Good Luck High Five

In this episode, it's all about draft deck archetypes! Full block Return to Ravnica draft is pretty different that Gatecrash - and our three hosts are ready to muddy their boots, finding out what you should and shouldn't be building around that draft table. Plus: get your game show on with Flavor Text Theatre Presents: "Guess That Card!," Meghan's Euphemism of the Week is especially euph-tastic, Trampoline becomes a Create-a-Card mechanic, and we find out just how much spambots love our show.

Happy birthday to us! To celebrate MtA's 21st episode, the gang - plus guest hosts Dan and Nels - gather together in a dark basement to drink adult beverages, eat chips, and record this podcast. This episode is all about Magic the Gathering slang. So get on your slang hats, and get ready to learn some terms! Plus: we discuss the morality of MtG battle, invent the mechanic "peek," and...basically everyone gets drunk. So get ready for that. It's also our longest episode ever!

In this episode, Maria, Meghan + Ben deal with one of Magic's trickiest subjects: removal. (And various protections from removal.) What does having hexproof mean? How do you get rid of a pesky indestructible creature? And what does "protection" really protect you from? All these questions AND MORE will be answered! Plus: Cards of the Week, Create-a-Card (with some really great new cards) and Flavor Text Theatre Presents: "Goblin Test Pilot: A Drama." This show is everything you could ever want... plus butterscotch ice cream.
