While we can't really do anything about the changes that are happening to the GP circuit, we can sure as hell talk about it. What do you think is going to happen?

Jonathon Zaczek is the Champion of Merfolk. He made top 8 at Grand Prix Vancouver, while his followers Przemek Knocinski and Simon Slutsky won GP Copenhagen 2015 and GP Los Angeles 2016 with Merfolk. Merfolk has been scrubbed off as a joke by the top players for years. It is our guest’s mission to prove them wrong, AGAIN.

This week, on a community heavy episode of At Your End Step, the guys rant about the [no] changes to Standard. They also discuss the changes to the GP system in 2018. We also discuss the GPs from this weekend, where some were more interesting than others. Regardless of where Standard is at, we are pumped for Modern Masters 2017, so make sure you get to Comic Town in Columbus for their awesome Modern weekend!

This week Corey and Darrel give their reactions to the lack of changes to the banned and restricted list and discuss whether or not 3 toughness is still the barrier to entry for creatures in the modern format.

The discussion of Josh’s Lovecraftian cube continues as the crew reviews the blue section.

Being one of the main colors for the spider spawning archetype, there are plenty of self mill creatures.

  

Blue is home to two of the most important tribes supported in the horror cube:

Zombies…

  

And Spirits!

  

Besides tribal support, blue bolsters the spells/flashback archetypes, as well as an aggressive mill strategy, that Alec believes might be too strong.

See how deep the madness goes!

Next episode we’ll explore the black section, arguably the most difficult to narrow down and keep on the same power level.

From too narrow to too wide - it's what happens when you change formats.  What did WotC do about it?  What do the TriHards think about it?  Matt & Brian battle to the proverbial death over the state of Modern & Sean weighs taking on a Padawan.  & why did sharing sweaters make the show?  It's St. Patrick's week so you know the 'Hards have beverage suggestions!  Jump in as the TriHards go live on a new platform!

As with episode 20, sorry this is so delayed, I had a bad couple of weeks, one I fell off the wagon for posting VODS and such and the next was spent feverishly trying to catch back up, but just a reminder that we will be going live with episode #22 tonight, around 6 pm mountain time at https://www.twitch.tv/lairoflore For Planeshift Shadowmoor, so please come and join us.

As for the episode,there is not a ton to say. Once again we manage to be done in a pretty reasonable amount of time and cover all the important races of Lorwynn for our purposes.

Quick aside in case you haven't heard or seen any of our previous episodes. we have a semi running series called planeshifts. In these episodes we look at different planes in Magic: The Gathering and try to figure out which sentient races, usually ones capable of receiving a planeswalker spark, would make a good player character race in Dungeons and Dragons. We then do some very rough design work trying to figure out what the racial bonuses will be, and I do mean rough.

Fair warning, we skipped treefolk entirely, because of their long lives and weird view on more traditional mortals, and well their size, we felt they just might not work for a player character in D&D. Basicaly the same story for Giants, just too big and on Lorwynn they do some things angels are responsible for else where, being judges and arbitrators at least partially because of their size and lifespans.

On the other hand we skipped out on Changelings because they are not fully sentient and faeries because we are not sure they can even have a planeswalker spark since Oona sort of creates them from nothing to serve her purposes.
