The Dive Down

Episode 290: Grief is Banned. Joy is Allowed.

This week we talk about... what else? With multiple cards banned in Pioneer and Modern — and a few cards left suspiciously untouched — we talk through what happened, how we feel about it, and what we think will happen next.

• It Finally Happened

• Sorin and Amalia Go in Pioneer
• Nadu and Grief (?) Go in Modern
