Late to the life adulting shift in tone from previously niche Magic the Gathering podcast. The one thing they actually were subject matter experts on has been abandoned for the exploration of being a grown-up. As banal as listening to your co-workers discuss their heavy drinking and binging on media.
Dredge was my first modern deck bc of the old episode where Shane and the lads did a deep dive. His enthusiasm regarding the deck sold me on it, and I loved playing modern for the first time. I’ve listened to every episode since, and even though the content is shifting, I still really enjoy any time you guys talk about Magic. Thanks for the hours of entertainment!
I used to love this show but they’ve gone away from their roots and everything that made them unique. It’s not really The Dive Down anymore
The only MTG podcast I’ve been able to get into. Genuinely enjoy each episode and look forward to new releases.
I do wish for a little more focus on whatever format the RCQ season is but I do know that wasn’t the foundation of the pod.
Entertaining and enlightening. This podcast should be in every active magic players rotation. They hit on all of the relevant current events and topics.
