Dominaria's Judgment

After a whirlwind, whistlestop tour of Thunder Junction and Big Score (featuring Bloomburrow and obliquely Modern Horizons 3 but absolutely NOT Assassin's Creed - yet) we are just about caught up on spoiler season and soon you can be too!

When I see new cards, I think "yes". We manage to extend this thought for two hours, after a quick look at the Organized Play announcement and rant about the bizarrely concealed Arena Championships coming soon (?) to a Twitch channel (?) near you.

This Monday's B&R update took a big swing at some weird aliens while ignoring the elephant in the room. We're back for some characteristically peaceful statements about the bans we did and didn't see and where Modern and Pioneer stand as they come back into the spotlight.

Your hosts and many friends of the show spent a long weekend in Chicago winning and losing (and drawing... repeatedly...) with a lot on the line. Dom is finally back in Canada and on the air with war stories and hot takes before the axe understandably falls - a Pro Tour, a Standard not-a-GP, a MagicCon, and all the ear-splitting hooting and hollering around them.

cftsoc's truly splendid reclamation 

 
The semi-regular Pro Tour predictions episode with Jarvis Yu returns to stakes some claims about Pioneer, Draft, and even a bit of Standard for the $75k Open at Magic Con Chicago. Join him and Ari as they prove themselves right (or wrong) about a wide spread of topics, even if they refuse to weigh in on the great pizza debate.

Ari has restored his appreciation for Yawgmoth in Modern, and Jarvis Yu steps into the pod to discuss why the deck he is likely playing at the upcoming Regional Championship has gone from a solid combo deck with flaws to one of the undeniable best decks in the format.

Nobody knows what the hell to do with most of the cards in Murders at Karlov Manor so we put our most dogged detectives on the case and let them yap for hours about the bizarre combo decks coming to a Twitch stream near you - plus, a look at the results from the first weekend of Modern RCs and the format's relative stability heading into Denver and Ottawa.

Standard season is full swing (allegedly but also actually?!) and there's somehow less Standard content than ever. We take a look at why that information isn't cascading any more and try to plug that gap ourselves with a tour of everything from Domain to the black midrange decks (in all the colours of the rainbow) and, inevitably, the Overslime itself.

A long and busy year for Magic is over and a new one is already underway so we thought we'd take stock before another wave of discourse overwhelms us all. We take a look at the cards and sets of 2023, the hits and misses, and the return of the Pro Tour (and the elephants holding it up).

Dom and Ari were reunited in paper (...in the flesh? in person?) at Eternal Weekend along with hundreds of thrill-seeking gamers keen to enjoy the Cadillac of Magic. After reeling from his swift 0-3 (which was somehow not the most tragic exit from the tournament) and dabbling in Legacy, Dom found an even more fake format he can win in - does Santa have a Premodern episode in the pipeline?! Ari actually won a lot of matches, as he is wont to do, and gives a former EW Legacy Champion and epternal Legacy boomer's take on its current state. Plus Pioneer is stuck in a loop (or is it?) and the first big Modern not-a-GP post-ban is won by... Scam. Obviously.
