Skullcraic

This week we dive into Gerry Thompson leaving the MPL, and Wizards' announcement adding Jess Estephan and Savjz to the MPL (hopefully doing our best to be respectful in this discourse). In Standard news, the format continues to evolve in new and unexpected ways week after week. Let's see if this can keep up coming to the first ever Arena Mythic Qualifier Weekend.

In this week's episode of Skullcraic, we dive into the developments following the disqualification of Yuuya Watanabe, and then move on to our thoughts on the first round of the MPL league streams. We touch on WAR limited briefly before jumping over to a big discussion of how Standard is shaping up as well as some of the cards from War of the Spark that have made a splash in Modern.

This week we're going over our experience of War of the Spark draft including our impressions of the draft format and some of the cards that have impressed us in our early games. Then we jump straight into Standard, discussing how it feels when you don't feel like you have a handle on a format, and diving into the lists from the top 8 of the first SCG event of this format.

This week on Skullcraic we're talking about Modern at Mythic Championship London and the wealth of information that came along with it! There was a disqualification of an MPL player during the tournament which we cover too. Wizards have also finally announced at least some of what the "League" part of "Magic Pro League" means, so we go over the scarce details of that announcement. Al shares his thoughts on War of the Spark sealed, and David gives his early impressions of standard with the addition of the newest set!

This week we're finishing off our impressions of the now fully-previewed War of the Spark! We go over the story implications as we give our thoughts on the remaining cards in the set and get our brewing juices flowing. Next week, we'll be back with some of our initial brews of the set and our first thoughts on the limited format.

This week Ciaran rejoins us for even more War of the Spark previews discussion! We also go over some changes to decklist rules at the upcoming Mythic Championship in London, and the announcement of the finalized Mythic Championship Qualifier Schedule.

This Week on Skullcraic we're talking even more WAR previews! There are so many planeswalkers, we don't know what to do with ourselves. Constructed applications of the previewed cards take up the bulk of our discussion but of course, we carve out a few minutes to discuss the theory that The Wanderer is actually a well-known and much-beloved flying spaghetti monster in disguise!

The Mythic Invitational is on our mind this week as we go over our thoughts on the presentation, coverage, and format. War of the Spark has also begun official previews so we come in with our hot takes on all the announced cards, and of course... that trailer!

This week, we go over the decklists from this year's crop of Challenger decks, as well as covering the latest announcements for Magic Arena, which include a bunch of new cosmetic options like card backs, new avatars and card styles! Alan brings a triumphant Legacy tournament report and in Extra Turns regales us with a ridiculous April Fools joke!

This week, we're talking about the most recent Banned and Restricted announcement and the future of Modern considering Faithless Looting wasn't banned. We check in with Standard and let you know what we've been playing and how successful we've been. In Enter the Arena this week, we tackle the daunting issue of how (and why) to build a sideboard!
