After Hasbro held their Q4 and Full Year Earnings call, we dove through their slide deck and a number of writeups from people that are well versed in decoding and reading through these kinds of announcements to pull out some interesting morsels.

Join us as we discuss everything from debt paydown to stock buybacks, Peppa Pig to Beyblade, and how things are looking over Hasbro.

This week we "put our money where out mouths are" and dive into the prices, demand drivers, and price drivers of the last six Standard sets in an effort to see if it's 60 card formats that are driving singles prices, or is it Commander?

We want to reliably and rationally, with reproduceable steps say, what is driving the financial viability of Standard products.Picks of the week: https://goo.gl/2hHEfdFind us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/MTGCabalCastiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mtg-cabal-cast/id1439847289?mt=2Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/78wBQ3FZyg3dTquca3dxNZStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/mtg-cabal-cast

Lorwyn Eclipsed, the 108th Magic the Gathering expansion is on the horizon, which means it's time to review our "hype" assessments for Avatar: the Last Airbender.

How accurate were we?

Were we off base or was it the children who were?

As we head into 2026, with a fresh set of bans and a brand new set on the horizon, we take stock of the things in and around Magic that we are excited for. As players, vendors, store owners, and employees, what aspects of Magic have us smiling with anticipation?

Could it be seven sets in a year? Fan favorite IPs skinned as Universes Beyond? Maybe just renewed faith that WotC is paying attention to, and curating with speed and accuracy, their constructed formats.

Tune in as we discuss what we are most excited for in 2026.

This week we cast a critical eye back at Magic across all of 2025; examining each competitive format as well as LGS issues we saw. Across the past 12 months, what was the state of the game? The state of each format? How well did WotC treat players and the LGS ecosytem?

As we pull apart each of these issues, we grade them and then grade Magic the Gathering for 2025. How well do you think Magic did in 2025? Let us know!

It's 2025 and we're back with our yearly tradition of discussing what we would do if we ran Hasbro.

This year we're discussing the now years long trend of Wizards and "Digital" carrying revenue with other categories continuing hemorrhaging money

.And also how we'd work with the LGS in the year to come!

So buckle up and enjoy some fun back and forth about how we, two dudes yelling over the internet, would change Hasbro.

As we head into Avatar the Last Airbender to round out 2025 and then see a slate of primarily Universes Beyond based sets in 2026, we wanted to discuss what we seeing and hearing at the LGS level. How are players handling the announcement and how do they feel?

Is the Universes Beyond experiment being lauded or panned? Are we seeing the growth WotC espoused or have things stagnated and why? This week we breakdown the hype around Universes Beyond.
