• Episode 322: The Hunt for the Golden Chocobo

  On this week's show, we're looking at our favorite cards from the upcoming Final Fantasy set, and ask the question: can 15 JRPG games produce enough inspiration for 1 Magic set? We chat about Cloud and his Buster Sword, Tifa and her powerful fists, Sephiroth and his powerful wings, plus Astrologian's Planisphere, Cecil Dark Knight, and the most beloved Final Fantasy character of all... Dark Confidant.

• Episode 321: Pioneer Comes to Arena! Mostly!

  This week we take a little break from Modern and dip our toes back into Pioneer, thanks to its official premier on Arena. The team discusses our impressions of Pioneer right now, our impressions of Arena right now, and, finally — you guessed it — our impressions of Pioneer on Arena right now. Dave uses his artist's talent to bring back the birbs. D00mwake finds some affinity for artifacts in Pio and Modern. Stan capably moderates a spicy discussion while remaining a healthy distance from any gem-based economies. • Camping Out • Checking Back in on Pioneer • A Little Modern Affinity as a Treat Become a citizen of The Dive Down Nation!: http://www.patreon.com/thedivedown Show the world that you're a proud citizen of The Dive Down Nation with some merch from the store: https://www.thedivedown.com/store Upgrade your gameplay and your gameday with Heavy Play accessories.
