The Spike Feed

Standard, Pioneer, Alchemy and more. 2022 is upon us and we go through our lists of things we would like to see and some of the stuff we would care not to see. We also take a look at some of our favorite video games of 2021. Thank you for your honor.

We wrap up the year taking a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly. We also talk a little about Pioneer. And we review Spiderman and Wheel of Time. Happy Holidays! And thank you for your honor.

Here’s a link to the article we referenced

Suit up for a long conversation about Alchemy. We have some…complaints about the new format. The Silver lining is that we have a brief discussion on the state of Legacy and take a look at a few Modern Horizon’s II cards that are kind of interesting. We also give our reactions to Hawkeye and the Wheel of Time series. Thank you for your honor.

After a very happy Thanksgiving, we discuss Tabletop Commander and Standard. We take a look at the aftermath of MTG Vegas and ask what future events should look like.

We are fully into Standard and we take a look at the current metagame. Thalia continues to be a great Magic the Gathering card while Alrund’s Epiphany has kind of sort of fallen settled. We ask why event coverage has been relegated to an after thought, and we talk Halo and Battlefield. Thank you for your honor.

A new set is upon us, and we give our impression in sealed and constructed. Mana is good. There are some decent aggro creatures, there might be some new archetypes, and Alrund’s Epiphany is still here. We also review a comics, a film, and Forza Horizon 5. Thank you for your honor.

After a week hiatus, we are back to talk Standard, Crimson Vow, and SCG. We also take time to talk about the film Black Rain and the HBO series Succession. Thank you for your honor.

This week we go over our experiences with Legacy and Standard and we ask if the rising prices of Standard is a good thing. We also take a look at the latest Batman trailer and talk about Dune. Thank you for your honor.

The BBRB happened last week, and we spend a good portion of the show talking about the Banned, Restricted and Rebalanced cards, and we end up going on a diatribe about Historic. We also talk more Metroid and Castelvania. Thank you for your honor.

It’s a very light news week. For an abbreviated Magic discussion, we take a look at Standard, and ask not if but when Alrund’s Epiphany sees the door What does the meta look like afterward. We also talk Castlevania, Metroid, and James Bond. Thank you for your honor.

We really just want a banned-cast. WotC, make it happen. We talk Standard (in paper form), ask if Ragavan is too good for Modern and Legacy when compared to other recently banned cards, and we also ask if Alrund’s epiphany should be shown the door. Thank you for your honor.

New standard, a major tournament, and prize gems. We go over this week’s news and announcements. We talk about Wrenn and Seven and Esika’s Chariot in the context of how the metagame is shaping up. We take a look at MTG Las Vegas and kind of celebrate Magic’s return to tournaments, and we ponder over the move to go to Matcherino for online play. Thank you for your honor.

It’s a brand new day. We’re both super excited with rotation and new standard. We take a look at Innistrad Midnight Hunt with regard with Sealed and Standard. We analyze a few cards and a few specific decks. We also talk Deathloop and Schumacher. Thank you for your honor.

Each day that Midnight Hunt releases new spoilers, the more excited we are for rotation. We say goodbye to current Standard, and we take a look a what Flesh and Blood is doing for new players and tournaments. We go over a few spoilers and we talk Bioshock and She Who Became the Sun. Thank you for your honor.

Is bluffing “Good Game” to your opponent a BM? This week, we check in on Standard, talk about bluffing, go over a few of the mechanics for Midnight Hunt. We also talk Halo 5 and Shang-Chi. Thank you for your honor.

A very quiet news week after the Magic Showcase. We go into a few conversations about Legacy, Modern Masters, and Standard. We also talk about a new sci-fi book and a video game documentary. Thank you for your honor.

We delayed recording this week’s episode until the Magic Showcase. And there’s plenty of stuff to go over. We talk about the good: from Cyberpunk Kamigawa and a return to Dominaria… To the not so good *cough* Fortnite Secret Lair. Thank you for your honor.

It was a relatively quiet week in Magic. We go deep on the various formats, Flesh and Blood, and if the constant injection of new sets is creating card fatigue. We also talk Suicide Squad and the Mass Effect Trilogy. Thank you for your honor.

This week we take a look at Flesh and Blood and ask if it can compete in the competitive space that Magic dominates. We go over the first spoiled cards from Innistrad Midnight Hunt. We also talk Woodstock 1999 and Neo Geo. Thank you for your honor.

Jumpstart: Historic was officially announced, and… we have a range of thoughts. The set itself looks decent, and it’s always great to get new cards into Arena… but digital only cards? We take a look at what this means to the future of Arena and Paper. Thank you for your honor.

Quite a bit of news happened this week. Modern Horizon’s cards coming to Historic. Brainstorm being suspended meaning you don’t get your wild cards back… We talk about the week and then give some reviews of the new He-Man and the Skyward Sword HD remake. Thank you for your honor.

Forgotten realms is finding its way into the various formats. And we take a look at Standard and paper sealed. Standard 2022 is super popular, and we ask if Wizards needs to take a look at rotating early, banning cards regularly, or allow Modern to take its place as the premiere format. We also talk video games and movies. Thank you for your honor.

The Magic crossover event of the summer is upon us. We give our initial impressions of the D&D: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms and take a look at a few cards we think will make an impact in constructed. We also give brief reviews of movies and books. Thank you for your honor.

After a week break, we’re back with our 401st episode. We talk about Legacy and Chromatic Cube. We go over the glut of news with regard to Magic Legends, Dark Alliances, and Modern Horizons on MTGO. We also talk Fast and Furious and video games. Thank you for your honor.
