Episode 176: The People's Meta(s): Modern and Pioneer

This week the three friends dive into an examination of not one but two metas — Modern and Pioneer — using some recent 5-0 league decks. We collect em, dissect em, and... tierect (???)... em. You know what we mean... we're placing them into groups and discussing what decks we think are going up, down, and sideways. Dave tries to run through Modern quickly. Stan and Shane dilly dally and then get mad when we don't have as much time as we'd hoped for Pioneer. Dave resists the urge to say I told you so. Please note/CW: this episode starts with a message of a serious nature from the team. Start at Housekeeping if you'd like to skip. The Dive Down: The People's Meta: Modern!
