We are trying a new segment called "Metagame Hot Takes." We will be using this segment to discuss the current meta and what is being played. This week we focus on how fast the metagame is changing and how MTG Arena may be influencing it. Then we discuss the pillars of the current standard format. We go back to discuss sideboarding and end the show with the Arena metagame breakdown.

This week we talk about James's experience at the last of the RPTQ's. He discusses what to expect when you go to an event, what to bring and how to make sure it is happening when scheduled. We also take a trip to your sideboard. We discuss what you should be thinking about when you build a sideboard, what kind of cards to include and what cards you should take out.
