Episode 121: Early Risers of Strixhaven: At the Head of the Class with Aspiringspike

The unofficial 4th host Evart Moughon, aka Aspiringspike, joins us yet again to go over his early testing and experiments in Modern. Dave talks about, what else, Modern Prowess and Historic Phoenix, and Shane says another aggro deck in Historic isn't good enough. Probably. Before that we look at two early Historic tournaments and have an extended jam session of Cool Decks, Inc. The Break Down: Spike Top 8'd a Challenge! The Dive Down: Spike Made Some Luminancer Decks!
