Magic is a big part of our lives, but what happens when it's the only thing? Jamie shares how she feels when Magic becomes too, and TJ recalls when it almost overwhelmed him. We also ponder Omnath's future and with whom we really want to party.

Zendikar Rising has been out for a week and your hosts are already having problems. TJ explains why a ramp card might get banned before it's even legal to play. Jamie shares her frustration with Arena's release, and the whole gang ponders more shoes for the Gatewatch.

Zendikar Rising has been fully revealed, and Jamie is back to help us out with her professional limited opinion. Will it be fast or slow? What's the bombiest bomb for draft? What will shake up Standard? We ponder what the new set will bring to both limited and constructed play.

Previews are rolling in, and we are starting to get a feel for the theme of Zendikar Rising and what it has to offer. We look at some of the cards that excite us, might be game changers, or are just plain fun. We ponder if this set finally ends the Zendicurse of past blocks.

It's preview time, and the party is coming to us! We look at the party mechanic and the new spin on modal cards, check in on the Hall of Fame update announcement, and ponder who we'd want to see in and why.

All players have bad runs, get cold, and just can't seem to win a game. Jamie talks about hers from last week and how losing streaks affect streamers. With our listeners, we ponder some ways to handle them when they do show up in our games, pro or casual.

Mark Rosewater released his annual "State of Magic" article this week about what WotC has learned in a year. We go over it and give our own opinions. We also check in with Jamie on how Amonkhet Remastered is going and ponder what it takes to truly remaster a previous set.

We all love the smell of fresh cards straight out of a booster pack, but did you know that each pack has its own unique aroma? We act as your set sommeliers this episode, weaving a sensory story with our descriptions. We also ponder what to do when our relationship with Magic starts to get unhealthy.

There's only a few weeks left until Standard rotation, but this week's Banned and Restricted announcement has finally axed the cards that people have been unhappy about for a long time. Will the fun return? Is it too late? We also ponder how people are expressing their frustrations on social media and if these are justified or just the fallout of "Angsty Magic Twitter".

Want to buy some packs but can't stand the draft chaff? Well check out the new set boosters! It's a new product to get more playables into your hands. We talk about who they're for and why they even exist. There's also been some conflict between the old school paper playing boomers and the new digital arena zoomers, but we're okay with that. We also give Jamie a bunch of extra work in this one.
