Show Notes

On this episode of Full Warning, we feature our EXCLUSIVE podcast interview with 2025 NA Legacy Champion Tom Basketball (better known to us as Bryan Hockey). Wielding an ultra-powerful colorless deck that wins via insurmountable taxing effects alongside disruptive permanents and a combo-like finisher in the form of Glaring Fleshraker, Bryan was able navigate a massive field over 15 swiss rounds and an epic Top 8, to emerge as the 2025 Champion.

Beating several former Champions along the way, we talk through Bryan's journey, not just at Eternal Weekend 2025, but back to his roots; when did Tom Basketball start turning cardboard sideways?

From magic-league.com to Romancing the Stones, Bryan's journey mirror's many of our own--Except he knew Swords to Plowshares was good (he IS a Legacy player, after all).

This episode also features the premiere of my "Movie Magic" game. Tom Basketball knows Legacy, but does he know his movies? We pit him against the B.C. Druid in a game I've been working on for a while but just didn't really have together until now. It's actually still coming together, but I hope you enjoy it and I welcome your feedback for future tuning! I look forward to hosting this game again, so I can clarify the rules and host it correctly. I have lots of clues in the can already.

Our outro is my Eternal Weekend 2025 Hype Track, Babality-MixtapeEdit. I grabbed the base beat off of LNPlusmusic because of the very nice cuts on the track; I love a good turntablist routine. I really wanted to create a "Hip-Hop song with MtG elements", not a "MtG Hip-Hop Song Parody". I think I was pretty close to the mark. The vocals are rough bc I don't know how to fix them really; look out for some "real" songs from the two of us (B.C. Druid is the real musician) in 2026.

Thanks for listening! 100K Baby!
