Mana On the Rocks

This Cow aint big enough for the both of us... Looks its really simple. If the two of us consider ourselves rational agents that means we both would... Hey what are you doing? Are you even listening? What you want to play Magic: the Gathering? But we are playing it. Well I guess we are playing a game using Magic as the backdrop for my mental and political schemes to play out using cardboard as a m...

Ok, where's birdshot I'm gonna take care of this menace myself. Oh great! Just when I thought the format was gonna even out, no. There's yet another thing to worry about and fear when I sit down with my jank 3 colour high power deck, when will wizards ever learn! Huh? you want me to what? put a removal spell in my deck? HAH fat chance there bucko if I put in a removal spell I have to t...

This cauldron is bubbling and poppin Scylla's list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/b5fV5Jit6USJfoqfiKUQHg Scylla's links: https://linktr.ee/your_priscylla One part eye of newt, one part salamander tail, 2 parts thoracle and a dash of Razaketh. *sips* yep, that's the stuff right there. Just the right amount of consistency and SPICE with a healthy punch of beat your face in. Local Brew s...

Can't believe a whole city punted In our ever-ongoing quest to expand our influences of communicating with the table and displacer kitten allegations Atlas made the trek east to spread the good word. Some losses were had, some victories gained, some punts made all of this making for some great conversation carried over a good drink!

YEEHAW PARDNER GIDDIE UP Welcome to the Mana on the rocks Saloon, how tough are you? You cast Consult BEFORE casting the thoracle?? You are either the bravest cowpoke I've ever come across or the silly soul on the prairie. Regardless, its hot out here being a rootin tootin cowboy and I could use a drink.

A clash of titans Another weekend, another round of hearty competition as our two protagonists face off against the world in hopes of taking home the spoils of war and to prove that you SHOULDN'T SHOVE YOUR WIN HERE GOD DAMN IT NOW THE BLUE FARM PLAYER JUST UNTAPS AND THORACLES US YOU HAVE DOOMED US ALL. Anyway this week Atlas and Joe cover the Cascade Clash Cedh event hosted by Aegis Games an...

From the depths of Tartarus itself The Displacer Kitten is a untamable beast. Many of tried to harness the power for themselves, few have succeeded. Once a regal companion to one King Kenrith (Long may he reign), the temporally temperamental beast has sought after a new set of masters, ones who would be willing to harness the lightning. Yeah were talking about Hellcat a deck which recently led Joe...

At the end of the day, its what it's all about Cedh can be a lot of things, to a lot of different people. One of the many things it offers is community. What does that look like? How does one go about building up a stronger community, or just making a community in general? That's what the Mana on the Rocks boys are here to talk about, and we talk a lot about it, grab a drink and hop in! Po...

Its another doozy of an event that's for sure. Ahh, the home game. Don't have to wake up early to travel far, don't have to worry about lodging or getting home super late, there's just something magical about home games. Hah, get it. Magical. Magic. As in the gathering ... I thought it was clever. Atlas and Joe recount their time competing in the first Gabi's OCCS event of the...

We are so back. What's the meaning of life again? The new competitive season has finally started and Atlas and Joe are hitting the ground running with their first major of the new year: Laughing Dragon's SEADH 4. Come and pull up a chair and grab a drink as we recall our sick outplays, bad beats and funny moments. Podcast logo created by: ko-fi.com/sadsenpai12 ==The Shill Zone == Patreon:...

Whaddya mean Stangg isnt cedh?! The game moves fast, some would say too fast. Granted those that move fast tend to fumble to a fish or a rhystic so take it with a grain of salt. The ultimate question is: what makes a given card/deck/person/place/thing/noun/adverb/adjective worthy of the qualification of Cedh? Where is that line? Is it a line? Is this the most bizarre description I have written? Wh...

Mill sixteen, feelin clean Max' List: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/qbeMhe5EaUiTjUD0GKL1nA You silly fool. Just when you thought the Dimir color pairing was all figured out we hit you with the realness. You all with your ad nauseam's and bolas' citadel's and turbo thoracles. We at Mana on the Rocks are here to provide the spice to shake up your preconceived notions on what you can...

Gotta be the best if you wanna beat the rest It's a new year and a new start for our heroes: Atlas and Joe. Brave knights of dastle Mana on The Rocks setting out for a journey in search of glory, fun, good company and not going 1-3. But how can someone embark on their own journey? What does that look like? Well thankfully the castle is equipped with many a book for your brain to drink the know...

Cheaters aren't cool m'kay? Mana on the Rocks is proud to have a no shirt, no shoes, no cheaters policy. To put it bluntly, if we find that you are a cheater you will get blasted into the sun. That's not just an empty threat we put all the patreon money towards building a solar cannon with the express purpose of firing cheaters into the sun. Don't ask me where I got it, I know a gu...

But I wanna play 4 person legacy not cedh! One of the unique qualities about Cedh is the art of politicking. A very subtle way of guiding the table towards ones own end, but more than that its about communicating with the rest of your table and making sure that the table is communicating with you, in some capacity. Turns out, people have opinions on that whole phenomenon. Can you imagine that, opi...

You know what's better than 2023? 2024. 2023 will forever be a historic year as that was the very year this little show started up. A decent amount happened in the last year of competitive commander cardboarding so Atlas and Joe take a step back and reminisce about all the stuff that happened on our last transit of the sun. Sounds like its time for a drink! Podcast logo created by: ko-fi.com/s...

Where did he come from? Where did he go? Where is he now? Surely such a small fellow doesn't boast well in a fight, right? Well he sure does pack a punch, and don't call me Shirley. Don't let the small demeanor of our one-eyed lord distract you as once he fades, the end times are fast approaching. This week Atlas and Joe are joined by one of Atlas' teammates: Bailey and we break do...

Back and better than ever Legends tell of two extraordinary Cedh players returning from the deep to deliver their knowledge to the masses. The ancient ways of casting displacer kitten and vehemently running away from blue will be taught for generations to come. Now assemble in the pantheon (bar) and drink up the knowledge. Come and sit.

It's about what you expect really It's that time again our local shop Gabi's Olympic Cards and Comics threw their last tournament for the year and the Mana On the Rocks crew showed up in to try and take it down. Well Atlas did, I'm not really sure what Joe is doing but it seems kinda cool. Come on down and get a drink with us as we go through our matches, how we thought we did and...

We finally do it. We go turbo mode. So it's no secret here at ye old Mana On the Rocks, were pretty unaware of why turbo players choose the turbo life. Thankfully we got some pretty swell people around us to help us understand the speed side of the format. We invite our semi-local Inalla player Sam on to talk us up on going fast. --The lists we covered--- Bryant Cook's epic Storm: https://...

I'd be in hell too if my range was mid. Ah, a tale as old as time itself. Stax beats turbo, turbo beats midrange and midrange beats stax. Well are times changing? Are we still playing this playground classic? Well I know a couple of bar frequenters that wanna have a drink and talk this through.

Hark as he tells us stories of making it to the final pod effortlessly weaving through the competition. That's right it's Local Brew time. You already know what it is.
