It's been a while, but with a return to live Magic creeping slowly closer, the guys decided it was time to check back in on everyone's least/most favorite format: Modern! There are a lot of questions to be answered such as: where did all these Slivers come from? What does Bryan have against Lightning Skelementals? And is it finally time to put our Primeval Titans to rest? Listen and find out!

Episode 45: Oh right, Omnath...

With two big Historic events on tap this weekend, Gerry and Bryan are diving into the results of the Zendikar Rising Championships to figure out what to play. The usual suspects are all discussed, but there’s also a new deck that’s starting to catch the team’s attention. On top of that, the guys weigh in on aliens, quicksand, and how Gerry can stop setting himself on fire. This episode might have gone a little off the rails...
