Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

THANK YOU!!!

It's the first week of new Standard, and it might not be solved yet! Also, everyone lost their mind because they won't be able to complain about FNM promos anymore. So that's very sad. Oh, and the Bug Blog has some really funny bits. Other than Chewie fighting with his browser, that's the show this week!

Ash and Cam look at the three main deck Archetypes in Magic. It gets a bit confusing but they get there in the end.

After Ashlyn's learns these important things we open a pack of HOUR OF DEVASTATION. Very cool.

We apologise if there is the sound of cracker eating in this episode, we couldn't help ourselves!

All feedback gratefully received at [email protected]

In our first ever episode, we introduce ourselves and talk about some decks we've been playing and some cards we want to build around.

Sean gets so excited about planar bridge in U-tron, that we forget to mention the deck's main win condition, it's the mindslaver lock by the way.

Doug tries to put Throne of the God-pharaoh in everything, with varying success.

Hour of Devastation is really good. No, not the set. The card.

Hour of Devastation is really good. Prepare to hear that all night.

Shawn and I are back after a short break for vacations and we've got the Hour of Devastation (the set, not the card) Prerelease to cover, our predictions for Week 1 of Standard.

We wrap up the night by talking a bit about GP Denver, we've got a big team going this year and it's time to start testing!

Stay tuned for more next week!
