MTG Grindcast

This week! We're going a little off the beaten path and bringing you a Topic. Are you tired of your opponent countering all your spells, killing all your creatures, and reloading with some bonkers blue planeswalker? This week we're talking all about how to beat control. Sniffing out countermagic, taxing their mana, diversifying your threats, we've got a little of everything control mages hate.

A week after one of the biggest ban announcements in magic history, and we're examining the wreckage left behind. Is Sultai midrange really unbeatable? I mean, realllly? Plus how the clock has been turned back on Pioneer, and we finally define what it means to have fun.

In one of the biggest (and most surprising) ban announcements since Mirrodin, Standard, Historic, and Pioneer have all been turned on their heads. Is Uro going to loom over each of those formats? Uh, yes. The answer is yes. But there's other stuff that we talk about too!

This week we're breaking down where Modern has gone post-Astrolabe ban, including the 5(!!) different colors of prowess decks that showed up in the Manatraders tournament. Plus we complain about standard and give our takes on Historic!

Astrolabe took a ban, and now Modern is wide open. Well, wide open-er. We've got goblins and titans and sprite dragons all making a bid for the top of the heap, and Lee and CCR are looking at their favorites.

It's a new era! Lee's first episode as a host of the podcast, and we're talking about bans, cards that weren't banned, formats that Wizards has abandoned, and the big Organized Play announcement.

It's kind of hard to believe, but this is Collins's last episode! We're talking about future plans, the work we've done and, because we don't want to get away from our roots, we're talking about Magic too.

Collins, it's been awesome. You will be missed.

For the first time ever, CCR and Collins are digging into the Historic format. With the Lotus Box Invitational coming up we've got to have at least some idea of what the format's about, so we dig into some lists and prepare to get some matches in. Is the format Nexus v Gruul, or can we pull out some nuance?

M21 is here, and Chris and Collins are taking a look! How much will a set full of Baneslayers impact a meta full of Elspeth Conquers Death? Let's find out!

We're in a gap week: two PTs last weekend, two PTs this weekend. What can we learn in the meantime? Well, Temur Rec is pretty good. Pretty really good. Is there any way to keep up?
