You are an elk

This week the guys get a little focus on elk.  Well, mainly the elk maker, Oko.  Before we get too deep in our nature documentary, we discuss the recent Pioneer bans.  We talk about why they happened and what this might mean for the format going forward.  Then we start our standard discussion with a heavy focus on Oko.  We set the scene with where the format is and talk about game play.  Then James talks about why these things have made it hard for him to pick a deck for GP Richmond.  If Oko is everywhere, maybe it is possible to exploit the format?  We discuss the two decks that have been talk about as ways to take back the standard throne.  We end the standard talk with a how we think the GP and MC meta games will look.  Finally, we talk about the Arena format for the week Artisan and drift back toward Oko since he was a dominate Brawl commander.
