The wonderful world of SCG has gifted us some 5K top 8s to discuss. Sadly we didn't get as much data as a challenge but we always enjoy getting to see the results from high stakes events. We wrap up by discussing the ramifications of TCGPlayer buying Channel Fireball and giving our thoughts on double master 2022.

Matt and Jake spend a decent chunk of time in today’s episode chatting, but still go in deep on some cool legacy and modern decks before poking fun at WOTC for their recent ban in their format full of fake cards.

Matt and Jake have been CLEANING UP lately. Jake made it to the top 4 and split at his Modern 1K and Matt is currently undefeated at monday night pioneer! Legacy top 8 had some interesting decks but the meta was still almost 30% delver. Modern also didn’t have too much brand new in it but is still showing some churn.

I’m going to level with you, both legacy and modern challenges looked pretty bad this week. We saw a lot of top 8s with 3 of a single deck in them. It was noticeable seeing phoenix in legacy though. To wrap things up our newest patron asked us to take a look at his new pauper brew and we have suggestions.

Let’s dig into this awesome looking legacy top 8 for sunday! Don’t mind that Saturday was a delver dumpster fire. Modern looks like alot of the same, sticking with its mostly healthy, if not a little stale, meta.

So we got an unjustified ban in Pioneer, Wotc announced they have no intention of making ANY ban in Legacy, AND delver was 27 to 38 percent of the challenge top 32s this weekend?! What is going on! The only good that happened was the Dallas Dreamhack Modern 10k had some pretty cool lists in the top 8 including jund and mill.

MORE GOOD LEGACY! The good times keep rolling in the world of Legacy. Modern Even has hammertime back. All in all it was a really good weekend from the Legacy and Modern Metas. Sadly it’s been a bit quiet from a news perspective.

Wow legacy is looking good for the second week in a row. It’s getting more and more fun to discuss these diverse and somewhat different top eights. Let’s hope it keeps going. Modern is going pretty good, and it was a really good weekend for Titan decks between Saturday, Sunday and paper 5k. Lastly Matt and Jake go off on a new dragon turtle spoiler that is just bad card design.

If we just ignore the 3 delver decks there is some really cool stuff in legacy for the showcase including legit goblins and slivers! Even modern saw a few tier 2 or 3 decks show up in the top 8. Lastly it looks like Matt may have found his pioneer deck in a gruul dreadhorde arcanist list that was love at first sight.

If we just look at the Sunday challenge legacy isn’t too bad. It looks like if you just pack your chalice of the voids then delver will sit the fuck down. Burn is back in modern and held it’s own with the rest of the meta. To wrap up Matt and Jake weigh in on the ban discussion in regards to pioneer as there has been alot of chatter in the magic world about what bans pioneer “needs”.
