Episode 282: The Bird in the Room: PT MH3/Amsterdam Breakdown
This week Dave, Devon, and Stan talk about what went down in Amsterdam — birds, rings, energy, all of it — and also make some wild (but informed) guesses about what might happen next.

Show Notes
PT Amsterdam was last week and Modern will never be the same. This week Dave, Devon, and Stan talk about the huge impact MH3 cards had on the tournament — and, of course, spend a ton of time speculating about what's going to happen with Nadu. Bans? Errata? Only Fly Away? We'll see, but we mostly bet it won't happen until about 6 weeks from now (sorry).
Devon shares what he thinks the next best deck will be. Stan gets energetic about his RCQ deck choice. Dave is torn between two ways to gain card advantage.

• Anyone Have a Line on Cheap Soul Spikes?
• Is The One Ring The Real Problem?
