Kayiu gives Tim and Markus a tour of the MSE Modern format through a guessing game! MSEM is the largest custom format, encompassing ~60 sets. Kayiu brought a dozen cards and our game is to predict whether those cards matter in competitive play.

There are a bunch of wild cards this episode! Can you guess better than T&M? We've got woopip, bros, wubrg, flows, choices, pose(y), hundred card decks, all hands on deck, thinking twice, polyp pools, and orange orchards. Good luck!

The Agonos cube aspires to bring a better Vintage cube experience. It's a blast to draft, and we had to get creator ThatDamnPipsqueak on to learn how to build Vintage-level drafting.

Juliet and Kayiu have seen exciting sets under the auspices of Old, New, and Borrowed, so today they check out Something Blue with the Deep Blue Cube by Timespiraled! While there they discuss the fundamental nature of color, rarity, and draft archetypes, and debate how good Delusions of Mediocrity can be in a world of Storm Crows and Welkin Terns.

As our Lorado episode this week was wrapping up, shadowcentaur kept reading the spoiler and having great memories of making the set. Not quite enough for a whole extra episode, but fun to hear.

Not all the card text is covered so you may want to have the set spoiler available for reference:
