The Dive Down

Episode 187: Liliana, Pain Lands, & Frank Karsten


Listen Later

Our exciting first bit of Dominaria United spoilers are here, and the gang reacts to the addition of three new allied pain lands, Liliana of the Veil coming to Pioneer, and more.

We also kick off the show with a Rhino tournament report from... Shane! The one and only took the deck out for his first Modern RCQ and did not disappoint us. Then we wrap up the episode with a discussion of a fascinating new article from our favorite Magic mathematician, Frank Karsten, who's latest foray into metagame reporting provides a new framework for deck and tournament analysis in the winner's metagame.

Part 1: Shane Says Things About Rhinos

Part 2: Stan Says Things Under Embargoes
Part 3: Dave Says Things About Adjusting Wins
