Dominaria's Judgment 159: Chicago Drift with Jarvis Yu

There are fifteen sets to cover and one intrepid host to cover them - a monologue on the hits and misses of the set, its implications for Magic, and the many weird little guys within Patreon / Discord 

With Ari attending to a baby sprite dragon and Dom left to judge on all his own, the streams crossed this week as former MTG Grindcast co-host Collins Mullen drops by to talk about requalifying for the PT at RC Minneapolis, Standard lessons for RC Hartford and beyond, and what preparing for tournaments looks/feels like as we all get older (and wiser?)Patreon / Discord 

No last hurrah would be complete without a timeless (...and somewhat overdue) theory article so here Ari shares what's on his mind as he gallops off into the sunset - the hard problems in Magic then, now, and in betweenSam Black on PlaystylesPatreon / Discord 

Bans have struck and every format is about to be caught up in a dragon storm... or are they? We go over the changes coming everywhere - including the podcast itself!00:00 Intro + Pauper05:15 Legacy27:55 Pioneer/Explorer30:50 Modern38:44 Standard + Tarkir1:15:15 Special AnnouncementPatreon / Discord 

With Dom on the move this week, Jarvis Yu joins the podcast to yell at clouds during the quarterly pre-B&R announcement airing of grievances. One format is safe from our ire, the others.... who knows, and that's even ignoring that Underworld Breach is finally over. Patreon / Discord 

As Breach's reign of terror drags on, we look to a post-ban and post-Breach future and ask whether Modern is fixable as it becomes the focus for RCQ grinders everywhere. After that, we have an exciting first batch of Tarkir: Dragonstorm previews to sink our teeth into - but first, yet another slippery character finds himself in the eye of the storm...00:00 Breach + post-ban Modern33:30 Wily Goblins40:45 Dragonstorm Previews Patreon / Discord 

There's a lot to catch up on this week - the Domain-ation of Standard at the PT, the sloppy and scandalous plays on- and off-camera, a smattering of previews from universes within and beyond, and a truly baroque Nonsense of the Year segment...00:00 Standard52:27 Limited1:04:30 "Sloppiness"1:14:36 Secret Lairs1:25:15 Previews PlanesPatreon / Discord 

It's Pro Tour weekend and Dom is finally qualified for a Pro Tour pundit take-a-thon again! The volatile chimera of Dom, Ari, and Jarvis tries to glimpse the future without too much boomer reminiscing about the past...Patreon / Discord 

After a barnstorming weekend for Breach silenced our local haters and doubters, it was actually a common Amulet W as Primeval Titan enthusiast Pete Husisian and his intimidatingly large arms held a tragically mislabelled trophy. The champ joins us to talk through the tournament, the deck, and preparing for all the tougher challenges his sun run just qualified him for. 00:00 RC Portland/Chiba + Aetherdrift impact57:55 Interview with PetePete's Portland VOD ReviewKeeping Bad Amulet HandsPatreon / Discord 

Dom's (so) back from Ottawa with a Pro Tour invite in tow and tales from the trenches of Ringless Modern. With the underworld officially breached and the weird space aliens in the ascendant, are the cute cats and dogs of Boros and Sewer the heroes now? And how has Amulet remained Tier 0 or 1 through formats will all of this nonsense?!Then, we're one-and-done with Aetherdrift spoilers as Dom finally finds his nemesis...00:00 Modern at/post RCs 1:14:05 AetherdriftRC report + post-RC list/guide on Dom's PatreonPatreon / Discord
