THANK YOU!!!

Sorry this episode got a bit delayed behind all the Overwatch stuff that has been happening just before and since its live recording. The long and short of this whole episode was basically, we Finally did a kind of short episode.  We very quickly and briefly covered all the promotional info that had been available about Modern Masters 2017, head ups not really our thing aside from any new art we get but there wasn't a ton of that at the time, and still isn't really.

The meat of the show was about all the pretty, and in some cases slightly dumb art we have now seen for Amonkhet. We dove through a plethora of what appear to the Plane's gods as well as some gorgeous full art lands; beautiful Raymond Swanland art on the Archenemy deck box, and some planeswalker art varying between stunning and a bit derpy.

You can see what we are talking about right here.

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Rival’s Duel. With the Amonket packaging and art dump release, we know that gods are coming back to magic. This got us feeling nostalgic for the last set of gods. To scratch that itch, it’s time for another gauntlet, this time with all 15 of the Theros gods. The gauntlet is where we take a subset of cards, rank them, and see how our lists compare. So sit back, take a listen, and let us know in the comments below which of your gods is your favorite.

Editor’s Note: I am trying something new with the shownotes. Rather than retype everything I say in the intro, I will be using the shownotes for links to important information. I am curious about your thought on podcast show notes for Rival’s Duel, so if you feel strongly about this one way or the other, let me know. Cheers, Nole.

THANKS FOR LISTENING!!!

Cameron takes the week off and Curtis is joined by Modern Aficionado Great Nate. We go DEEP on the ins and outs of the format, the impact of the bans, and where the format is headed in the future. Curtis also mixes in some general complaining about MTGO and the incredibly mediocre format of triple Khans. Thank you for your honor.

We're finally on Stitcher!

A week off to recharge our batteries and we're back, and boy is there a lot to cover!

First up! Who thought Modern was healthy? I sure did! Dredge and Death's Shadow still kicking despite the bannings? Just shows how stubborn those pilots can be, and the rest of the meta looks great! Play what you want, win with what you want.

Justin and I discuss.

Next we finally have some Modern Masters 2017 spoilers! Well packaging that in turn spoils cards. About time too, set comes out next month.

Next Justin and I speculate on the recently released Amonkhet art. Are the gods mono or tri colored? Are they representative of the Egyptian gods? We'll find out soon enough!

Stay tuned for more next week!

Proxy, counterfeit, fake... Whatever you call them, they aren't original. This week, we discuss the impact of counterfeit cards to the Magic economy.

This week we have a Corbin excited by his favorite deck, a Doug excited by his biggest purchase, and a Jason made salty by the normal range of daily occurrences.    This week the nonsense takes over the first part of the cast.   Learn which cards to buy, which TNMT arcade game was the best, which deceased television personality holds the key to Corbin's heart, and how Douglas turns your draft chaff into thousand dollar magic cards.   Join us nerds.
