This week on The Dive Down we get back to basics. Stan and Shane focus on the three things The Dive Down does best: a) break down a large Modern tournament (SCG Pittsburgh), 2) give some takes about Rhinos, and iii) have a heartfelt conversation about MTG Universes Beyond. Mono White Hammer, Halo Forager, Sheoldred, and Captain America – what do they have in common? They're all here for this week's episode of The Dive Down.

Gerry is ready for Pittsburgh! Or is he? More Bean nonsense, more excuses for not playing Scam, and likely more losses are heading his way.

Billy and Mapson are back. Kinda. Billy has some technical issues so you'll hear just him. Then just Mapson. But Billy's there but then he's not. It's confusing. Mapson will be at SCG Pittsburgh. Listen to his thoughts on Modern and Legacy. Check out our merch over at Bonfire! The threads have looked amazing and we're happy that our listeners are enjoying them too! https://www.bonfire.com/store/dark-depths-podcast/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=store_page_share&utm_campaign=dark-depths-podcast&utm_content=default
This week marks a full year of the podcast and one of the most turbulent years in Modern's history. We take your questions on learning, content, Modern, and nostalgia among other things along with the usual dose of nonsense and an early look at Streets of New Capenna's impact on Modern.Timestamps:35:45 Mailbag1:43:04 NonsensePatreon / Twitter / DiscordResults:Challenges - Saturday / SundaySCG Pittsburgh 5ks - Friday / SundayNonsense:BR Vivien ComboRocco/AsmoLink

Faithless Brewing, Episode 10: Lotus Field What's better than a Black Lotus? How about a free Black Lotus every turn? Magic 2020's "fixed" version of Lotus Vale comes with a host of interesting clauses: hexproof, sacrifice two lands, enters the battlefield tapped. The crew sets out to use every part of the buffalo, either dodging the drawbacks or turning them into advantages. There might even be some 9/9 hexproof attackers in our future. But which builds are competitive, and which are just a field of memes? Roundup: The New Tier One The results from GP Dallas and SCG Pittsburgh are in. Hogaak established itself as tier zero, but it didn't sweep the events. Instead, a new tier one emerged, starring Izzet Phoenix and UW Control. But don't blink, because the London Mulligan is already here to shake up the format, and a B&R announcement is right around the corner. Plus: a tournament report with BG Rock. Good old rock, nothing beats rock. Grim Flayer Rock: 2-3 SCG IQ, some things do in fact beat Rock Flashback: Force of Virtue While Tom Ross was cruising to a top 8 finish with Hogaak Bridgevine, we were working hard trying to squeeze playable decks out of his pet design Force of Virtue. The card proved surprisingly good, and the combo with Squadron Hawk should not be underestimated. The most competitive shell also proved to be the most delightful: Goat Devotion, harnessing the power of Nykthos, Ranger-Captain of Eos, and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Mardu PyroHawk : 4-6 leagues, felt much better than its record, Seasoned Pyromancer is the truth Goat Devotion: 8-7 leagues, surprisingly good, but weak to decks that don't care about combat Turbo Elesh Norn: 4-1 league, Elesh Norn is very well positioned Esper Skies: 3-2 league, needs more disruption, less Pride of the Clouds Brew Session: Lotus Field Naya Value Town (Sketch) Blood Sun Eldrazi (Sketch) One-Punch Land (Sketch) Twiddle Storm (Sketch) Contact Us Twitter: @FaithlessMTG Email: faithless.brewing@gmail.com Homepage: faithlessbrewing.podbean.com
