This week, James, Adam and Doug tackle three more Modern topics. James starts off with a controversial banning proposal for Modern. Beyond rhetoric, he’s also got the numbers to back it up. Give a listen and see if you agree.

Adam shares a list based on mono-blue control, skipping Blood Moon and doubling down on Vedalken Shackles. His list will be at the bottom of the show notes.

Finally, Doug goes over whether it’s better to play Kiki-Pod or Melira-Pod. The discussion shifts gears from decks to looking at two specific cards – Restoration Angel and Thoughtseize. Maybe the entire choice depends on which card is better positioned right now.

  1. On a hill outside Johannesburg thousands of labour activists are gathering for the national conference of the trade union federation Cosatu – against a backdrop of continuing unrest in the mining industry, and pointed questions about role and relevance of mainstream unions, and their cosy relationship with government.
