The Spike Feed

After a brief break, we are back to talk about all things Magic the Gathering. And we have a lot to be critical over, but we also talk solutions when it comes to competitive play, product fatigue, and values of collections. Curtis also gives us his update with Flesh and Blood, and we go over a few thing we’ve been watching. Thank you for your honor.

Brothers War is upon us and we take a look at the set. We also ask if Standard is irrevocably broken or is there some way for it to shine as it once did. We also dive deep into Black Panther, Andor, and God of War. Thank you for your honor.

Taking a break from Arena, we talk about our experiences with Flesh and Blood and Canadian Highlander. And despite the artifact-centric theme, Brother’s War is looking to shake up Standard in a good way. Thank you for your honor.

We take a look at some cards from Brothers War and wonder what sort of impact it will have on Standard. And we talk about some of the most current video games. Thank you for your honor.

We start the show going over our latest experiences with Standard, and aside from wanting Fable of the Mirror Breaker out, we are both ready for a new set. We also take a look at the health of Explorer, and wonder what is too much when it comes to product releases. Thank you for your honor.

Meathook Massacre and Yorion get the boot in their respective formats, and we talk as to what sort of impact this is going to have of their metas. Magic 30 is still awful. And we spend the end of the show waxing poetic about Andor. Thank your for your honor.

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, Magic the Gathering turns 30. Wizards of the Coast decides to celebrate by rereleasing cards from Beta to allow any fan of the game a chance to experience the game of Magic from that time. And we all celebrate and win: the company, the collector, and the player. In this universe, for the low low price of 1000 dollars, you can get a 4% chance of opening a non-tournament legal Black Lotus. Hot take: Wizards is going to make so much money… Thank you for your honor?

This week we talk Standard and Pioneer. Cameron starts dipping his toe into Canadian Highlander, and we ask if the Power 9 would draw us to Alchemy (spoiler: it won’t). We also talk more House of Dragons and recommend a new album from Coheed and Cambria. Thank you for your honor.

We spend the episode turning our negative vibes into something constructive, by diving into drafting and Explorer. We lament the printing of “Space Beleran” and what it represents to the legacy and vintage. And we ponder if a billion-dollar company can muster something better than a few hundred bucks to Jo-Ann Fabrics for a costume contest. Thank you for your honor.

It’s a light news week, so we dive into a few of the decks we’ve been playing in Standard. And it seems the correct thing to be doing is playing Tenacious Underdog and Seaolred…Shelrod…Shealrad….Sheolral..d? Thank you for your honor.
