This week, JB and Dboe break down the top 5 lists in the Standard Meta. These are the decks that are sweeping the MTG Arena meta and you are almost guaranteed to play them online. If you are into Standard, this is a great episode to see some insight into these lists, what is great about them, plus potential changes to maybe make them better; not to mention how we may build to beat them.

A little while ago there was an interesting thing that popped up on people's radars again, and that was the idea of Magic: the Gathering adding a 6th color, purple. This isn't a new idea, in fact, Wizards of the Coast in-so-much admitted to contemplating it back in 2007 for the Planar Chaos set. But what would it mean for players now? What could the color purple even be? This episode dives into the history, controversy, and complexity of the color purple and the potential problems and solutions to the color in how it interacts with the established color wheel and the game.

Wizards of the Coast have been steadily making changes to MTG Arena, and they are surely changing the way we experience Magic: The Gathering as a whole. How is the partnership with Epic Games going to affect the community or the economy? What noticeable quality of life changes have been occurring? How does this all make since in the long run?

This a rather technical episode, but it waxes philosophical on how these changes will affect the player base. If you play Magic Arena, you won't want to miss this one.

(Side Note: We apologize for the late upload on this. JB had it edited by last Monday, and I had it uploaded to our host on Tuesday only to discover on release that I had muted a couple tracks by accident. At the time I was in Florida for business, and wasn't able to get to it until today! Love, Dboe)

With Theros: Beyond Death just around the corner, the Land Say Go crew gets on to talk about all we know about it so far.

Theros Spoilers are in semi-full swing, with some great curveballs being sent our way to analyze and review. Full preview season starts next week (the week of Jan 1)!

Theros sees some changes to the themed boosters, including exclusive cards. What does this mean for us as players and collectors? Is this a good or bad thing for us the consumer? What does it mean for WOTC?

Some potential bad news for Vorthos players? Its looking like Theros won't have a story as we know it. Why is this? Will this change for future sets?

All of this and more on this week's episode of The Main Phase!
