Everyday Eternal Podcast

In keeping with 2020's global theme, we invited Belgian Infect aficionado Sam Dams to the show tonight. And by that we mean: there has been an overwhelming amount of requests for him through the entire year on both our Patreon Discord and Twitter. No surprise though, given how Sam has made a name for himself as arguably the most prolific Infect pilot since the heydays of Tom Ross! Together we expl...

On today's show Callum and Julian discuss one of the hottest decks in the format: call it RUG Uro, Temur Denial or - like a cultured person - Poke Pile! Jeff "Pokemoki" White recently released this absolute beast of a deck onto the Legacy scene, and it's been putting up insanely good numbers in the hands of a lot of people. It's also one of the most controversial and misunderstood decks right now,...

On today's show, Callum dives deeper on his Shark Control list he just Top4'ed the Legacy Challenge with. Did Standstill get cut just to improve the name of the deck even further, or are there actual gameplay considerations behind this? In any case, Shark Control is really making its pressence felt in the format and might just be the kind of Control deck blue mages have been longing for ever since...

Coming fresh off a Legacy Challenge win, Kyle Moran introduces Callum and Julian to how he turned one of the biggest meme decks in the history of Vintage and Legacy into a real deck! Not only can this deck draw the game (in paper) at almost any point, it's also got the possibility to win the game out of almost entirely nowhere! Kyle's positive energy is absolutely captivating and makes for an abso...

Goblins used to consistently terrorize the top tables during the early years of Legacy, but eventually faded into obscurity. Recently it's been growing in both popularity and success again, so we invited one of the premier Goblin kings to the cast to discuss which key additions have made the deck viable again. Eli "goblinlackey1" Goings teaches Callum, Matt and Julian about the ways of the Goblins...

Callum, Matt and Julian come together to discuss Wizards of the Coast's "patch" of the Commander Companion mechanic and whether they still believe any of them to be viable now. Callum and Julian then get lost into a wine/beer-fueled praise of - you guessed it - Esper Vial and how it carried Julian to a Top16 in the Team Lotus Box Legacy 1.5k. Also, will Yorio still be a thing in Legacy, or is it g...

With Lurrus and Zirda banned in record pace, Legacy initially looked to revert back to its pre-Ikoria state. But is it really? Callum, Julian and their guest Max Gilmore explore the biggest questions we all face right now: is Snowko gonna take over again? And if so, how many cards is it gonna play? And which kind of room is there to punish the seemingly unpunishable deck? Also find out which deck...

Turns out Bob’s still got it! Last weekend he took down the SCG Classic in Richmond with Slow Depths. The deck is certainly making its case for being arguably the best thing to do in Legacy right now – but Bob remains sceptical.
