This week we talk about the banned and restricted list changes, Frank Kasten's Magic Math, and the first week of a new standard. We apologize for audio quality issues - by no means unlistenable but Corey's audio was a bit fuzzy.

We certainly had a fun time with this. Its hard to really go in depth with what we talked about without just giving it away, so hey give it a listen and you'll get a rough outline of all The Magic Stories so far for Shadows over Innistrad. I would mostly suggest just reading them yourselves but if not, we'll give you a simple break down of all of them. Enjoy.

Also because I'm dumb, you can check out the Stories Here

Rod Stewart said it best. Some guys just have all the luck. Nahiri, Arlinn Kord, Olivia, Startled Awake, Westvale Abbey, Sin Prodder, and a prerelease foil Archangel Avacyn. So much for skill.

Instead of toys being taken away, we get a new toy that's never seen Modern play: Ancestral Vision! Wizards dropped a bomb this week, and with it, Cameron's wallet of 120 dollars. We discuss our limited run with Shadows Over Innistrad, talk the new banned and restricted list, and go on a diatribe about comics. And, yes, Curtis was right about Ancestral. Thank you for your honor.

Hey look, we're back! This week we're joined by Trevor from the Weekend Calendar podcast and editor over at Card Confidants. Why? Because he's the only person I could find that plays both Modern and Vintage and he's pretty awesome! He's here to help us make some sense of the Banned/Restricted List update. There's also plenty of discussion of GP swag, crowdfunding coverage, and more stuff from this week and last.
