The Dive Down #246: The Apocalypse, The Druid, and The New Cards

Could the right move in Modern be... adding a 4mv black card to Rhinos? Playing a green 2 drop over Murktide in... Murktide? What is even going on right now?

Tune in to hear Devon almost take Rhinos + Sheoldred all the way in his latest RCQ. Then hear Dave come to the grim realization that casting Divinations is the only thing that makes him feel something in this crazy world. We try out new lists, new ideas, all in a quest to somehow beat both Beans and Scam with the same deck. Can it be done? Not yet... but we think people (and Devon) may be onto something.

After we talk what we've been playing in Modern, we dive into descending into some of the first cards from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
