MtG Finances 

Magic is an expensive hobby.

• Pre-ordering and the risk therein
• Losses when we’ve taken a “leap”
• Surprisingly expensive cards throughout our history (glimpse the unthinkable, etc.)
• Pioneer-nowhere to go but up
• Modern price fluctuations
• Standard-should there be a limit to price?
• Crazy card prices
• Biggest hits from speculation

Fancast

• The Wanderer - Blake Lively (Oney); Tara Strong (James); Carrie Ann Moss-jerm

Good Luck, I Hope You Lose!

This week we take a closer look at the decks that we have been playing for the past month. We take a deep dive into Azorius Control and Bant Bogles in Standard; discussing deck construction, sideboarding, bad match-ups and good. Then we move on to discuss Power Moves, a little bit a jokey concept to bring a little flare and ridiculousness to your game, even if it's just to yourself.
