Episode 232: Over the Top with The One Ring

Listen Later

1 hour 26 minutes

This week the boyz go over the top with the biggest decks that have gotten buffs from the LOTR set. Control and big mana strategies have been strengthened by The One Ring, so we take a trio of the best of them out for a test drive. That's right, it's time for Shane to break out his (nearly) all Russian deck, Mono-Green Tron. But before we get to that Stan professes his love for Mono-Black Coffers and Dave takes a spin with the Twitter hype deck of the week — UB Ring Control by Talisker.

• Mono-Black Coffers

• Dimir Control (from TaliskerMTGO)

• Mono-Green Tron
