This week, I’m taking a look at the mechanics of Throne of Eldraine, before turning an eye to our main topic of the week. When is it correct to go against the grain? What kinds of advantages do we get from taking established pillars and changing them? Let’s take a look at the kinds of things we can accomplish by Killing Our Darlings.

Rather than talk about the Banned and Restricted Update in complete detail and speculate on specifically Modern, I thought it would be more useful to take a look at the ripple effects typically created by a banning in a format. Whether it’s Standard, Modern, Legacy, or even Pauper, there’s always a bit of a life cycle to the format when it’s shaken up by a big change in the banned list. What’s good now? What’s going to be good later? Let’s dive in on the Homeward Path!

In a triumphant return to the mobile studio (read: car), we’re breaking down combo decks. These decks get a lot of extreme opinions, but what makes them tick? How well do they bleed into other concepts? What does it take to make them successful? Let’s talk about it, on a long ride home from Nashville!

This week, I’m taking a quick look at the Organized Play announcement, before turning attention to a topic that is, to me at least, crucial to the survival of Magic at large: Introducing the more casual players in your life to the more competitive side of things. I’ve been doing this very thing with a coworker, and the results have been encouraging!

This week, we tackle a debate that I honestly can’t believe is still raging. No matter where you fall on the netdecking debate, this episode is a realistic, self-reflective dive into one of the more divisive social topics in Magic, so buckle up!

This week, we take a very brief look at Mythic Championship Barcelona (or MC Hogaak) before diving into some of the more hyperbolic statements on the web regarding the most polarizing of Magic archetypes. What really goes into the decision to build and play a control deck? Let’s take a look!

This week, I’m looking at some of the core tenants of competitive Magic, and exploring the multiple ways we can accomplish each one. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, but we’re more worried about ways to gain advantages in Magic! There’s a fair amount of history, and a lot of examples, so I hope you enjoy!

This week, we’re looking at two very pleasant surprises that came up between last week and now, before doing a brief history of the effectiveness and perception of Midrange decks in my time playing Magic. It’s a cautionary tale, about trusting instincts, and not getting too set in your ways. Let’s go!

Diving further into the tournament report on YouTube, we’re looking at just how important it is to figure out a plan, and stick to it. It’s not just important in gameplay, deck choices, sideboarding, etc, but even in card acquisition or planning out your budget for a year of Magic. Let’s dive in!

Taking a step back and looking at some fundamentals this week, we’re talking about a class of card that can trip you up if you let it. (see what I did there?) Cantrips are a vital resource, especially for those playing on a budget, so I thought it valuable to look at what makes the good ones so good!
