This week we do a deep dive on Fpawlusz's Titanvial deck and discuss everything about the deck. Why it's built the way it is, what it's doing well, what we don't like about the deck, and how it can evolve! Is it the next step in Primeval titan strategies in a Modern Uro World?

The guys make a triumphant return to Modern with... Bogles Tron???

It's not Bogles Tron, but they do go in depth on not only the top decks in the format and how you should be boarding against them, but how you should assess differences between similar decks to build a stronger sideboard.

Zach and Harlan look at whats really going on at the top of the Pioneer meta game. Is Mono green as good as it looks this week? What's the deal with the sacrifice decks popping up? Is there another deck that's significantly better than the other options?

Ari Lax stops by the show to discuss post ban standard and how it's been. We talk some Sultai, how dominant the archetype feels, then get into if the bans were even worth doing. We also touch on what Amonkhet Remastered will be bringing to historic so stay tuned to the end if thats what you're interested in!

Zach and Harlan go over the pioneer lists from the Showcase event and discuss what this means for the formats direction. Zach also gives up on Sram. Is this the end of an era or will Zach make a bad decision and quickly get back together with his Ex?

The guys lay out which decks are rising to the top of the new Pioneer metagame! They also give their deck recommendations for not only Pioneer but each format leading into the MTGO Showcase weekend.

Today we have a brief discussion on current Amulet Titan lists, briefly discuss the standard bannings, then take a deep dive into the changes to the Pioneer metagame.

Today we explore Historic in anticipation of the Arena Open this weekend. We think friend of the cast Andrew Jessup may have broken it for the event with his Underworld Breach combo deck!
