Everyday Eternal Podcast

Kai is finally back from Japan. Did he win the God of Legacy event? No. Does he share his three golden rules about how to make your trip to the land of the rising sun the most enjoyable it could be? Allegedly. Listener caution advised. All we know is that ChatGPT will most certainly do a better job judging your next event than Kai did in his first (and last) appearance as a judge. Catch Me If You Can: Tokyo Drift.

In the second half of the show we cover Julian’s victory in the Et Cetera Invitational and listen to Callum making the case for… (editor’s note: guys, it says “Scrapwork Mutt” here, can you please fit th…wait WHAT?!)

For the first time ever we assemble all three gladiators in the same place, to record our first-ever in-person episode! Kai, Callum, and Julian sat down in their hotel room at 4Seasons Bologna to record a preview of their Team Trios Tournament, the European Legacy Masters, as well as the 480-player Legacy main event!

We also come together right after the event to record our look back at it, and celebrate Kai’s Top8 in the ELM, and Callum’s Top16 in the main event – and Julian learns some secrets about Modern!

Julian jumps from a ship and swims ashore to eat the famous island grass. Is this the first Legacy podcast recorded in Africa? Julian calls in from Kenya, while Callum steals someone else’s WiFi to tune in on the day he moved into a new apartment. This leaves this episode with KAI as the most professional member of the cast. Enter at your own risk.

I’m editing this episode during a 16-hour stint at home, right after returning from Kenya, and before leaving for Bologna tomorrow at 6am. If this is your first time experiencing the Everday Eternal: you picked the worst episode – or maybe, just maybe: the very best.

Callum & Julian invite a short-notice guest to the cast, as Berlin keeps taking its toll on Kai. Joined by last month’s AXION MEGA Legacy Winner Andy Fernandes, we deconstruct the hottest new deck in town, Naya Stompy, as well as his actual favourite deck, RG Valakut.

In the second half of the show, we go over Callum’s insane run in both Challenges, going 13-0 across both Swiss. Of course, he immediately loses to UR Delver in the Quarters. Come on Callum, get your shit together!

With a foreword about Jordan Aisaka

The previous weekend, England’s Axion Now hosted one of the big non-GP tournaments the UK has ever seen: The Gathering offered the two so-called MEGA LEGACY events, each attracting 100+ players. Everyday Eternal was represented by our professional painter pilot Callum, who managed to navigate his way to two Top16 finishes with Painter. Both Legacy Top8s of the weekend featured some super interesting decks: one a huge blast from the Wilson-Hunter-past of the format and a way to stomp people with Courser of Cruphix – while the other saw the breakout of NAYA STOMPY. Listen to Julian grow from immediately wanting to replace one of the cards in it, to actually ordering a playset before the end of the episode.

Oh, and Sticker Goblins makes its first premier-ish level Top8. And Doomsday for 4 Triumph of Saint Katherine gets cast.

In the second half of the cast, we also go over the surprisingly short-notice announcement of the 2022 Eternal Weekends, our team composition for the upcoming 4Seasons championship, and answer your listener questions.

We called them ‘chase’ cards and we knew their single purpose was to squeeze even more money out of obsessed players. Even back then we understood 100% that it was in effect taking advantage of people with certain mental disorders and that it was the wrong thing to do.

We knew that many players would see it for what it was, a sign of a total loss of respect for our players all for a pathetic short-term gain. Those cards would have been aimed squarely at benefiting shareholders, not to benefit the players. It would have been disgusting. That is why we never did it, though it was discussed.”

In an impromptu attempt at amateur science, the crew looks into the effect of pouring a bottle of wine over your keyboard. The results will SHOCK you, as one of us soon gets relegated to a literal casting couch for the rest of the podcast. Oh, and there’s Max Gilmore too, who actually CRUSHED the quarterly Legacy Showcase Challenge on Magic Online with Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. Never since the days of Juzám Djinn has a black four-drop creature ruled the tables again, so we’re all excited to find out more about it. Oh, and Max happily calls Anuraag Das’ bet.

Further down the cast, Kai and Max start arguing over the implied equity of making a second “backup” child, and why you should never ask someone out for a date twice…or should you?

It’s a full house today, as the entire crew is joined by famed sky noodle expert John Ryan ‘xJCloud’ Hamilton. xJ recently relocated his desires into the realms of Dragon Stompy, and used his dark powers to once again almost take down a Legacy SuperPTQ. Nevertheless, his 2nd place finish was good enough to qualify him for the Pro Tour (or whatever the cool kids call it these days).

We invited xJ to give us his take on how to build the deck, what the common pitfalls in deck construction are – and answer a whole bunch of questions from our Discord & Twitter. We also showcase a couple of interesting lists from the SuperPTQ, and mock Kai for losing Flying.

We planned this episode as a mailbag one, but then SOMEONE had to go and win the Legacy Challenge with Painter and mess up our plans. Typical Callum move, shameful. Tune in to find out everything about Callum’s victory, and listen to us answering all kinds of questions, such as: will the Legacy Premier League return? What happened to the other 22 Julians? And which one of us is actually the best player?
