With a very shaking B&R update and the release of Aether Revolt around the corner, we have a lot to talk about in this episode:

Which cards to we think will affect modern the most?

What are our favorite AER cards to brew with?

How will the new modern landscape look with the new changes?

When invited to preview Magic cards for new sets, authors must sometimes feel pressure to stoke enthusiasm and demonstrate exaggerated excitement for their subject, especially for flavorful cards that, sadly, have little chance of Top 8ing a Pro Tour or making a splash in tournament play.

Although we would be honored to unveil any new card to Magicdom, we are fortunate that our subject requires no hype whatsoever. We confidently predict that this card will not only become staple in the Eternal format diet, but a broadly playable spell (to almost a comic degree) in the grandest of all formats, Vintage. This is a card that will be played for years, if not decades, to come.

To fully enjoy our preview, we encourage you to play our special episode of So Many Insane Plays, where we carefully unveil and analyze this new masterpiece. But if you can’t wait a few more minutes, scroll down a little bit further, and we will whet your appetite for more…

[insert some blank space and then post the image of the card]

Although aptly named to represent a critical part of the story in Aether Revolt, in Vintage, resolving this creature will inspire more despair and fear than hope. Although most obviously comparable to Xantid Swarm, a creature that, when triggered, prevents the opponent from counterspelling any threat you may subsequently cast, Hope of Ghirapur is so much more powerful than those poor green insects.

Unlike Xantid Swarm, which only “shuts off” the opponent on your turn, this Legendary Thopter prevents your opponent from casting any non-creature spells on their turn as well. When used with recursion such as Auriok Salvagers or Goblin Welder, this may be the closest thing in Vintage to a one-mana Mindslaver or Scepter-Chant lock. The only window of opportunity for the opponent to disrupt it is between your upkeep and combat step. And, when tutored with cards like Trinket Mage, or more creatively, Artificer's Intuition, this is a threat that can be reliably iterated even before it can be recurred.

In this episode, Kevin and I carefully explore the design spaces opened in Vintage by this wondrous little marvel, and identify applications both mainstream and speculative. Welcome to Vintage little thopter. Let the fun begin!

We're back with the Aether Revolt release notes episode, and this time we're joined by judge Amanda Coots, who helps us go over the mechanics and favorite cards from the new set. She also tells us what it's like when the rodeo's in town.

Oh and Emrakul was banned. That wily Emrakul.

Here's the full release notes for your reading pleasure:

We're back!

After a holiday break we're ready to get back to it, and I've reassembled the crew to help me out!

Aether Revolt prereleases are this weekend so we go over a few cards that we're excited to sleeve up for both Constructed and Limited.

Next we have a huge upset with an early Banned & Restricted update.

What could be so bad that it got banned in Standard?

What about Modern? Are we finally going to get the Turn 4 format that Wizards wants?

All that and all the bad jokes you've come to expect.

Feels good to be back!

Stay turned for more next week!
