Once again, our producers have lost their minds and given Amber free rein over an entire episode. At the time, she was about to eat a cheeseburger, so today we’re talking about Magic: The Gathering FOOD. This episode features Chads, juice explosions, cannibalism, and curly bananas.

Kaldheim preview season is almost upon us! We’re looking at the bare few cards that have been spoiled as of the end of 2020 as well as making a few predictions for the set. This episode features Amber pronouncing Norse words, Ludwig the Accursed, and Amber’s foolish devil son.

It took us a long time to record this, but we’re finally catching up on the last month of MTG news! Today we’re discussing one of our favorite topics—Secret Lairs. It’s been one year since Secret Lairs premiered, and we’re looking at the latest superdrop as well as giving our retrospective on the first year of the product series.

It’s the consolation bracket grudge match of our latest Cube Draft Trilogy! Kenny reigns supreme, but now Troy and Erin must duke it out for who will keep their dignity and claim the honorable second place.

It’s Amber’s (fake) birthday, so she is gaining control of the podcast for the day, giving it haste, and sacrificing it at the end of turn. In particular she’s talking about the longtime print production problems that Magic has had, bringing her professional expertise to bear on the issue.

Kenny is up 1 game in the latest Cube Draft Trilogy, but a brand new contender has entered the ring. What does Erin have up her sleeves? This episode features tales of Novablast Wurms long ago, more mana rocks than God, mere Battlespheres, ONE MILLION GOBLINS, and Ken and Troy making out.

What was the greatest moment, the highest high of the Magic storyline? We tackle this question, and we dive into Cary Thomas Beckett’s article, “One Year Forsaken: How to Rebuild Magic Story.”

Today we discuss a simple but sobering question: what would it take to actually kill Magic? This episode features corporate structure, fake cards, Pokémon, Orlando Bloom, and free advice for Wizards of the Coast.

This episode features a slew of technical difficulties (including us having to rip audio from Twitch, sorry!), stress candy, truly incredible voice acting, and a return to the free-to-read Magic story!

This episode features two important and triumphant returns. First, the return of Amber and Kenny doing battle with each other on the ever-shifting planes of the multiverse! Second, and far more dreadfully, the return of a certain red/black mythic 1-drop uncommon.......

Today we’re talking about Amber’s experience with Jumpstart, Kenny’s Cube updates, and our personal top 3 favorite banned cards!

This is it! The final episode of the series! Believe it or not, after countless board wipes and betrayals, this game actually has a winner. This episode features stanky looks, British alt rock band EMF, and more Thieving Amalgams than you can shake a stick at.

Everyone in the multiverse has weighed in on WotC’s latest corporate bowel movement, Secret Lair x The Walking Dead, and we wanted to give our two cents. More importantly, we wanted to introduce our own unique angles on the discussion, untangle the aftermath, and project into the future of products in this vein.

It’s a Show and Tell episode, which means both Amber and Kenny are bringing some MTG content to discuss. Amber selected Wired’s “The Stockbrokers of Magic” while Kenny went with Mark Rosewater’s “The Future of Magic.” This episode features unscrupulous Magic financiers, Horned Triceratrons, new card frames, Goatse, and Peter Pan as a Magic card.

Part III of our epic saga sees life totals finally, finally start to dwindle. There is light at the end of this alliance-breaking, board-wiping tunnel. This episode features morph synergy, ninjas, anime betrayal, and credible threats of divorce.

Today we are creating, live and on the fly, a Magic story based entirely on suggestions from fans, and basically we wound up creating something akin to a TNG episode. This show features corn dog talk, planesbreakdancing, alien abduction, and Tony Shalhoub.

Amber and Kenny discuss the current sad state of the MTG storyline and what they would do to tell a compelling story through the medium of Magic. This episode features monster bonding, big booty turtles, Gilmore Girls, and corporate storytelling.

We’re jumping into a new series of actual play, this time a 3-player Commander free-for-all! As you would expect from multiplayer Commander, this turned into quite the sprawling game, so we’ll be releasing the game in parts. This first episode of the series leans heavy on the politics side of Commander. Whose machinations and whispers from the shadows will put them ahead early?

This episode features Avatar: The Last Airbender, the frailty of humanity, Q, and a quiz about angels in Magic: The Gathering.

So uh...how about those bans? WotC just dropped the hammer on eight decks across three different formats; this after two years that already saw more bans than in the previous two decades. What should a Magic player think about this unprecedented mess? We’re here to help! We’re talking about what makes these bans so historic, what they mean going forward, and whether paper Magic is long for this wo...
