The guys decide to go back to their roots: Moving forward they will only be talking about garbage. Literally some of the worst cards printed. But one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Especially in EDH gameplay. Bruce and Pete are finding the old path to victory with a hot pile that would make Jim Davis proud. Stay tuned for each week’s hidden stockpile of well… magic. 

This Weeks Cards!

The sky is falling? Wait, no it’s just the massive ban announcement and the demise of the Unofficial official Commander Rules Committee (RC). Bruce and Pete discuss all that has occurred in the last two weeks for the Commander format. As the wizarding world was swept into utter chaos, Bruce and Pete could only watch with apprehension. The dust has settled and the guys are looking to the future now that Wizards of the Coast has received the Rules mantle.

For our 175th we bring on a special guest, Chris Rider, to take a moment and reflect on Magic the game and how we all interact with it.  We take some time to talk about Mark Rosewater's article which was a tribute to his father, and generally just chat about Magic.  Please join us for the show!
