MTGCast

Posted May 17, 2016

Get ready for Grand Prix Los Angeles with MTG Pro and Chann el Fireball writer Sam Pardee. We discuss what the meta game is looking like going and all the different plans of attack. They then each share their picks for best cards to sideboard per color.

If you are going to GPLA make sure to stop by FRIDAY to hang out with ALex and Ben at the Artificer’s Lounge on site, hosted by the MMCast and DMTW.

It’s that spooooookkkkyyyy time again!

The Release Notes for Eldritch Moon will be emerging soon, and to prevent our episodes from escalating in length too much, we decided to go ahead and cover the rules ahead of the release notes being released!

Just meld this episode with the one after it to get the entire Eldritch Moon rules experience.

With this weeks release of Pokémon Go the opening theme seemed obvious to me. We said goodbye to Shadows Limited with the last GP playing the format. We had Judge Frank come on and help us go over the mechanics of the new set. We do spoilers. Then we talk 4th of July.

∆ Buenos noches all you lovely amigos! Bienvenido to Exile Island, your favorite spot in all of MTG! Tonight the Treasure Cruise dropped off more than a special guest in renowned artist, sex symbol, & all around stand up guy RK Post!!! ∆ What exactly is going to happen & how do we know something is going to happen? How did our ancestors crossbreed with the anthropoid species once on Earth? What are the nine prophecies & was the coming of the hippies a sign of the 8th? Is this all just a blindfold created for us by the reptilians to give humanity hope before wiping us out with a catastrophic event? Would the Triads stand a chance against the Illuminati? How good is Ryan’s knowledge on obscure tokens? Just how sweet are RK’s tokens? Just how insane is RK’s event schedule? Did his experiment pay off? Was there jello shots? What sets RK apart from other artists in MTG? What alters made him a notorious legend? How does one become the “dick guy”? What does WotC have against phallic art? How far behind are we on our Kickstarter for a private jet? What can you do to help us reach our stretch goal? What is the going rate for a custom RK paint job? How close are we to getting Lawrence to an orgy? Just how bad can the city of Decatur Illinois smell? Can you actually taste smell? What is the process behind the making of an MTG card? Is it as sexy as we think it is? How important is it that a card see play or not? How strong is RK’s Instagram game? What’s the deal with the free lance market? What is the effect of globalization on RK as an artist? How does one become an artist for MTG in the first place? WTF is an Acridian? How strong is RK’s power of osmosis & is he secretly an MTG pro? How has MTG art evolved in both use of medium & look? How does RK prefer to make art? Can you get your hands on an original painting of a card from RK? How wild or not is a night in the life of RK on the road? What is with the serious lack of MTG art groupies? How did RK come to be such a fixture on the tournament scene? Why should you never ever do work for an MMO? Who decided Foglio should be an artist? What is a "half orgy"? How are we failing as a community? Why does listener Colton send such multi-layered questions to us? What special little known reserve list exists in MTG? How can RK’s philosophy enrich your life? Does anybody actually spell Constantine with a K? Is RK the World Champion of leg wrestling? Is Terese Nielsen a dirty fighter? Where does RK fall on the royalty argument for uses of artwork outside of the actual cards? Is RK himself a work of fine art? Why does Matt Bowlby use such complicated words to pronounce in his questions for our guests? Who is the second coolest ginger you know & is that Houston guy really just a bearded jerk? Does RK rep the six & run it with his woes?  Why do so many people want to experience sex as Abraham Lincoln? Are pigeons people? Is the pink ranger the best ranger? Is going curling a legitimate first date? Seriously, should we be concerned for any pigeons that RK might come into contact with? How under rated is Mr. Mime as a Pokemon? What milestone does RK’s daughter complete at the end of the cast? For all the answers & more make sure you tune in!

Honestly, I think you could have come up with something better than Brisela or Tamiyo, Field Researcher. Even then, the spoilers for Eldritch Moon look sweet so far. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below.
