Chapter 4: In Which there is Meandering

Paul’s Mini-Pod
Gruul/Simic madness.
Drakewing Krasis is great.
bloodrush is a great ability.
Don’t overlook Biovisionary.

Deck selection – This is a HUGE topic
Where do you start?
How do you decide which decks are worth building?
How do you tune your deck?
When do you give up on a deck?
Is there a lightbulb moment?

Jeff’s Modern PTQ
How did it go?
Would you take the same deck again?
