Magic The Flavouring

The guys run through the small steps you can take to engage with the game of Magic when you can't actually sit down and play it. With almost everyone around the world unable to get a face to face game in right now, how can you keep sane and still connect with MTG?

 Also Ikoria spoilers begin to drop right as recording starts, and Nathan goes on an emotional journey about a specific Otter...

The guys talk through their predictions for Ikoria: Lair Of Behemoths and breakdown some of the hints given out by the Mtg Creative team in regards to its mechanics and creature types. What creature types do Andy and Nathan want to see, how much power can one Aura give and what the heck is a Whale Wolf?

Coming to you from what can only be assumed is some sort of cavernous Hall of Legends on account of all the echos, the guys talk through what qualities make a Legendary Creature in the game of Magic, and what Non-Legendary Creatures they would like to see ascend to glory!

 Also Nathan takes you through a brief history of the 'Legend' supertype, and bare witness to Andy in a particularly glib mood...

The guys run through some of their most flavourful commander decks and talk about the different levels of building with theme and flavour. What is the balance between form and function and what choices can you make when building a deck that still performs but also tells a story?

It's time to settle this once and for all! Is a Naga a Naga or is it a Snake? Well before they can answer that question, the guys have to go through every other humanoid race in Magic and find out where the lines are drawn. Should Leonin stay as cats, should Viashino be Lizards, and can WOTC just make up their minds about Jackals already!?!

Also Nathan takes a pop quiz and Andy pines after a Werewolf commander worth its fur...

What new Planes do the guys want to see as a future setting in a main MTG set and which ones are they sick to death of visiting? Do the main characters matter more than the world they inhabit or is it the Plane itself that gets the Vorthos senses tingling? Let the ranting commence!

Also the guys talk through the Planeschase product and why you should adopt it into your playgroup.

The guys talk about Planeswalkers, both in their role as MTG story's heroes and as some of the games most powerful cards. 

Are Planeswalkers too bound by the needs of each set or would making each one unique break the game? And where are our non-bipedal walkers?!?

The guys dig deep into one of the most hot button issues of recent magic, the handling and delivery of Mtg Story. 

In the past 12 months there have been so many twists and turns that sometimes it is hard to see a larger context and determine what has gone wrong, what has gone right and where. Andy and Nathan will be trying their very best to unravel this tangle, with only moderate amounts of ranting and face palming (maybe, no promises).

Rounding out their cycle of colour pie episodes, the guys talk through Green and its perceived domination of battle cruiser magic. Does a format's popularity effect how a colour is represented in the game and vice versa, and is this thematically justified in the colour's flavour?
Also how many wolf tokens is too many and is there a beast within us all?

The guys breakdown Theros Beyond Death. From Titans to Demigods, this set has a dense lore and only one set to fulfill some high flavour expectations.

What challenges come with returning to a fan favourite Plane? And does Andy have an irrational gripe about the number of creature types in the set (yes, yes he does)? For all that and more join the guys on a trip to the Underworld and back...
