Bad news: No episode this week - Good news: It's because there's so much mtg to grind that we'll have a bunch to talk about next week!

This week we’re not going to dwell for too long on the state of standard, just for a few minutes at the start. Our main topic is a selection of cards from the new set that we think will be impactful in the Historic format.
