  • Quo vadis, Legacy? | EP.48

    On Monday Wizards of the Coast dropped the biggest bomb on Legacy in quite a while: with and leaving the format for good, the format has become as wide open as it’s ever been since at least early 2012! Together with Legacy masters and Bob Huang and today’s guests Jarvis Yu, we explore what the future of Legacy could look like and which decks we would currently love to explore more of in the near future.
    All three of us are really thrilled to jump head-first into the this fresh new format with tons of seemingly viable strategies and decks to put in the hours with. Other than that, we also nerd out a bit about past Legacy GP results as a source of inspiration for what the fturue of Legacy might hold.
    Decks discussed include:

    * Canadian Threshold (“RUG Delver”)
    * GW Maverick
    * Miracles
    * Storm
    * Lands
    * UB / BR Reanimator

    * Grixis Control
    * BUG Landstill
    * Goblins
    * Merfolk
    * Elves

  • Magic in China – And Why It’s About to Become Massive! | EP.47

    Today’s show covers a topic my guest James Hsu and I have been planning to cover for a very long time. Because of James’ upbringing in Vancouver, frequent travels to and interactions with Europe,  and newfound home in Beijing, he’s one of the few players out there with an expert knowledge of many different Magic scenes and cultures. In this episode of Everyday Eternal, he provides some fascinating insight into many aspects of Chinese Magic — and why he expects it to explode in popularity in the near future.
    Table of contents:

    * Cultural Differences between North American, European and Chinese Magic
    * Legacy Tournament Scene in China
    * Chinese Magic Content Creators and relation with “Western” Scene
    * Magic on Chinese Social Media — Bigger than Twitch!
    * Why MTG Arena will be a Game Changer in China
    * The Chinese Secondary Market
    * Discussion of the so-called “Chinese Fakes”

  • GP Seattle Ante Portas feat. Marius Hausmann | EP.46

    On today’s episode, Matt and I welcome another guest host to the podcast: German Legacy phenomenon Marius Hausmann. Many of you might already know Marius following his recent success on the MKM Series, but this guy is a true oldschooler of Legacy. When I started playing competitive Legacy in Munich around 2005/06, he was already around as one (if not the) end boss of our local scene…and soon all of Germany as well. After eventually dropping his beloved Death & Taxes in favor of a deck he swore to never touch, we invited him to today’s cast to discuss his thoughts on the state of Legacy right before the upcoming Grand Prix.

    * GP Seattle coming up on the weekend
    * Why Marius dropped Death & Taxes
    * Grixis Delver, Marius’ unlikely new mistress
    * Czech Pile vs Grixis Delver…3,2,1 FIGHT!
    * Beat Grixis Delver using this one weird trick
    * The Dark Horse — Moon Stompy
    * State of the MKM Series

    Marius Hausmann’s (MariusOfTheMoon on MTGO) Grixis Delver he won the most recent Legacy Challenge with, beating Julian’s Elves in the Quarterfinals. We also tracked down the player Marius mentioned who plays a lot of Energy Field-Rest in Peace on Magic Online. Check out his decklists here: adalid240477

    We’d love to hear your feedback on today’s episode in the comment section or via Twitter. This is only the second episode I have edited myself and I’d be happy to hear any suggestions or advise on how we could improve your enjoyment of Everyday Eternal even further!

  • Winning Eternal Weekend | EP.45

    Bob Huang, Matt Pavlic and Julian Knab sit down with newly crowned ETERNAL WEEKEND 2017 LEGACY CHAMPION, Denmark’s Hans Jacob Goddik to discuss his and Bob’s amazing runs through the tournament, their individual deck choices (BUG & Grixis Delver) as well as the current state of Legacy. Plus: 10 cool things you can do with Siege Rhinos you probably have at home.

    What is Everyday Eternal?

    For those unfamiliar with Everyday Eternal, it is one of the oldest Magic podcasts focussed on competitive Legacy (and we like to claim: sometimes also Vintage.) Together with our hosts Bob Huang, Matt Pavlic, Julian Knab, and their funky guests, we’re bringing you the latest news and technology from the world of Eternal Magic. God, could our iTunes BE any more generic? Can someone please rewrite this? Bob, Matt, anyone?

    Seriously though, rebooting this podcast has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long while now and I’m super happy to today present you the new and improved Everday Eternal! A big THANK YOU goes out to all the people on Patreon who earlier this year met the incentive to regroup and produce this! Your support there really does mean the world to me and I’m thankful for everything you guys & girls have done for me this year!

    iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud & Previous Episodes

    /Edit: We’re on iTunes now!

    We’re working with Eternal Central, where this podcast used to be hosted, to soon reupload all the previous episodes! Some time next week, the current (old) iTunes feed for Everyday Eternal will close and I’ll reopen a new one that you can subscribe to. Same goes for Google Play and Soundcloud, where we will register this Podcast for the first time. Once everything has been set up, I’ll announce everything here. If you liked what you heard, we’d be very thankful if you could leave a review on iTunes, once we’re on it.

    Feedback

    It would be great to receive some feedback on this episode. This was the first time I have edited a podcast and it blew my mind how much time goes into working on it. I can tell that I’m already getting better, so I’m already looking forward to future episodes! Please do let us know what you liked and disliked about this episode, which topics you’d love us to see hear covering in future episodes, as well as what your favourite Siege Rhino combo is. You can leave your feedback in the comments or contact me via Twitter.

    So long,
