The Dive Down

Episode 316: The Quiet Before the Dragonstorm

Listen Later

We looked at nine Magic Online Modern Challenges that fired in the unique week between a Modern ban and Dragonstorm: Tarkir's online debut. On this week's show, we benchmark the current Modern format, and look ahead at some possible new tech from the upcoming set.

Boros Energy is back on top but Eldrazi is not far behind. Can combo, midrange, or even control decks carve out a place for themselves in the format as Modern RCQ season goes into full swing? Will Ugin, Eye of the Storms put Tron back on the map? Is Stock Up poised to make a splash in Modern? What's the new Mox Opal deck? Tune in for another lively episode of What's In Your Mouth? The Dive Down!
