Episode 188: Dominaria United Untied: Spoilers, Part 1

This week it's all about the first batch Dominaria United spoilers as Dave and Shane talk through what cards have caught our eye so far. How much of a lock is Temporary Lockdown? Does Cut Down make the cut? What other cards does Shane think aren't constructed worthy imo. imo bb. But before we get into all that we get a special RCQ report from Stan (still on vacation!) where he takes us through his last days of being a horn dog (and a top 8 finish!) in Green Bay. Dave and Shane also quickly check in on Frank Karsten's first pass at making sense of the modern meta.

Part 1: Our Final Horndog Update... For Now?
Part 2: A Frank Discussion About Modern
Part 3: A Lockdown, A Sylex, & More
