MTG Grindcast

We're only a week in, but standard is...pretty good! Epiphany is fading into the margins and we can do weird grindy stuff like generating one vampire token per turn or sacrificing our clerics to pyre of heroes. Is this the standard season that will get Lee to register a BW dual land? Find out here! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

After a spookily short preview season we have the full spoiler for Crimson Vow, so you know what that means. Time for some top 5s! We're going over what we like in the set and crossing our fingers that we're not wildly wrong, lest we be held accountable and banned from creating magic the gathering content forevermore. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

We're back from Roanoke! For some, this was a wildly successful invitational weekend. For others, this was a wildly successful CubeCon. But we're back with stories to tell and, more importantly, Innistrad Crimson Vow spoilers! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

We're back, baby! This episode's out a day early because we're traveling to the SCG Invitational, and we're talking about our deck choices, final sideboard slots, and what we're looking forward to eating over the weekend. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

CCR's been hard at work playing every version of Alrund's Epiphany there is, and he's here to share everything he's learned while prepping for the invi. From tips to keep from confusing your galvanic and expressive iterations to the role of Goldspan Dragon, we're going over every inch of this weird standard deck. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Yuta!!! One of the greatest tempo players of all time just took down worlds with a completely under-the-radar deck. Goldspan dragon is back, baby!

How kind of WotC to "accidentally" leak the Worlds decks just in time for us to record! We've been putting standard through its paces and we're ready to give our takes on the decks our players brought to the table in this exciting three deck metagame, featuring monogreen, epiphany, and other. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music

Get your scariest decks together, because the SCG Invi is on Halloween AND has a vaccine mandate. What a combo! We're going through our starting places in standard and modern, and how we're going to approach our prep for this big ol PAPER duel format tournament. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Midnight Hunt is heeeere! Eldraine is gone for good! We're talking standard, with a little sprinkling of draft because we can't help ourselves. But mostly standard! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

The Hunt is here! And Eldraine is gone! We go through our top 5s in each color from Magic's spookiest new set, celebrating how playable each card is in a world without Bonecrusher Giant or Emergent Ultimatum. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

It's spoiler season! Again! Time to look at some werewolves and some vampires and some zombies gah Innistrad is back, baby! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

This week we're checking in on Magic's online-est format to see how historic is starting to shape up with the new Jumpstart release. Is creativity too powerful for the format? Do tribal decks have a shot? All this and more (but the more is also magic the gathering related). Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

It's vintage this week, so we invited Jarvis over to give us an update on magic's goofiest format! But first we have to spend some time talking about the possibilities of Yakuza Moonfolk and whether WotC can pull of an anti-war story with The Brothers' War. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

There's nothing going on this week! So we've prepared a lovely mix of weekend modern anecdotes, cube thoughts, and listener questions! We'll be back with our hard hitting journalism next week, but for now just come vibe with us. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

How many sets can be spoiled at the same time? I think it's, like, a lot of sets. So many. And we're great at keeping track of them all! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Lee just top 8'd a paper modern tournament! And Jumpstart 2: Historic Boogaloo is going to make historic, uh, a lot like modern. So Lee will probably be great at that too! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

We're hearthstone now baby! Conjuring, seeking, perpetually weeping: it's time to complain. Ok, we're actually pretty ok with this stuff, except for the distribution model. But what's a description without a little drama? Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

Zach's here! And he's been back at it, testing a ton of paper modern so we thought we'd sit down with him ahead of this week's modern Manatraders tournament. This week we're talking through some of his favorite decks in the format, some unexplored strategies, and how to beat Hammertime! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

We're back! And we're, uh, super excited about Dungeons and Dragons. Ok, that's not exactly true. But if you want to hear WHY we're not excited about Dungeons and Dragons, look no further than our constructed set review! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

This week! With paper magic finally returning we're looking at the format from a fresh perspective: how do you buy back into the format without throwing your money away? The format's been a minefield of bans and strategies that get left behind, so we want to help give you some confidence before you send in your order. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

This week! We're joined by special guest Sean Hunter to chat about all the nonsense that MH2 has brought to Modern and to Pauper. We laugh, we tell jokes, we complain about Organized Play. It's fun! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

We've got a couple weekends of challenges to talk about and while Modern isn't exactly settling down, we're getting an idea of what's good enough and what isn't. Maybe you aren't supposed to play Urza's Saga in UW control. But maybe if you play Brainstone... Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music

Modern Horizons 2 is here! And we've got a full 3 hour episode talking about our top cards from the set, from free spells to lands that make free creatures to creatures that cast free spells. Don't miss this epic saga! Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

We've got a persistent preview schedule going and we're back with even more pitch elementals and weird artifact things and suspend versions of old broken cards (and we will not be talking about Faithless Salvaging). Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

It's Lee's favorite time of year: Modern Horizons spoiler season! We've got some bonkers stuff, some commander plants, and a wild and wacky future for modern. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!
