The Spike Feed

It’s a super slow week for Magic news, so we dive deep into Standard and Limited. Oko is a house. That Gilded Goose is something else. And Field of the Dead just might be a level beyond anything else in the current standard meta game. We talk video games too. Thank you for your honor.

Throne of Eldraine is upon us and we take a look at what that means for limited and standard. Cameron plays some sealed and has a blast, while Curtis plays standard Esper stax and is ready to dive deeper. We take a look at the roadmap of Arena and talk about an Untitled Goose Game. Thank you for your honor.

Are we feeling the non-rotating format blues? We talk a little about legacy and modern. We review a few choice cards from Throne of Eldraine, and we are…speechless. So many cards, and many of which feel almost too powerful. Cameron pulls a noob mistake with his audio gear, so he’s a little tin-can sounding. Thank you for your honor.

We’re getting closer to Throne of Eldraine and along with it, we have a variety of feelings. The cards are shaping up to be interesting, and we’re hopeful Standard will be strong. We talk a bit about WotC stepping back from a decision in Historic, and we go deep into Sega nostalgia. Thank you for your honor.

Throne of Eldraine is upon us, so we take the middle part of the show to review some spoiled cards. Cameron is shocked by similarities taking place between Legacy and Modern, while Curtis celebrates Standard. We take a look at the new sets for 2020 and talk video games. Thank you for your honor.

With the introduction of Stoneforge Mystic, Cameron dives headfirst into Modern. We discuss the format and what to expect with the Kor Artificer. We take a look at the various announcements surrounding Historic. And we talk about Apex Legends and Astral Chain. Thank you for your honor.

After a busy week, we’re back to talk about the latest banned and restricted announcement. We give our in-depth takes on what this means for specifically Modern, but also Standard and Vintage. We go over a few games we’ve played, and celebrate the announcement of Arena coming to Mac. Thank you for your honor.

It’s a relatively slow news week. We take a look at the flow-charts of the e-sports announcement, debate whether Hogaak should have an emergency ban, and ask ourselves what can keep Arena fresh? Thank you for your honor.

It’s a slow week in the world of magic. Magic Fest Minneapolis happened as did the Iowa State Fair. We begin the cast talking about some spicy new tech in Esper Control. We speculate why Magic Fest attendance is down, and wonder if it’s time to invest in Hasbro. Thank you for your honor.

It’s a multi-format sort of week, and so we talk about everything. Legacy is great. Standard is Awesome. Urza is putting up results in Modern. Cameron ponders the best approach to teaching someone the ins and outs of magic. We take a look at how Modern Horizons is affecting Legacy. And we talk Nintendo and Conan. Thank you for your honor.
