Good Luck High Five

Engage! Maria and Tyler are fresh off the plane from the Star Trek premiere bash in LA, where Quark mixed the drinks, Harry Kim regaled us with stories of cons past, and Data himself sang “Maria” to Maria. (She’s fine. She’s not fine!! Eeeee!) Judge Erick joins in to chat about his prerelease with green-white aggro that ran over Borg cubes and five-color Landfall. We also preview a World Championship on release weekend, celebrate the Hall of Fame coming back, and learn way too much about what a craw is.

Meghan’s off at Desert Bus and Maria and Tyler are on their own in a definitely haunted studio. Will they survive to the end of the episode?! While they wait to get abducted by an apparition, they take a tour of the new Star Trek x MTG mechanics!

PLUS: It’s a standard check-in after Arena Championship 13 and the Hartford Spotlight Series, including the Boros Dwarves (or should we say Boggles) deck that came out of nowhere. Listen closely, because the haunting is in there somewhere.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Get ready to get fractured! Judge Rob joins Maria and Tyler to walk you through the trickiest cards, rules, and interactions in Reality Fracture before your prerelease this weekend. We cover the return of Prepare, what's going on with all those Jace planeswalker tokens, negative power on creatures, and a whole lot of totally unnecessary eyeballs. Plus: a surprise contender for cutest card in the set!

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.
