doctored to help escape the Stockholm Syndrome of thinking a 30% matchup against Heliod is a-OK.

There's a lot to talk about in Strixhaven so @armlx and I split the set into U/R/Spellsy stuff and B/G/Creaturey stuff then whatever the hell is going on with White and colorless. Anyway we do a two+ hour dive so give it a listen!
