Temur Battle Rage is probably the most important Double Strike card in Standard right now…This week Top Level Podcast brings you “Double Strike” … a double-sized recap of the top decks from Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar!

These and other topics are discussed:

• In some ways, this Standard is the same as the last Standard… but with battle lands :/
• Gideon, Ally of Zendikar is probably the best card from Battle for Zendikar (at least excepting the new lands)
• Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy is probably the best card — and certainly the best creature — in Standard (albeit less ubiquitous than Gideon)
• The pros and cons of playing four copies of Valorous Stance (not to mention only 24 lands) in your Jeskai deck
• When to cast Tasigur, the Golden Fang and for how much mana
• Atarka Red wants more spells for Spell Mastery and discounting Become Immense; but Gruul Landfall exploits cretures like Snapping Gnarlid to avoid Surge of Righteousness (of course both builds Double Strike you to death)
• Esper Control (aka Orzhov Control splashing blue) has a branding problem… But Patrick takes care of that, no problem.

All this and more — colossally more given this is a two-hour podcast — is jammed into “Double Strike”
