We’re tackling a deckbuilding conundrum in this episode. Can you take a meme deck like Modern Hammertime and turn it into a real contender? If so, how?

Enter: the Elephant! We dig into this approach to thinking about card choices and deck composition and bang out something that we’re happy to have in the tool box.

Where we landed: https://scryfall.com/@DiscardSpell/decks/0414a428-3072-42d7-b4e1-4479a808a146

We’re back after a medium sized hiatus talking Modern, doing some catching up and delivering a minimum of one Minotaur Surprise (not a euphemism).

Join Ari @armlx and I as we take a quick survey of Constructed formats, looking for any port in a sharknado!

Ikoria is upon us and the Companion mechanic is causing shockwaves in every constructed format. So…is it good or is it whack?

Join Ari and I as we dig into Companion, brushwaggs and more!

(We also hit some highlights from the set AND put together an infinite mana combo with a card I can guarantee you haven’t heard of before!)

Welp, the fairy tale has come to an end for many decks with the banning of Once Upon a Time. We provide a little commentary, a little perspective, and more importantly, practical advice on some things the major OUaT decks can slot in for the time being.

Thanks for listening and please wash your hands!

“Great players that sideboard badly lose more than medium players that sideboard well.”

Sideboarding is an essential skill both at the deckbuilding level and for tournament success. In this episode we cover some general points on the subject along with a card by card case study of the sideboard configuration that took Ahren’s TemUro deck from a 2-3 zero to 5-0 hero.

More Real Talk about Pioneer, an Underworld Breach deck that should be on your radar, BOGO Spice Rack cards and more!

This episode is a little late coming out (long story) but we cover the Oko, Opal, Lattice ban and make some predictions. How did we do? Listen and find out!

There’s puns, Pioneer talk, Theros stuff…it is a big old burger with all the fixins (no lettuce tho) and a Spice Rack to boot.

We should be back to regular schedule after this so thanks for sticking with us!
