Great show, as usual! The number of powerful and interesting cards in Modern Horizons is staggering.
One small note: In the introduction to Hogaak, Kevin correctly states the casting cost of 5 B/G B/G, but then when he's evaluating the card he incorrectly identifies that you need creatures that are "....either black or red."
This errors leads you to the response that it's difficult to cast in Survival builds, because of the restrictive red requirement.
However, because it's black or green, I think the cards is much better in Survival than was evaluated in the podcast.

You’re right, Hogaak is excellent in Survival. So is Bazaar Trademage. -
I just googled him. Looks INSANE. I'm pretty sure the best survival list runs 4 of those. 3/4 with flying and a free bazaar activation is the deal.

4 is too many. You have to play all the moxen and/or lots of ESG to make it reliable early but then you’re making your hand really small. 2-3 seems to be the sweet spot for me.
