  • 64. Strixhaven Facts

    Episode 64 of The Memory Jar, a Magic: The Gathering podcast about the cards, decks, people, and stories that make Magic the game we love.


    This week, we go deep on the most recent standard legal set, Strixhaven: School of Mages! This isn’t a set review - this is The Memory Jar! We talk about some of the callbacks, the reprints, the creature types, and old cards that are now obsolete. We also assign each other to colleges, and of course we name this set’s Secret Reach and Tongue Twister cards. This set is...actually, it’s kind of a weird one!

  • 58. Kaladesh Block Revisited

    Episode 58 of The Memory Jar, a Magic: The Gathering podcast about the cards, decks, people, and stories that make Magic the game we love.

    This week, we flash back to the Kaladesh block.  Kaladesh Remastered’s appearance on Arena got us nostalgic for the not-really-so-long-ago days of Energy, Vehicles, and cards being banned in standard. Good thing they don’t have to do that anymore! Also, Christian compares Stronghold to jazz?
