Everyday Eternal Podcast

With a foreword about Jordan Aisaka The previous weekend, England's Axion Now hosted one of the big non-GP tournaments the UK has ever seen: The Gathering offered the two so-called MEGA LEGACY events, each attracting 100+ players. Everyday Eternal was represented by our professional painter pilot Callum, who managed to navigate his way to two Top16 finishes with Painter. Both Legacy Top8s of the w...

"Back in the old days at Wizards of the Coast, we used to joke about how cravenly greedy it would be to release cards that you could only get with a high purchase price, like only available in a booster box etc. We often said that if we did that it was because we were out of ideas and the grasping suits had totally taken over. Then we would laugh because we would never allow that to happen. We cal...

In an impromptu attempt at amateur science, the crew looks into the effect of pouring a bottle of wine over your keyboard. The results will SHOCK you, as one of us soon gets relegated to a literal casting couch for the rest of the podcast. Oh, and there's Max Gilmore too, who actually CRUSHED the quarterly Legacy Showcase Challenge on Magic Online with Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. Never since the da...

It's a full house today, as the entire crew is joined by famed sky noodle expert John Ryan 'xJCloud' Hamilton. xJ recently relocated his desires into the realms of Dragon Stompy, and used his dark powers to once again almost take down a Legacy SuperPTQ. Nevertheless, his 2nd place finish was good enough to qualify him for the Pro Tour (or whatever the cool kids call it these days). We invited xJ t...

We planned this episode as a mailbag one, but then SOMEONE had to go and win the Legacy Challenge with Painter and mess up our plans. Typical Callum move, shameful. Tune in to find out everything about Callum's victory, and listen to us answering all kinds of questions, such as: will the Legacy Premier League return? What happened to the other 22 Julians? And which one of us is actually the best p...

If there's one country that knows what it takes to flavour the shit out of a tournament, it is Japan, where earlier this month, the 20th all-Japanese GOD of Legacy was crowned. However, similar to the Chess World Championship, one does not simply ascend to divinity but instead has to battle their way through a candidates tournament, in order to earn the right to challenge the reigning GOD of Legac...

Kai returns from his attempted raid of the Viking coasts of Scandinavia. Did he finally end up touching Andrea Mengucci at Tier1CON in Malmö?

Today's episode is mostly travel stories from around the world: Callum just returned from his band's month-long tour of the American Midwest and East Coast, where he picked up, among other things, an 18-inch machete at Walmart, and played in front of some of the biggest audiences ever...yet! Julian meanwhile declined an absolute bargain on a Maasai-knife in Kenya, where he spent the last three wee...

The Legacy Showcase Challenge flipped the metagame on its head: an all-creature Sliver deck, the latest iteration of Goblins, a TON of turbo-charged Goblin decks - and in the middle of the madness, Javier Dominguez driving his Esper Yorion Cephalid Breakfast car around the arena. Legend has it Javier's list was created during a transporter freak accident, but what do we know about Star Wars? Kai,...

Are we forever gonna play a game of Whac-A-Mole, or go all-in on nuking some pillars® of the format? And why it actually does not not matter….until we have solved a deeper issue. On tonight's episode, Callum & Julian are joined by serial format breaker Lawrence Harmon, who authored some of the rare meta-level articles about this topic. 00:07:12 — History Lesson 00:24:52 — Legacy's Format Identity...

Callum came, Callum saw, Callum painted. All of London. Mostly blue. All the way to the very top of this month's London Legacy Monthly, as he and his ragtag crew of Goblins, Scarecrows and a lonely Monkey emerged victorious.

Legacy developers are currently working in full overdrive, creating fast-combo decks out of removal spells, and conducting ethically questionable experiments trying to merge two or more decks into one. Callum, Matt & Julian dive into the madness and uncover a hidden gem that had been lurking around the format for a while, before having its breakout result rather recently. The crew also explores th...

Ragavan has been banned. Our sweet prince of Legacy, beloved by many and revered by even more, is no more. Wizards of the Coast has taken action, and our simian sidekick will speak, see or do no evil anymore. But as a wise man once said: don't be sad it's over - be glad it happened. In this spirit, Callum and Julian analyze WotC's stated reason for banning the monkey, and why this B&R announcement...

After Callum had been shamelessly stood up by our scheduled guest, Queen Elizabeth II of England, we instead invited the ONE and ONLY Andrea Mengucci of Italy to save the day and introduce us to the current state of Modern! The format has recently gotten tons of praise following the release of Modern Horizons 2, with some voices even comparing it to the “Golden Age” of Legacy. After checking with...

For the final episode of the year, the full triforce assembles once again, as we get military clearance to have Matt back on the cast. In the first part of today's show, we try to stay on the topic of Julian almost qualifying for the Pro Tour through the Legacy Showcase Qualifier, playing the weirdest version of Elves to date, but the conversation escalates the most absurd discussion of the year.....

Alex 'Vivarus' McKinley joins Callum & Julian to celebrate his recent win in the Eternal Weekend Vintage Mox Emerald Championship. Alex and his crew applied specific principles to constructing the Grixis Tinker Breach list that guided him all the way to the trophy, and we promise only 90% of it is gonna about playing the most broken card they could find. Is Preordain secretly the best still unrest...

It’s common knowledge among podcasters that while a lot of your time & energy is focussed on producing content, every once in a while you have to renew your “Serious Tournament Player” membership. For Julian, his was up this month so he jumped straight into the Legacy Showcase Challenge and took it down. Easy as that, right? It helps when you have a BIG FLYING DRAGON or three on your side! Join us...

Legacy is EVOLVING! Ever since Modern Horizon 2 put the formats on its head once again, with Monkeys, Dragons and Constructs running the tables, players have started adapting to this new madness that is our format now.
