There are a lot of big Modern events coming up this weekend and next (first 2 weekends of December 2018) so we decided to do some good ol’ fashioned number crunching! We’re aiming to help you know what you are likely to run into and ways of tuning your 75 to get an edge out there right now.

In this episode we talk about the metagame and a bunch of interesting high level play topics and tournaments and…who are we kidding, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ASSASSIN’S TROPHY!

We do talk about the ban list and unbans (our last discussion for the forseeable future btw), a sweet blast from the past archetype set for a comeback and a Spice Rack card built for the grind!

3) Some people have asked if Turn One Wild NaKatl with Zach and Kat (the pilot that ran in the feed as Episode 86) is going to replace a regular Turn One Thoughtseize episode in our monthly release schedule. NOPE! The support of our Patrons allowed me to shift some responsibilities so we can focus on bringing you MOAR CONTENT!
