Or is it the zenith of nerdiness?
Well, one or the other.
First thing’s first – Cavs are crushing it, Brian is disavowing Melo. The basketball stuff is done by about minute 8 (for those of you who pay attention to those things).
The brewing begins with the R/W Exert deck from last week’s Star City Open Top 4. Brian tries his hand at a more Exert-focused, land-heavier build on MTGO.

These are new deck ideas not finished killers, but you can listen to how our stalwart hosts are thinking.
Speaking of thinking… They think about what decks various Watchmen, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy would play. It devolves quickly, and low.
You know you love it.
