• (00:02:17) So which Core 2019 card actually has already had an impact in Modern?
• (00:15:53) Quick Hits: [card]Fourth Bridge Prowler[/card] vs [card]Gut Shot[/card] in Modern Humans? Has Humans hit a new level? With [card]Militia Bugler[/card], how do you get an edge in the mirror match?
• (00:21:37) What happened to Edgar last week? Why did he play Standard RB Aggro to the top 8 on an SCG team trios open?
• (00:28:31) Has much changed in the Standard metagame since Nationals? For Edgar and Derek, what is their process for preparing for the team Pro Tour coming up in two weeks? With no draft at this coming PT, is there any reason to draft Core Set 2019 at all? How does the format seem?
• (00:39:32) [card]Vedalken Humilator[/card]: KYT’s Commander 2018 preview? How good is it?
