MTGCast

This week we cover SCG: Indianapolis Results, MTGO Treasure Chests, PucaTrade Economy and Sweepstakes, and Frontier Magic.

Hold onto your butts, this week is a long one (and not just because we have our buddy Chris Lansdell on the episode)! First off, we didn't record last week so we've got to cover all of the stuff we missed. Luckily that only takes about 5 minutes. This is the first week of New Standard, so we've got a LOT to talk about as far as new cards and new decks! Then there's a bit of discussion about the new Frontier format. Then we talked about Richard Garfield's manifesto on "freemium" games, which led to a discussion about Masterpieces subsidizing Standard. And THEN we had to tackle the massive, sweeping changes to the Magic Online Economy! There's something for everyone here!

First Set

Kamigawa

Favorite Set

Innistrad

Favorite Card

Jace Beleren

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

Traveling around the world with friends.

Early Challenge

Constructed. Early on Immanuel was not good at building decks, but the events he wanted to attend were constructed so he had to practice.

Level Up Moment

Going from Silver to Gold level pro at Pro Tour Vancouver

Worst Magic Moment

GP Ghent went 0-2-1 and dropped. He stopped playing for a few months. Good friends got him to comeback

Proudest Magic Moment

GP Madrid - first Grand Prix win

PT Eldritch Moon - needed 11-5 to stay on the train. Immanuel got 11-4-1.

Effective Playtest

Watch others play and keep track of hard to deal with cards so you can develop a plan.

Best Format

Standard

What card is underplayed in that format

Nahiri The Harbinger

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Not to get as down or angry after a loss. It comes with time and by emulating players you respect.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players stay in their own playground. Go to events and play with others.

If you could have a conversation with yourself 10 years ago, what would you say

Look up to other players and learn.

What's in Your Tournament Bag

Water, Apples, Deck, Note Pad, Pen, Dice

Improvement Suggestions

Socialize and make friends. Magic is best when shared with others.

Hi guys,

We are a new Legacy podcast focusing on metagame shifts, card choices, and strategic discussions. Due to some technical difficulties, we are submitting our first episode with the Conspiracy 2 goodies discussion (Sanctum Prelate, Recruiter of the Guard). If by some Miracle, we might be able to start uploading our previous episodes 1 through 3. This is the 4th ep.

Any feedbacks and questions, please send us an email at [email protected]. We love to hear your suggestions on how to make the cast better. Thank you.

First episode of The Force Spike podcast directed towards competitive players and spikes. This first episode is covering Modern updates (of lack thereof) from the introduction to Kaladesh and the ban list (non) update. Also cover the prerelease weekend and sealed in this new set as well as standard play moving forward.

Today we run down each of our top picks for Kaladesh cards in modern, as well as our top 5 cards we are excited to brew around, and how many gear hulks we can slam into one deck.

There was a B&R announcement (Spoiler Alert: nothing happened) that we quickly cover.

Thanks for listening!

-Ahren + Chris
