Episode 125 - Back to the Future

Thanks to Wizards of the Coast for our free preview card for Streets of New Capenna: Illuminator Virtuoso!

In this episode, which may or may not have a reused title, we talk briefly about the post-Lurrus ban landscape then get into tuning the Black Coffers Control deck, building Shadowless Death's Shadow with Hidetsugu Consumes All and *another* Prison deck, this time with Uba Mask and Drannith Magistrate!  

In this episode, we steal the Moonsnare Prototype and end up IN PRISON! We hit Kamigawa, catch up with Gadget from Rescue Rangers, then go deep in the catalog to find some sweet sweet synergy with some accidntally Modern legal "all-stars" like...Howling Mine, Storage Matrix and Root Maze! The inspiration for this deck was definitely Brian "BoshNRoll" Coval's sweet Legacy Bant Stasis video which you can and should watch here: https://youtu.be/mLDMd3yUIOg  

It's the first show of 2021...2022? Sure. Who knows. Bottom line, Hatebears is due for a comeback and the old ones just don't cut it anymore so we're here to tell you the who's what's when's why's and how's of hating Modern in 2022!

This episode we're talkin' ENGINES y'all! Lot of Loam talk, getting going and riding it to a non-zero amount of victory. We explore a bit of how Modern feels and try to figure out if it feels "good". It's been a minute so thanks for sticking with us!

We all want the new shiny but what about the old shiny? Sometimes the New Hotness actually isn't that hot and old & busted is actually better than you remember. We're updating Jund and there isn't a monkey in sight!

Don't overthink it y'all. Play the good cards. We're doing a little catch up, some MH2 talk, AFR talk, All The Best Cards.dek, Spice Rack and all that jazz. Give it a listen and let us know what you think about what we think!

How many horns does a unicorn have? THE ANSWER MAY SURPRISE YOU! Thanks to Wizards of the Coast for providing us this FREE preview card to share! Celestial Unicorn 2W Creature - Unicorn Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on Celestial Unicorn. 3/2

  We're talking Modern Horizons 2 set review but through the magic of TIME TRAVEL this episode was recorded on JULY 7TH 2021, a glorious future where Urza's Saga has already been banned so we don't have to talk about it! Ari took the helm on Blue and Green cards, I talk about Black and Red cards and the rest sort of fall into place as we go.

Huge thanks to Wizards of the Coast for providing this FREE preview card for the upcoming set, Modern Horizons 2! We break down both Limited and Constructed play for this card and create a new decklist that is both a callback to an old archetype and a powerful new Modular deck that gives Hardened Scales a run for its money!
