KYT, Rob, and Derek are joined by guests Bryan Gottlieb and Connor Bryant, to cover new game board layout policy changes, and how Dominaria is already changing Modern, Standard, and Limited.

• (00:04:59) Game layout policy changes: Does this sound like a good change?
• (00:15:31) What cards from Dominaria are looking good for Modern? Can [card]Skirk Prospector[/card] make Goblins? Is Dredge now relegated to being a worse [card]Hollow One[/card] deck? Will [card]Damping Sphere[/card] kill Tron, Storm, and KCI? Will [card]The Antiquities War[/card] find a fit? Which deck does Conner recommend for listeners going into this weekend?
• (00:31:50) Listener question: In Standard right now, is it worth dedicating a lot of sideboard space to beating a very bad matchup, or just playing the match-up lottery?
• (00:35:32) How is Standard with Dominaria looking on MTGO? Derek playing UB Midrange in Standard. Will [card]Syncopate[/card] help define Standard?
• (00:41:44) Will [card]Karn, Scion of Urza[/card] redefine Affinity in Modern?
• (00:47:12) What other decks in Standard are finding success with Dominaria cards?
• (00:53:27) One weekend in, how does Dominaria Limited look? Is Dominaria slower-paced than Rivals of Ixalan?
• (00:58:18) Bryan was interviewed on Humans of Magic podcast! What was that like?
