MTG Grindcast

This week! We're joined by Jesse Robkin and going over approximately a bajillion pioneer tournament results as the past two weeks saw the rise of fair Lotus Field, Crackling Drake, and, oh yeah, monogreen is still great. Plus, join us as we manage to talk more about the Gollum game than any actual Lord of the Rings cards! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Regionals is almost here, and Chris and Collins are hanging out in an echoey room, talking about the pioneer format days before the tournament. Come hang out! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music

This week! We're walking through the Pioneer format, including the latest and greatest successor to Hogaak in the "putting 14 power on the board on turn 2" class of decks. Is convoke real? Who knows! We also dive into the Gearhulk Creativity deck CCR's been investing a ton of time into. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

It's a super serious, very prepared episode this time around! We do update you on pioneer, what we've been impressed by and less impressed by lately, and try not to spend toooooo much time talking twitter and other nonsense. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

A lot to talk about this week! From a hell of a standard PT to an extra year of Fable of the Mirrorbreaker in standard to some spicy pioneer brews to Magic's newest, weirdest set. Come hang out! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music

We're talking pioneer! Polukranos is here, blocking fliers and generally making everyone's life miserable against monogreen. We've also been Magma Opusing, Lotus Fielding, and Rakdos'ing and we share what we've picked up over the last couple weeks. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

We're back with our Top 5s for March of the Machine! Which praetor lands on top? Which removal spells did we begrudgingly add to our list? Why are the blue cards so bad? All this and more! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music

Ok, not exactly preview season since the cards are out and legal. But we had to take a break for regionals, so we're doing some remedial card previews. Lee even likes a white card this time! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Regionals weekend has come and gone and the storyline has big plot twists at the end of standard season. Blade of Shared Souls makes its debut and Rakdos reanimator finally comes into its own. We're breaking down what has proven to be a fantastic standard format. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Collins is back! (again)And this time he's sharing his takes on standard in the run-up to US Regionals. We go over your best bet between Rakdos and Grixis, his preferred build of monowhite, and everywhere you can get an edge in this format. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

China and Canada both had RCs this weekend, presenting wildly different metagames. We look at the lists and check out how (and why) we got here. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

With Shadows over Innistrad (kind of) coming out on Arena and an upcoming Explorer qualifier season, we take a look at Magic's oddest format, where some pioneer decks are allowed to rampage untouched, and others are missing key pieces that keep them from existing. Can anything keep up with Rakdos cards? Probably not, but we talk about the options! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

This week! Join us to talk about TCGPlayer's union and management's lame response, legacy bans, standard after three more RCs and, of course, Lord of the Rings spoilers. It's a full one so get hype! Thanks as always to Wave sunray for our music

This week! Nick Price joins us fresh off of his SEA Regionals top 8 run! We're talking about RCQ structure, playing magic in the Philippines, and lots of standard! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Standard is pretty good, and it's the next RC format! This rare combination of quality and relevance has brought Collins out of retirement, so he stopped by to talk about his San Diego prep. Plus! CCR's RCQ win with 5x Wall of Omens. Don't miss this one! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

This week we're getting deep into the weeds on both pioneer in the wake of the Pro Tour and also for some reason all of the worst cards Jesse has registered in tournaments. We are...not the best at staying on topic. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music

Bobinchese is back on the cast, talking about his first time preparing for a PT draft, why he's not playing enchanties this weekend, and a tight five on why Atraxa is so good. Come get ready for battle! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

We're here with our classic top 5s (or top 3 in the case of red in this set) episode! Do we believe in poison counters? How many green seven drops will we try to jam into a single deck? All this and more! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music

More cards! From six mana planeswalkers to seven mana planeswalkers, this preview episode has it all! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

New cards! From swords to 4 color angels to incredibly cool dragons that they're not letting us play with, there's a lot of neat stuff in the new set. So let's talk about it! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Our war correspondent is back, with fresh information from the field after finishing 2nd at NRG champs! Jesse's here to share about her testing process, modern and pioneer, and the ins and outs of a 3 hour finals match. Come hang out! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music

Join us as we do the requisite looking back on the sets of this past year, and forward to Phyrexia, the Flesh Well, Organized Play, and hopefully more record-breaking booster pack prices. Happy New Year! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

This week, we're talking about practice. Ashe joins us to talk about the way magic players practice and why it's...so bad. And what we can do to improve it! Maybe. Potentially. Change is hard. But we believe in you, more than we believe in ourselves. Ashe's article: https://shuddermtg.substack.com/p/how-bad-practice-can-make-you-worse-085 Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

This week! We're joined again by Jesse Robkin to talk all things Modern and the upcoming NRG champs! Unfortunately not as much tierlist discussion as you might hope, but still a good episode. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

There's drama afoot, and we're here to lightly acknowledge it and move along! Lukewarm takes abound as we take on a 24-hour spoiler season, Explorer Anthology 2, and a mechanic called *checks notes* "taking the initiative. Fun! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music
