Zan is hanging out with us as he shares his prep for the PT--which he says will be defined by misinformation. Come get the scoop on standard and stick around for some m21 spoilers! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

That big announcement is here and it's a wild one! A couple of bans to standard and historic, and a companion nerf to every format. But is it enough? Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Big changes for Organized Play, some of them unavoidable, some of them...extremely avoidable. Lee and CCR sit down and talk over everything that's happened in this very full week. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Collins had to sit this one out so Lee joins CCR to talk modern in a world of...Rakdos prowess and Temur Scapeshift? Plus, bans! Arena opens! And our top recommendations for video games you should play!

We're catching up on all things Modern before the Lotus Box Modern tournament this weekend! Thrill as we recite all the Lurrus and Yorion decks, gasp as we mention that Ad Nauseum is good against burn. Ok but...there actually are a lot of different Lurrus decks and we don't know what that means. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

We're looking at the pioneer meta from the second tournament in Lotus Box League's Season 1, plus the Jeskai decks making standard treacherous for any midrange player. Come hang out! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

The Lotus Box League Pioneer tournament is next week, so we're breaking down all the Lurrus decks, all the Yorion decks and, uh, the one deck without a companion you can play. Come on, we're doing the best we can with what we've got. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

They're here. It's not all just some fever dream: companions have taken over every format as quickly as they've arrived. Look, we're not JUST complaining about them but a sober discussion about their incredible power level surely is worth having, right? Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Clocking in at over three hours, it's our Ikoria constructed set review! We go over all the monsters, all the mutations, and more! You've got plenty of time to kill, so let us into your earholes for an afternoon. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Lotus Box League is a whole series now, and the Grindcast (and Jeremy) is doing coverage! Chris and Collins break down the tournament from a coverage perpsective, then go over what we've been working on in standard, modern, and pioneer. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

We're stuck inside, with no tournaments to play in or watch, so there's only one thing to be done: run our own! We're talking about the first Lotus Box Patreon Championship and what it's like playing in and doing commentary for an all-online tournament. Come hang out! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Magic, along with...everything else in the world has been disrupted. But there's no reason we can't keep talking about it! And maybe even run an online tournament or two? Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

No bans! Well, not in Pioneer at least. We're looking at what the bans will do to modern, and then spending our time talking about the handful of decks we would play in Pioneer. This episode may or may not have been recorded before Baltimore was canceled. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Abe and Collins have been working hard to figure out if this Breach deck is the real deal, just in time for Regionals! There's something there, but is it ready for primetime? Plus we're talking about all the rest of the format's bogeymen, and wildly speculating about next week's bans! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Add one more top 8 to Collins's portfolio, this time with a deck he tried his hardest not to play. But Dimir Inverter's just the best you can do in Pioneer, at least for the moment. Plus! We're getting back to modern as we prep for SCG Regionals. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

The first e-sports World Championships are all finished up, and it's hard to imagine a more deserving champion.

This week we're breaking down all the strongest strategies for winning in modern, which include +2'ing Oko, +1'ing Oko, and -5'ing Oko. Join us for our hard-hitting analysis, and maybe even a Theros preview or two! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

It's the new year! But still the same old modern, with Urza at the top of the heap. We're talking mirrors, emry vs coatl, and even a bunch of new (and extremely noteworthy) Theros spoilers. Come hang out! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.
