MTG Grindcast

We're talking SCG, Huey's hiring, Kamigawa, and the resurgence of Pioneer as a format. Happy New Year!

It's a set review kind of thing! With VERY LITTLE complaining about Alchemy, we swear. It's mostly just jokes, and we think we're very funny.

Alchemy is here and it's...something. We're giving our takes on Magic's newest, digital-only format and, you know, kind of hoping we're wrong about it. But on the bright side CCR has cool gamer lighting in his office now!

Another fake PT, another format breakdown! Rumors of the demise of Alrund's epiphany seem to have been greatly exaggerated. With standard caught between the extremes of Izzet and Faceless Haven, can anything show up to split the difference? Plus we somehow manage to talk about historic, despite the complete lack of events and decklists. That's just our level of commitment to you.

All the standard tournaments got cancelled because Arena is not a functional piece of software, so that means one thing: time to talk about modern! From Amulet's renaissance to UW control splashing Wren and Six, to the upcoming rise of Blood Moon, we've got all your modern info right here!

We're only a week in, but standard is...pretty good! Epiphany is fading into the margins and we can do weird grindy stuff like generating one vampire token per turn or sacrificing our clerics to pyre of heroes. Is this the standard season that will get Lee to register a BW dual land? Find out here!

After a spookily short preview season we have the full spoiler for Crimson Vow, so you know what that means. Time for some top 5s! We're going over what we like in the set and crossing our fingers that we're not wildly wrong, lest we be held accountable and banned from creating magic the gathering content forevermore.

We're back from Roanoke! For some, this was a wildly successful invitational weekend. For others, this was a wildly successful CubeCon. But we're back with stories to tell and, more importantly, Innistrad Crimson Vow spoilers!

We're back, baby! This episode's out a day early because we're traveling to the SCG Invitational, and we're talking about our deck choices, final sideboard slots, and what we're looking forward to eating over the weekend.

CCR's been hard at work playing every version of Alrund's Epiphany there is, and he's here to share everything he's learned while prepping for the invi. From tips to keep from confusing your galvanic and expressive iterations to the role of Goldspan Dragon, we're going over every inch of this weird standard deck.
