While we can't really do anything about the changes that are happening to the GP circuit, we can sure as hell talk about it. What do you think is going to happen?

Jonathon Zaczek is the Champion of Merfolk. He made top 8 at Grand Prix Vancouver, while his followers Przemek Knocinski and Simon Slutsky won GP Copenhagen 2015 and GP Los Angeles 2016 with Merfolk. Merfolk has been scrubbed off as a joke by the top players for years. It is our guest’s mission to prove them wrong, AGAIN.

Click to Tweet: I got a ton of value from Jonathon Zaczek when he shared his story on #MTGProTutor! Listen here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep183

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

Every set changes the whole game. It keeps the game fresh.

Early Challenge

Finding the right people to surround himself with.

Worst Magic Moment

Jonathon played Mono blue devotion in Standard. He did very well everywhere except at PTQ's. At his lost PTQ he lost every single game.

Proudest Magic Moment

Top 8 at GP Vancouver

Breakthrough Moment

When Jonathon started winning PTQ's with Merfolk.

Advice from Pros

Play the deck that speaks to you.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players don't play around what their opponent might have.

How to Effectively Prepare for a Big Event

Play competitive leagues on Magic Online. Sleep very well the nights before.

Parting Guidance

Playing around cards is the most important thing you can do in Magic.

You're at the mercy of your cards. Never resign.

This week, on a community heavy episode of At Your End Step, the guys rant about the [no] changes to Standard. They also discuss the changes to the GP system in 2018. We also discuss the GPs from this weekend, where some were more interesting than others. Regardless of where Standard is at, we are pumped for Modern Masters 2017, so make sure you get to Comic Town in Columbus for their awesome Modern weekend!

This week Corey and Darrel give their reactions to the lack of changes to the banned and restricted list and discuss whether or not 3 toughness is still the barrier to entry for creatures in the modern format.

The discussion of Josh’s Lovecraftian cube continues as the crew reviews the blue section.

Being one of the main colors for the spider spawning archetype, there are plenty of self mill creatures.

  

Blue is home to two of the most important tribes supported in the horror cube:

Zombies…

  

And Spirits!

  

Besides tribal support, blue bolsters the spells/flashback archetypes, as well as an aggressive mill strategy, that Alec believes might be too strong.

See how deep the madness goes!

Next episode we’ll explore the black section, arguably the most difficult to narrow down and keep on the same power level.

First of all, sorry this is so extremely delayed, its been a rough couple of weeks for me. Second of all, just a reminder that because this is so delayed, we will be live with episode 22 Planeshift Shadowmoor, tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/lairoflore around 6 pm mountain time.

So this is one of our weirder episodes, we're mostly just hear to cover any and all new art from Modern Masters 2017. So without further adue, sorry I know the podcast is coming out a week late but it was live and recorded on time, it just got lost in the bustle.

Also if you would like to see the other work done by any of the artists we are referring to they will be below.
