Baker crushed it this weekend in the Modern Challenge with a deck he picked up Saturday, and that made up a third of the top 32 decks: Bridgevine. Featuring several powerful new cards from Modern Horizons, they deep dive on the archetype and why joining the Arisen Necropolis is better than beating them in this case.

Baker and Nick check in on Standard and Modern before the Invitational, and talk about how Standard got to the... odd place it is now.

*Note: There was a recording problem on Nick's end. While we've identified it going forward, it can be a bit choppy. There wasn't a good way to re-record and have this out before the weekend, so we're releasing it in the best form we can, and will be back to a smoother cast next week*

Baker and Nick are both excited to get deckbuilding with Modern Horizons, and layout two new archetypes built around some of the strongest cards previewed yet: the brand new Wrenn and Six, and the new to Modern Kess, Dissident Mage!
