Episode 165: The People's Meta: Life After Lurrus

We are back with the second installment of The People's Meta! With Lurrus gone, and the first big paper tournament happening in the Hunter Burton Memorial Open, there's no time like the present to take a look at what's happening in Modern. We categorize and talk about every deck in a recent 5-0 League dump and break down what's changing in the wide open world of Magic Online. We then take some time to look at the paper metagame of the HBMO, examine what's changing, and take a gander at what did well down in Texas.

The Break Down: Dave Breaks Down

The Break Down, pt.2: Dave Dissects a Dump

The Break Down, pt.3: The 2022 HBMO
