Everyday Eternal Podcast

What the Dauphiné Libéré is to the Tour de France, the Anzid Eternal Showdown is to Eternal Weekend now, I guess? Either way, Magic Online recently hosted the preparation event for the upcoming big Legacy tournaments across the globe, and we’re here to review the results. 

Kai also reports back from his boot camp piloting the most difficult deck in the format, and whether he’s ready to rock it in Prague next month.

Oh, and someone’s getting married. Can you guess who?

Another giant Legacy event in the books, and of course Kai used to go to kindergarten with the winner, or something. We’ve given up on finding any halfway decent Legacy player in Japan whom Kai isn’t associated with in one way or another. I’m genuinely not sure whether this is a running gag or actually true – but we’re all here for it either way.

Get a great look back at what went down in the biggest Legacy tournament in the world this year thus far – and find out which “hardest deck in the format” Kai is gonna rock at EW Europe, and why literally nobody in the Discord was able to guess it. Spoiler: previous generations of gamers actually went to prison for this, so Kai could finally be free.

“As you SEO plugin, I advise you to find a different title for today’s episode.”

Where do you even start with today’s episode? I guess it’s one of those that remind me of why we don’t release show notes publicly: we got as far as the second bullet point today – and even that’s being generous.

Almost 400 people gathered in Italy for Europe’s largest Legacy tournament series, the 4Seasons in Bologna. Even more importantly, this iteration also featured the finals of the European Legacy Masters. Following 5k+ players grinding it out all across the continent for an entire season, 110 qualified players gathered in the Emilia-Romagna capital to crown their champion. Kai was on the ground to witness it all and do commentary, while also casually Top8’ing the Team event playing Vintage. What’s not to love?

ALSO: BIG News, as ELM IV will *not* be held in Italy in 2025!

As the crew finds out that Kai has been living under a rock, both he and Callum completely shock Julian with revelations about things neither of them has ever done. Callum also announces which type of tournament Wizards of the Coast will surely kill next year, and why it’s probably for the better – unless they find a different way to run it.

In the second half of the show, we look into specifically two cards that are tearing up the format right now, and find out why Kai has to paint a City’s Blessing token as soon as possible!

Callum is back from his extended hideout in Italy, while Kai just celebrated the opening of the Sawatarix World Domination Tour OF DOOM. As part of the tour’s first stop at Gone Legacy in Lyon, Kai’s travelling circus allowed you to play with Chaos Orb in Legacy. Tune in to find out how that worked out, and learn about a couple new exciting decks that put up some very noteworthy results – promise it’s not just that stupid Eldrazi deck that keeps murdering Julian on turn 3!

Following a widely-celebrated cocaine scandal, Callum steps down from London Legacy Monthly to move away; according to The Sun. We hit you with the real news – and why he’s currently hiding out in a rather unnamed Italian town.

Scheming from his villa, Callum has set up the ultimate MH3 impact tier list of all the new cards coming into the format. However, Kai comes in last-minute with an entirely unranked card and why he thinks it’s a real thing.

In a shocking twist of events, the boys discover a stunning correlation between the most played deck in the most recent Legacy Showcase Challenge, and the highest winrate in the format. Skip the first 25 minutes in case you already know, as we decipher the arcane scrolls of wisdom. 

In the second half of the show, we get ready for the annual Modern Horizons shakeup, reviewing a bunch of good, bad  or, as Callum puts it, an utterly unplayable card Julian brought to class. Turns out one of those cards is looking MUCH better than the Twitterverse has given it credit for thus far, and Callum expects it to become a 4-of staple in the most played deck.

Also, Julian listens to a podcast with sharktooth-necklace-wearing hosts…or so he thought.
