MTG Grindcast

There's not a ton of magic going on right now, and with preview season still on the horizon we figured we'd do an end-of-year wrap up! All our favorites and least favorites of the year, from MTG stuff (eh) to Hades (woo!) Come hang out and ring in the new year!

Zach stopped by this week to give us the skinny on modern, including but not limited to how good running 8 crabs in your deck is. Plus we talk about his upcoming draft challenge, where he'll be racing against hall of famers and other magic luminaries to collect the most vintage cube trophies. Don't miss this one!

Well folks, we're never beating this one. From the Zendikar Rising Championship to pooping softballs, this episode has a little bit for everyone. Or, you know, the two main categories of people: Magic players and weirdos.

Is it a Pro Tour? Is it...something else? Who knows! But it's two formats and a bunch of good players, so we're taking a look at the standard and historic lists we've managed to pull off of twitter so far. Let's find out if Dimir Control is better than Rogues, if Gruul is truly dead, and whether the Troll King is going to rule standard this weekend!

...ok so we don't actually have the answer to that question. But we are breaking down the format, the best decks, and our concerns with it now and going forward. Plus! A bit of legacy, the fairest format in the land, after this weekend's Manatraders tournament.

Kaladesh Remastered is here! We've been jamming artifact decks and Bomat Couriers in historic and are reporting back with our findings. Spoiler: Bomat Courier is really, really good. Plus we add our voices to the teetering pile of MOCS discussion!

We're checking on on Magic's Oko-est format in preparation for the Manatraders Legacy series this month!

Let's check in on everyone's favorite format that we barely get to play anymore! With various titans and four-armed elementals around it's become a format of heavy hitters, but there's still some play to it. We also take a look at Kaladesh remastered and speculate on how some old favorites will impact historic.

Unbelievable, we're like two weeks in and standard has more than one deck! In this celebratory episode we're going over the individual card choices you can make to customize the top decks in the meta depending on what you expect to play against. And we talk about video games!

Standard has become a race to be the biggest, grindiest deck possible--but watch out for rogues and those pesky aggro decks who like nothing better than punishing people for playing seven mana spells. The format's changing every half hour or so, but we go over strategic evaluations and matchup breakdowns to help give you the tools you need on any given day!
