The Dive Down

Episode 301: Standard Rules, Modern Drools, and Pokémon Fools

Listen Later

We kick off this week's show with an important announcement about the future of The Dive Down. Just listen since it's too long to explain in writing. Then we bemoan the B&R window before highlighting the fun times happening in Standard right now. And we wrap with a nice chat about our love-hate relationship with the new Pokémon TCG Pocket.

The Break Down: A really important announcement

The Dive Down: The new Foundations of Standard and Draft
The Wind Down: Pokémon Pocket is a bad game we are playing
