Summary: Episode Summary Episode 47: Picking The Right Version Of Red Back for some more. We talked and didn’t want to leave our fans with another hiatus so we’re happy to squeeze in another Pod. This past weekend we battled in a three person team tournament (Standard, Modern, Legacy), PPTQ’d, and have been talking a lot about changes to the current formats. We get into some of the differences between Red decks right now, how we feel they are positioned, perceived pros and cons, and what our gameplan would be for the upcoming weekend (Pro Tour Kyoto, PPTQs, 1ks, etc). We close it out with our usual Mailbag, Brewer’s Corner, and Loose Change. We’re looking to expand our current segments going forward, so please stay tuned for some positive development. Lastly, if you have any suggestions please let us know, you can find us here: (Based out of Madison, WI and Chicago, IL.
