How better to celebrate our 21st than with some spirits - Blue/White Modern spirits that is! Todd goes over how the deck went for him and where it's going. We also talk about the Pro Tour Hall of Fame and what that should mean. Then back to spirits of the beverage kind, with Modern deck drinks. We also would like to announce the creation of the Ponder Patreon! If you would like to support the show and receive some special perks, please check out www.patreon.com/ponder.
