Collins, Lee, and Jeremy top 8'd SCG Richmond, so we had to get the whole team to sit down for some quality time. Come hang out for a sweet episode jam packed full of standard, modern, legacy, and tournament stories galore!
Holy crap, is this a legacy episode? We've both been grinding away at magic's most expensive competitive format and have come away with some surprising answers. Come hang out as we delve into this one!
Every once in a while our Patreon questions start to pile up, and rather than letting such a valuable resource go to waste we save them up for a quiet week with no major tournaments on the horizon. And that's this week! We're diving deep into some overarching questions of Magic strategy, giving our takes on breaking metas, building decks, and how best to improve your game for the long term. Come hang out!
Well, here we are. Again. The most heavily played card at MC Barcelona? Leyline of the Void, and it wasn't particularly close. This week we're talking about how to deal with our new (old) graveyard overlord, what the modern hellscape will look like for the next few weeks, and the best way to exploit Hogaak to get an edge in legacy. Come hang out!
We had quite a weekend at SCG Philly! We got lost in a mall, and then CCR got lost playing Urza to an almost-top-8 at the classic. Collins DID top 8 the standard classic but who really cares about that? Let's talk some mox opals, some ichor wellsprings, and ok maybe a little standard and modern.
With SCG Worcester finished up, we have at least an idea of what the standard meta is looking like. With Risen Reefs and Nexuses of Fate galore, this is a powerful format. You need to be doing something powerful to keep up... maybe seven power?
It's here! We made it through 3.5 hours of set review to bring you only the best of "I don't think this can keep up with what the elementals deck is doing" over and over again. Ok, maybe slightly more interesting than that. Come see what we think of M20!
Holy hell, Jeremy won an open! He comes and hangs out with Chris and Collins as we talk about Hogaak, modern bans, and even a bit of theology. Don't miss this one!
Holy crap, we finally made it! 100 episodes in and still going strong. This week we're talking about new patreon rewards, Hogaak's impact on modern, and three mana 7/6's. Come hang out!
Just in time for M20 spoilers, we're finally going over Modern Horizons! Lee comes and hangs out with Chris and Collins to go over their top 8 picks from the new set. Thrill at our car-by-card analyses, most of which include the phrase "once they ban something from Hogaak..." Exciting times!
Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.
