The Spike Feed

We have the metagame breakdown for the latest Modern Pro Tour, and… oh boy, are we negative. We vent, analyze, and ask what should be done with the format. What should be banned? And why is there such a divergence in how people feel? We also talk movies and books. Thank you for your honor.

Celebrating episode 301, we get our first taste of Throne of Eldraine, and we like what we see. Cameron has some frustrations with Esper Tempo, while Curtis ups his number of wrath’s. We speculate on all of the Comic Con releases and talk a little bit about the PlayStation VR. Thank you for your honor.

We’re in the summer doldrums of life, but with the injection of M20 cards in Standard, there’s a silver lining. We take a look at some of the new decks in Standard, talk a little about the Bridge banning, and analyze our chances of maxing out XP with the mastery pass. Thank you for your honor.

M20 is upon us. We discuss our sealed experiences and why it’s 100 percent wrong to play Laylines in the format. We share what decks we will be playing in Standard and speculate what will happen with the Banned and Restricted List. We also talk Spiderman Far From Home and (surprise) Witcher.

The final spoilers for M20 are out, we round out our talk of the set. We speculate what this new Historic format will mean for Magic, and we take a look at a few video games. Thank you for your honor.

We’ve got a chocked full episode of content this week. Did Cameron “play” legacy? Sure. Did Curtis go on a KC tour of Magic? Heck yeah! We take a look at some M20 spoilers and talk VR and Toy Story. Thank you for your honor.

Modern Horizons is here and it’s already having an impact to the format. We take a look at a few of the decks and a few of the cards that bring either welcome changes or severe consequences. We discuss a few games that were released months ago, and talk Chernobyl. Thank you for your honor.

After Sandwich-gate, we are back to regular form. And what a time to be a Magic player! Standard is great. Drafting Modern Horizons is great. We’re even getting an animated series. We go over our weeks, analyze a few headlines (like the London mulligan), and talk TV shows and video games. Thank you for your honor.

Thanks to a tainted roast beef sandwich, Curtis’s hopes of taking down the Legacy side events were dashed. But both of us got a chance to play a little legacy, trade some cards, and record a very abbreviated podcast. We will be back to regular form next week. Thank you for your honor.

Spoilers abound with the upcoming release of Modern Horizon’s. Will it shape Modern into the lasting non-rotating, interactive format for generations to come? Or will everyone end up playing Burn? We review some cards, and give our final thoughts on Game of Thrones. Thank you for your honor.
