Dies To Removal

Hey look, it's Streets Of New Capenna, a Magic world set in a city ruled by gangsters, corruption, and valuing money, profit, and power over all else. What better time to talka about NFTs, Hedge Funds And Shareholders Money in relation to Magic: The Gathering.

The Future Of Magic: The Gathering Is Not What We Thought.

Do you prefer Throne of Eldraine to Crimson Vow? War Of The Spark to Zendikar Rising? Today, Vince and I discuss if it is better to have powerful but broken Magic: The Gathering sets, or weak but balanced ones.

From Modern Horizons to Lord Of The Rings to Arena Alchemy to Commander Legends, Magic The Gathering seems to be trying to make most if not all of its formats rotate. Vince and Prof talk about what they see happening and how they feel about it.

The newest Dies To Removal episode was just posted to my YouTube, but if you haven't heard this old one, here it is for your listening pleasure!

Look at me! We are one episode away from being 100% up to date. Commander, something, something, old man, something, British guy.

Discussing the addition of Historic Horizons to Magic Arena and the impact it might have.

We're almost caught up, folks. New episode of Dies To Removal just posted to the YouTube channel but I am almost caught up on the backlog here!

They reprinted fetch lands! Forget any other set that came before it, because Modern Horizons 2 is all that matters in Magic, and Prof and Vince will tell you what they really think!

Our attempt at a Live! show, this was originally streamed on my Twitch and then uploaded to Vince's YouTube channel. I'll be up to date real soon, but if you are itching for new Dies To Removal, I just posted a new episode a few days ago on my YouTube!

They Reprinted Black Lotus in Commander Legends? Jeweled Lotus? Vince has a YouTube channel?

Yes, I know I am (checks notes) a year behind updating these. I will be putting the rest of the DTR library up here over the next week and then, I promise, keeping it up to date.

Talk to me, bruh. Yeah, you want to Double Master your investment portfolio, bruh? Here our dude's Vince and The Prof go over everything wrong with that.

I sit down with Olivia Gobert-Hicks of the Commander Advisory Group to discuss potential changes to the rules of Commander.

The Professor and Vince discuss the rising cost of Magic: The Gathering. Is this game getting more expensive?

Why is Modern actually cheaper than Standard, and just how much does this game really cost?

Tolarian Community College is visited by Ari Nieh of Wizards of the Coast R&D. The Professor and Vince get to grill him about all things white mana. Is white falling behind in the color pie?

You know your Commander deck needs more UUMPH! but you don't know how to streamline it! How do you identify cards that are not performing? How do you know which cards to swap them out for? This episode teaches you everything about streamlining and synergizing your EDH / Commander Magic: The Gathering deck for optimal gameplay!

Competitive Commander or cEDH is one of the fastest growing Magic: The Gathering communities. In today's episode, I have invited Ryan Street of Playing With Power, the #1 Competitive Commander gameplay YouTube channel, to come sit and tell me everything I ever wanted to know about cEDH but was too afraid to ask.

Many Magic: The Gathering players ask the question, how do you keep your games of Commander casual? What even is Casual Commander? Special guest Shivam Bhatt of 'Casual Magic' joins The Professor to talk his personal philosophy of what it means to keep games and decks casual.

Commander might be a casual, fun gameplay MTG format, but that doesn't mean Magic: The Gathering players don't make a lot of common mistakes when it comes to deck building, gameplay, and other aspects of EDH. Today I am joined by the one and only Emma Handy to discuss the most common mistakes that Magic: The Gathering players make.

Let's play every MTG player's favorite game! That's right, it's time for "What's Ruining Magic: The Gathering Today?"

Vince and The Prof discuss a hypothetical scenario where Wizards of the Coast decides to phase out marketing/support for paper Magic. What does the world look like when all marketing of MTG is digital, and what signs would you see on the road to here?
