Andy and Anthony respond to an episode of The Eternal Glory Podcast on the recent pauper bans. Drawing comparisons between managing a constructed format with bans and Cube design, the boys examine the difference between welcome power outliers and toxic, ban-worthy cards, talk about the nature of evolving metagames, small and large, and interrogate the concept of a “good Magic purist”.
