The Spike Feed

It's another big week of spoilers for Dragons of Tarkir. We review some choice cards that have us intrigued. We also discuss the big news from Puca Trade. And Dustin gives some financial advice on how to maximize your sales on Ebay. Thank you for your honor.

What a week for MTG news: new spoilers from Dragons of Tarkir and MTG Origins, a revisit to Zendikar, and the reprinting of Tarmogoyf. It was so huge, Curtis freaked out and went on a vision quest in the Mojave Desert. Thankfully, he brought a satellite phone and a trunk full of Milkshake mix. Thank you for your honor.

A dad makes fun of Magic: The Gathering. Cut to an extreme closeup of Cameron's eye with a single tear running down his face. Why didn't he invest his money in girls like his dad told him. This week we talk counterfeit cards, the reserved list, the Modern Open on SCG, Tempest Remastered, and Dustin's Cats and Camels Contest. We didn't have time to record our "thank you" segment for Patreon, but rest assured, you are all amazing people. Thank you for your honor.

How do we bring new players into the fold? This week we discuss how to ease new players into Magic without scaring them the way Curtis did to Cameron. We also talk about Limited and the new From the Vault Angels...which none of us are really excited for. Thank you for your honor.

It's a Standard-centric episode, so, of course, we begin by talking Legacy. Cameron goes casual this week. Dustin rates a trade. And Curtis dabbles in Standard on MTGO. Let's say you have 73 Fleecemane Lions sitting in your closet. Sure, it's a great Standard card. The ultimate question, though, is if or when you should sell or trade away all of those sweet, sweet Lions. We discuss what to do with your Standard collection as rotation gets closer. Thank you for your honor.

Pro Tour Fate Reforged just happened...that's a lot of Siege Rhino. We talk the Pro Tour, our weeks, and the announcement of the new core set "Magic Origins." Obviously this means Black Lotus will be reprinted. We examine the card Metal Worker, and 5.4% of this podcast is dedicated to 90s post-grunge music. Thank you for your honor.

This week we have very special guests on the show. Maria and Meghan from Magic the Amateuring join us for a conversation on Fate Reforged, podcasting, and diversity in Magic. Dustin is finally back from his trip in Japan, while Curtis figures out how to convert his MTGO tickets into a Banana Republic gift card for Cameron. Thank you for your honor.

With Fate Reforged officially out, it's a new Standard. Curtis suits up UB Control and Cameron tweaks Jeskai Tokens. We talk about some of the new decks and cards making a splash. Think about this: what do you do when you lose a lot (like Cameron-levels of losing)? Curtis gives you three easy steps to becoming a better tournament grinder. Thank you for your honor.

We pushed the show back one day so we could talk about the updated banned list. This week we're joined by special guest and GP Omaha Top 8-er Zac Roorda. Curtis and Cameron learn what it takes to make top 8 at a GP, go deep into the bannings, and finally set up our Patreon rewards. . Thank you for your honor.

We're at GP Omaha this week. After an exhausting day of Modern, Cameron and Curtis fell asleep, but then decided to record a podcast in the middle of a lucid dream. We give our takeaway from the event and discuss the ups and downs of the format. We also go over some new Fate Reforged spoilers, including a horrible Suntail Hawk impersonator, of which we shall not name. Thank you for your honor.
