This week we tackle the monstrous changes that are coming to our game this fall, all filtered through the brilliant mind of Patrick Chapin. You also get a full deck tech on his latest block deck, Burnt Toast featuring the ‘best’ command, Incendiary Command. Since we generally agree on the changes, I thought you’d be more interested in these thoughts as well as his opinions on Vintage, helping White, and more!
And here is Patrick Chapin’s full-blown Deck Tech on his latest creation, Burnt Toast:
Here is his latest build of Burnt Toast (just slightly different from the video, and includes a sideboard):

Thanks for watching… this week was really tough, as you can imagine. Next week we’ll check out some B-footage left on the cutting room floor, as well as an update on the current tournament scene.
Until next time, this is Evan Erwin, tapping the cards with Patrick Chapin so you don’t have to.
