MTG Grindcast

Dylan stopped by just before he plays for 20 grand this weekend. The formats? Modern and Vintage Cube! We talk with him about prepping for an 8-man invitational and what it's going to be like playing cube for the highest stakes.

Mike Braverman's here! We pick his brain about standard after his recent Bash Bros tournament win and the MIQ weekend, and we chat about what we saw in this weekend's Manatraders modern tournament.

We've been playing some modern, and we're here to share what we've found before the Manatraders modern tournament this weekend. What's the best lava dart deck? What's the best Omnath deck? What's the best, uh, Auriok Champion deck? We don't know! But we'll make some wild guesses.

Well, it took a solid year, but magic's most hated titan has finally been unprinted everywhere (except legacy). He took a bunch of friends with him on his way out, so we're talking about the future of all these formats and what the bans unlock.

Are you sick of cascading into spells that cost less than your cascade card? What if I told you, with one simple trick, you could be cascading into a seven drop and winning games of modern on turn two? You'd say that sounds like it would ruin the modern format. Well. Hmm. Ok, I don't really have a good response to that.

Winter has come, it's been a couple of days, and we've wasted no time! We break down our early takes on what's working and what isn't in standard, and start going deep on five color snow in draft. Bring a jacket!

Look, we tried to have a serious talk about what's going on in vintage magic. It's not our fault that every card reminds us of a story, and that it's literally impossible not to tell a story when you think of it. This was unavoidable.

New stuff! It feels like nothing's been going on in magic for months and months, but now we've got a whole set dumped on us, and you know what that means! We're counting down our top 5s in each color, getting some stuff right, getting a lot of stuff wrong. Exciting stuff!

Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

It's finally preview season! We've waded through the spoilers to bring you only the frostiest and most refreshing of the lot. Here are the old gods of legend, powerful weapons, grand tales, and one big green guy from another plane that makes them all look like little babies.

Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Holy crap, Manatraders is gonna be Vintage this month. We don't know anything about Vintage! But if you thought that was going to stop us from talking about it you obviously don't know us very well.

Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.
