MTG In Quarantine

An episode where I discuss what I enjoy about variance in Commander/EDH and how building unique decks keeps me playing this great game.

Ever wanted to have one of your MTG-related questions answered by a content creator? Now's your chance! I want to hear from you, the listeners, regarding your questions about upcoming sets, my personal EDH/Commander decks, my opinions on topics that I have already discussed, or any other MTG topic (within reason, of course - I'm not Mark Rosewater!). Send your MTG-related questions (no off-topic q...

With the release of the new Zendikar Rising set, many EDH players are left wondering if Mass Land Destruction needs to be a new staple in their decks to hose Lands Matters decks.  I lay out my reasoning for why this is an overreaction since no one deck dominates the format and because MLD is frowned upon for a reason in most play groups since it sets everyone back, not just those abusing thei...

My brief thoughts on the new Zendikar Rising set.

My thoughts regarding calls from the MTG Community for Wizards of the Coast to remove the Reserved List of cards.

This episode of the "What I Like About" series looks at 60-card constructed decks with no organized format in mind - just playing with 60 random cards that you threw together and call a "deck".  It's how I started playing Magic, and still influences how I build my Commander/EDH decks to this day. You can find me on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine as well as on Spotify.

Today's Fun Size Spotlight focuses on Spellgorger Weird, a 2/2 common from War of the Spark! I like this card in any deck that runs red as a color because it can build up slowly into a huge threat just by playing other spells! You can find me on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine as well as on YouTube.  Also check out my work on Spotify.

This is an episode where I diverge from my usual content to discuss how negativity and hypocrisy in the MtG community is toxic and must be addressed for this great game to endure and appeal to everyone.  These thoughts are unfiltered and unedited.

Today's Fun Size Spotlight focuses on Rising Populace, a white common from War of the Spark.  It's an underrated card in Aristocrats-style decks that include white since it grows larger every time a creature you control dies.   Listen to my work on Anchor FM and Spotify!

Today's Fun Size Spotlight highlights the blue sorcery card, Prosperity.  It's a card that I used in my first real Commander deck (with a Sultai Mill/Wheels theme) because of its flexibility to not only draw me cards, but also force my opponents to draw cards as well. Make sure to check out my other content on YouTube and on Spotify!  I can be found at @MTGInQuarantine on Twitter. Theme...

The first episode of Fun Size Spotlight focuses on one of my favorite cards of all-time, Lazotep Reaver! A staple of my earliest MtG decks from when I began playing the game, the Reaver has always had a special place in my decks running black.  The Spotlight covers its inclusion in my decks as well as why a 1/2 for 2 mana that gives two bodies is worth it. Please check out my YouTube and Twit...

The first episode of the Triple Threat Deck Challenge follows me as I build a Selesnya (Green and White) EDH/Commander deck with Asmira, Holy Avenger as my Commander.  The deck seeks to use strong and cheap enchantments with good Enter the Battlefield effects to maximize value, and has ways to recur those cards back from the graveyard. We also want to build a large token army that we can eith...

Episode One of the "What I Like About" series, I delve into the reasons why I really enjoy playing with or against Chaos Cards, specifically Scrambleverse and Warp World. Often viewed with disdain because they disrupt board states, I make the argument that they should be given a chance in Commander as the enjoyable and variable cards they were designed to be.   The "What I Like About" series...

Hi there! Welcome to the MTG In Quarantine podcast - I'm your host, MJ. I wanted to use this introduction episode to explain a little bit about my background with MTG and what I hope to accomplish with this podcast and this channel. With a lot of negatives within the game currently dividing the MTG player base, I figured that it was necessary to take a step back from these issues and look at thing...
