I know some of the news that has come out of this weekend has quite possibly put a damper on some of your spirits, but worry not! We've got Craig Wescoe on tonight to talk about Pro Tour Shadows Over Innistrad as well as the Organized Play announcement that has bummed a lot of people out. He's one of the people DIRECTLY affected by this since he's a Platinum Pro himself, and he's relentlessly positive about the whole thing. So everyone just calm down and look on the bright side! Wasn't this Pro Tour awesome outside of all that? YEAH IT WAS!

A brief overview of what we all got up to.

Renfield leads the discussion on the cards he thinks will slip quickly into EDH.

The “Cleric Count” tots up some more.

Discussion regarding how the latest Modern ban list and the launch of the new set has and will affect the modern format.

And why Jeskai decks are the one to watch this time around.

Closing.

Quick Plug for the MMH event in Brum next month. Sat 14th of May. The format being Modern this time (you have asked and Magicmadhouse have heard you) - Hope to see you all there
