Episode 193: Creativity Can’t Be Stopped feat. Zach Ryl

The Dive Down October 6, 2022 Modern, Podcast

About this Episode

Today is the story of a deck that has been floating around for a long time in Modern, a deck that we won’t let Dave forget about, a deck that inspired us to invite our old pal Zach “Manacymbal” Ryl… that’s right, it’s time for a Indomitable Creativity deck dive.

We chat about some of the different versions of the deck floating around, including the 5 color version with Leyline Binding and Grixis, sideboard strategies, tips and tricks with individual cards, and more.
