Episode 117: How to Beat Modern Heliod Combo - a podcast by The Dive Down

It's no secret that the Sun-Crowned has been ruling the roost in Modern, so on this week's episode we ask the very important question: how do we beat Heliod Company?! Or is it Heliod Combo? We're also kicking off the episode with a detailed breakdown of the SCG Tour Online's Historic weekend. #SpreadsheetsThe Disclaimer: Dave's Not Here
