The guys adjust their ratings for the new insurance plan Saheeli has brought forth to Kaladesh. They explore recent and old mechanics of the game through Mark Rosewater’s Storm Scale to better understand why they are getting charged so much this fiscal year. They debate which mechanics they believe are beneficial, ones that deserve banishment, and ones that need more love. What is a Vehicle without its mechanic? Find out this week!

Our Planeswalkers really need a better adjustor. So they decided to make a support group to talk about ways they somehow have survived a rash of stupid decisions. 

 A horde of the undead, a giant dragon that likes sushi, two mechanical brothers with daddy issues… and a crazy ex-girlfriend who rage quits after not drawing her combo.

 It would be really rad if we learned how to survive the mass extinction event that could be coming to our plane any day now (Freaking Eldrazi…) We couldn’t write a survival guide in time because of the giant rift…so this is all you’re going to get…

WARNING: SERIOUS BRAIN DAMAGE MAY OCCUR WHEN JUMPING BETWEEN PLANES! 

Two caveman draw 7 what happens next? Everyone pie- We discuss pie, enjoy pie, win pie- Bruce and Pete go a bit unhinged in this episode about colors. It’s more than you think.

Our intrepid planeswalkers decided to mix it up a bit this week with story time. Bruce and Pete dive deep into the very stories that brought cardboard into the mainstream toy market. Every card tells a story and the guys reflect on some of their favorite planes and the vastness of the Magic the Gathering world! Everyone loves a good origin story arc! 

Join the guys for this week's show as they look at the story behind the game and explore some MTG lore.
