This week we take one more look at these fancy new Amonkhet cards. Also, we'll discuss the banned and restricted updates effecting legacy, vintage, and commander.

****DISCLAIMER: THIS WAS RECORDED ON 4/25/2017, PRE-EMERGENCY BAN.***

This week the guys delve into a huge stack of community topics, starting with the elephant in the room, the banned and restricted announcement. After this, they go back to the huge info drop that Wizards of the Coast released last week concerning Nationals and more! Next they talk the changes to the infamous “combat” rules conundrum. Lastly, the guys discuss their options for Standard before this week’s Comic Town Classic.

Kevin Cron and Steve Menendian discuss the Restriction of Gush and Gitaxian Probe, the Mana Drain Open results and their review of Amonkhet for Vintage.

Eternal Weekend

Banned & Restricted List Update

Here comes the sun! It's alright!

Stephen is in the talking box with me tonight and there's a lot to go over.

First up we've got a Banned and Restricted update to go over. Standard and Modern have remained untouched, but Legacy and Vintage got hit HARD.

Legacy has lost Sensei's Divining Top - RIP Miracles

Vintage has both Gush and Gitaxian Probe now restricted. Can Mentor decks continue to dominate?

We discuss.

Next! Amonkhet had its prerelease over the weekend and is now available on MODO to draft as well. Stephen and I dig into our initial thoughts on the Limited format. Cards that over performed, and Alex's one card that you should. Never. Ever. Play.

Stay tuned for more next week!

Six year old Ashlyn embarks on an epic quest with her dad Cam to learn about Magic. Hopefully other Magical Mum's and Dad's can get some inspiration for teaching their own little planeswalkers from listening to them!

Today Cam takes Ashlyn through all the different types of magic card. Will Ashlyn remember any of this? Will Cam explain things clearly? And just how many amazing things will one Wild Nacatl get done in a single show?
