Episode 234: PT Barcelona Takeaways: What Happened, What it Might Mean
This week Dave, Shane, and Stan go through the biggest things we learned from the Modern PT last week in Barcelona. It might feel like Rakdos and Tron led the story (and they did) but there's a lot of other things to be learned from what happened. What do we think about The One Ring's win rate? How many decks out of the top 80% of the meta had winning records? How much more can we talk about Rhinos? The answers and what we think they mean might surprise you.
• Only 10 Decks Had 50%+ Win Rate
• The One Ring Might Not Be Broken
• But Grief Probably Is
