1h 14m | Mar 1, 2022 - Kamigawa Standard Week 1 Meta Review
It's that glorious time again - the time when Arjuna and CGB wax lyrical about what's working - and what's flaming in the dumpster fire - in Standard. Is GW Enchantments a deck? How about Naya Runes? Is the Kami War a meme? How do they stack up against Standard staples like Izzet, Orhov Tokens, Monowhite or Monogreen? All this and considerably more memes are included in this episode.
