    Hello and welcome to the Homebrew Magic pocast!   First, a little heads-up; when recording this episode we didn't know one of the PCs had their speakers active, which resulted in a weird quirk where we didn't hear anything out of the ordinary while we were recording, but once Nelson went to edit, a little echo was heard at the end of Nelson and Teej's sentences, so bear with us this week and we'll have it straightened back out next week. Yeah, I said next week because we're finally back to doing this regularly now that Nelson isn't a transient anymore! Beyond housekeeping, this week we talk about Double Masters, specifically VIP packs, and a really cool Commander product we found and played with from Curio Cavern in Virginia!   Curio Cavern Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/curiocav/ Nelson's Curio Cavern Deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/739593#Curio_Cavern_Spirits Schnell's Curio Cavern Deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/741454#Fogigaaz Teej's Curio Cavern Deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/631390#Curio_Cavern_Mystery_Commander

What are it's strengths? Does it have inherent weaknesses? Be sure to listen to find out! Next month we'll have a spotlight for blue.

    Hello and welcome to the Homebrew Magic podcast! Just one week after the three of us were finally back together, we're down one man again with Schnell sitting this week out.

    Hello and welcome to the Homebrew Magic podcast! This week we're all about that War of the Spark teaser that Wizards dropped on us late last week. Listen and speculate in real-time with us as we click through the trailer, analyzing as many window panes as possible. Will planeswalkers be printed at rarities other than mythic? Will each pack of War of the Spark have a planewalker in it, much like Dominaria had a legendary creature in each pack? All of this and more is covered this week! You may notice the outro is said by Nelson about three times before he finally gets it right, but he couldn't edit the bloopers out because the jokes were too good. We hope you have a good laugh at his expense! What do you guys think we're in store for when War of the Spark finally drops? Let us know in the comments, or at one of our social channels, @homebrewmagic on Facebook or Instagram!

    Hello and welcome to the Homebrew Magic podcast! This week we're a little short-handed with Teej off on official bowling business, so Schnell and Nelson are here to talk about something that grinds their gears - overused Commanders (and the people constantly asking "the Hivemind" the same questions every time you see a post in a Facebook group). Rather than gush over Commanders like Atraxa, Scion of the Ur Dragon, Breya, etc., we take some time to run down our top 5 un-heralded and less run Commanders. What do you think of our lists? Who did we leave out? Who shouldn't be on our lists? Let us know in the comments, and be sure to tune in next week when we discuss the new Ravnica Allegiance Guild Kits before they release on 2/15/19!

    Hello and welcome to the Homebrew Magic podcast! We're back after a brief hiatus due to scheduling conflicts and Packers games (but we won't talk about that here, still not over losing to the Bears). We're back this week with the discussion on formats that it seems like we've been teasing forever! One of the coolest aspects of Magic: The Gathering is that the game can be, and is, played under a variety of formats, including, but not limited to, Standard, EDH, Brawl, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, Draft, Sealed, Rainbow Stairwell, Two-Headed Giant, and Archenemy. We'll take a deeper dive into the most popular formats in future episodes, but join us this week as we take a brief at just what each format entails, along with our favorite and not-so-favorite formats. As always, please be sure to rate, review, and subscribe, and find us on or social channels on Facebook and Instagram with the handle @homebrewmagic.
