Matt is back and Legacy got a ban announcement! It must be our birthday! WOTC came in and gave us similar to minimum bans we have been begging for to help steer legacy toward a healthy format. That being said the legacy challenge results are completely useless so Matt and Jake give their thoughts on the ban announcement. The guys wrap up with a quick modern super qualifier that was stuffed full of Creativity lists.

Matt is away and Jake can barely talk, but magic must be discussed. Legacy has some pretty cool decks in the top 8 but the meta breakdown isnt anything to write home about. Modern looked pretty standard. There are a few Phyrexia cards breaking into the meta but not much. The biggest deal is definitely the Atraxa, and she is making things happen.

Tired, so tired. Legacy looks laughable. Modern looks normal. So tired.

Legacy takes a week off from being garbage and modern looks pretty good. Once again a quick episode turns into 2 hours but the boys had a great time talking about some of the new cards that broke into legacy this week.

Matt and Jake made it back to the same room to look at the legacy challenge. It looks ok but that's with the grain of salt that it is half combo. The overall meta is still pretty dominated by delver and initiative so we will see if anything changes in the coming weeks. Jake runs through a modern challenge and totally misses the super qualifier proving again that it's amateur hour.

The boys are back after an unexpected hiatus. Adult life keeps throwing things our way but this week it didn't throw any huge curveballs in the legacy and modern metas. Legacy is a full 50% delver/initiative and the top 8 is like 5 combo decks. Modern had a pretty well spread meta for its challenge and it is quickly becoming some of the favorite Jake plays.

We have arrived at episode 69! Perhaps the greatest milestone for any podcast! It seems fitting that legacy may be in its worst state ever with disgusting top 8s week to week. It seems we have found the 2 decks that are too good and we just rotate between them. Nothing in modern we haven't seen but we still have some good data from the challenge.

So Initiative in legacy might really be a problem. Over the weekend it put some numbers that give delver a run for its money on its worst week and claimed 5 of the 8 spots. Will WOTC ban something? How many initiative cards need to be banned? Will they ban cards from delver too or literally just king make for delver? WHO KNOWS! Rakdos scam is still bringing down modern challenges even though murktide holds the top spot of meta share. We are sorry it’s late this week but at least it's a little longer than usual.

It’s a new year and at the time of recording there were no results posted for any noteworthy tournaments so we open the new year with some discussion on what we hope to see in legacy and modern. Matt and Jake get super waylaid talking about mind twist…again. They wrap up the episode by talking about the Elesh Norn spoiler that twitter went insane over.

Matt and Jake are here to wrap up 2022 with a doozy of an episode! Eternal weekend took quite a while to cover, but that's normal when there is a huge tournament like the once a year event of eternal weekend. The boys def don't skip over modern either, since it does look to be in a good place still… if you don't mind it being MH2 tribal. Lastly there is a final fun force the issue - what cards could legacy gift to modern in the holiday spirit. Thanks to everyone for coming along with us and we will start podcasting again in January. See you all next year!
