Episode 166: All Shadow, No Doubt (ft. Michael Rapp)
This week, Shane's on vacation and Stan's late so Dave gets to do whatever he wants. And what he's decided is to check in with friend of the show and certified shadow scientist Michael Rapp about where everyone's avatar is headed these days. That's right, it's time for a deep dive on (mostly) Grixis Death's Shadow (along with a few other things). But first, we chat about Michael's recent trip to Indy and break down the Modern meta there.
The Break Down: Shane’s Gone, Stan’s Late
The Dive Down: Why Street Wraith is a Bad Card Now
The Dive Down (pt.2): Shadow, Prepared Three Ways
