October 22 Set Phasers to Hype: Star Trek x MTG - A First Look!
Warp 9.9, engage! (Not warp 10. Nobody wants to turn into a lizard.) Maria, Megan, and Tyler beam straight into the MTG x Star Trek crossover, from hand-signed chase cards and Klingon rules text to the four Commander decks headlined by Picard, Spock, Worf, and a seven-mana Borg Queen. PLUS: Spot the cat is SO cute, Tribbles that are definitely not going to be a problem, and a Q card that might be as annoying (and charming?) as the real deal.

October 15 God Packs, Marvel Gets Witchy & Brawl Bans
A lot went down in Magic Town this week, and we’re catching you up. We dig into the latest banned and restricted announcement (Competitive Brawl gets new commander bans, and Standard is apparently thriving, Meghan’s lifegain deck can confirm), get our first look at Darkhold Destiny, Marvel’s spooky new Universes Beyond set, and break down the big booster pack shake-up, including 1-in-1000 “God packs." We also send our congratulations to the Wizards of the Coast employees who are unionizing!

October 08 It's Jace's World, We're Just Drafting In It
Reality Fracture is here, and after getting our hands dirty in the Draft queues, we have THOUGHTS! Maria, Meghan, and Tyler dig into the early data to figure out which color pairs are winning, which commons wildly overperformed expectations, which uncommons are basically mythics wearing fake mustaches, and why four toughness might just be the "magic number."
Come dink around with us as we break down one of the slower, more balanced, and delightfully complicated Draft formats we’ve played this year!

October 01 Reality Fracture Bold Predictions
Sanity is in short supply this week as Meghan survives a Nyquil fever dream and Tyler the deep dark depths of the woods! But they brave the wilds of the GLHF studio to rank what Magic means to them, get thrown by a game of Scryfall randomizer ("Hot Frosty" is now an official unit of measurement), and make bold predictions on the best common in each color of Reality Fracture. Plus a prerelease report featuring not one--not two--but three Jaces at once.

September 17 Nobody Puts Baby in the Moon
Alchemy is being put out to pasture on Arena, so we pour one out, dig through Wizards' format data (93% of Standard is Best-of-One?!), and learn some more shocking truths about how people really plat MTG Arena. Then we take a tour through Jace's Echoverse to check in on the mirrored pairs from Reality Fracture! Who's thriving, who's an a-hole, and who got turned into a werewolf. Plus: one very load-bearing pair of moist frog thighs.

Reality is fracturing and Jace is the problem!! Classic.

Let's look at the big picture of Magic, courtesy of Head Designer Mark Rosewater! Meghan and Tyler dig into his two-part "Big-Picture Questions" mailbag, taking the temperature of where Magic design is headed, what's behind some of its biggest decisions, and the burning questions players have been asking for years. PLUS: a detour into the question: what makes a chess Grand Master: nature or nurture?
