Brewer's Minute: You're Probably Playing Too Many Shocklands in Modern


One of the upsides of doing Fishbowl Thursday deck techs is that I get to see a ton of sweet brews. Along the way I also get to see some really common deck building mistakes. Today for our Brewer's Minute we're going to talk about one of the most common Modern deck building mistakes I see: playing too many shocklands. How many shocklands are too many in Modern and how many should you play? Let's discuss!

Don't forget, if you haven't already subscribe to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel!
