I will be most interested to here your opinions on the return to pre-6th combat. Do you think the new simpler algorithm and new flavor of “attacker fights each blocker, in order, to the death” is worth the removal of stacked damage tricks and the ability to split damage (along with flavor of “attacker fighting all blockers simultaneously”)?

Its funny how these podcasts feel immediately dated even though they are new just because they were recorded before the new rules changes. I am looking forward to hearing you guys discuss those.

Also with the jund deck, if you are cutting gift perhaps another remove spell is needed, it will be much harder to find a shriekmaw under pressure now. And usually when you need a shirekmaw, you really need a shriekmaw.
