Strategy: Pre-conceptions

What’s the best way to handle new commanders? Play the pre-con and upgrade it, or build a deck wholesale?

Technology: Pre-cons staples

There are some cards Wizards just seems to love to stick into pre-cons. What are they and are they worth?

What would Kaladesh be like? We are a bunch of imaginative people and get to inventing our own Kaladesh. Crazy and whacky ideas, why not?!?! Here's hoping that some of that will actually come true.

Now that Cluze has resurfaced (literally) he's back with us to discuss the Modern Weekend! Two tournaments on opposite sides of the USA, each with mirroring ups (these kids today!) and downs (crime!). But GP Charlotte won the Dumpster Fire award with its unprecedented technical difficulty delay. To explain exactly what happened Chewie interviewed GP Charlotte's Head Judge Scott Marshall, who is in fact pretty awesome. That interview is included in this episode so everyone can hear it straight from the source. It starts at 1:05:38.

Oh yeah, Eternal Masters preview season started today, and it's already pretty nuts! Don't forget to check out The Mana Pool's exclusive preview card on Wednesday, May 25th!

Community: Open Hands

I want to talk about: Playing with your hands open to help newer players.

Strategy: Threat Assessment.

How do you identify the threat at the table? Is it the guy who always wins? Or is it that shady slick in the corner just drawing cards?

Technology: Old vs. New

In this totally-not-stolen-idea, we’ll compare New Olivia vs. Old Olivia

It's been a while since we last cast! We talk about the SCG Columbus Invitational, what new modern is starting to shape up to look like, as well as the last two Modern GP's: Charlotte and LA.

We also discuss Comic Town's Legacy Expo 1K, and getting ready for GP Columbus! Eternal Weekend also got announced for October, also in Columbus!

Finally, we give a short introduction to Miracles as a legacy archetype, and go over Eternal Masters spoilers and things that could still be spoiled!

We hope you enjoy this episode! We'll be on MTG Cast from now on!

Brian begins the cast in German as a nod to our friend @vikingmtg, then we discuss Pokemon. Returning to modern we cover Eternal, Zeki’s experience at GP New Jersey, Artists, Theros related flavor, and end by discussing our potential Wizards dream job and conclude that while Brian has many dream jobs, but might be a nightmare for the Wizards HR department.

Kevin Cron and Steve Menendian analyze the mid-May, post-Lodestone Golem restriction Vintage metagame; including MTGO Dailies, the April Premiere event, Paper results and the Bazaar of Moxen.
