The MNM crew is back with plenty of...Twitter links? Apparently we're getting all our information from Twitter these days. We've got more Secret Lairs and WotC shifting things around because of the coronavirus outbreak in China. Bryan Gottlieb discovers an unsettling trend of Target carrying Collector Boosters that are actually just normal Draft Boosters. Keep an eye out if you're shopping at the big-box stores! ManaStrike is out too, let us know how you like that if you give it a shot!

Okay, now for the real talk. It would appear, based on information from Frank Karsten, that Wizards of the Coast has disallowed detailed metagame analysis for Frand Prix. Your hosts go into some detail about what's going on here, some potential reasons, and what it could mean. We'll also discuss who this could be good (and bad) for, whether it's the pros, the grinders, or WotC themselves. It was a good talk.

Then we dive into the Pioneer tournaments that happened this weekend in Phoenix and all the tourneys going on at the SCG event in Philadelphia. Then, at the very end, Cluze almost falls out of his chair laughing. There, now you have something to look forward to!
