It's our first week on our new biweekly format and we're still getting the hang of things. Luckily, we didn't have to find something to talk about. WotC waltzed in and vomited a big news article onto our new biweekly rug. So, now we have to clean it up or, at least, discuss and complain about it. ....that rug really tied the room together.

As soon as the decks for Worlds were posted Magic players started building them and testing them for themselves. Now that we know which decks have come out on top, and with a recent Standard rotation, the Metagame has started to settle down again. Don't worry.

It's that time again! As the summer fades, as children go back to school, as you enjoy the last days of swimming weather, a new format is coalescing. D&D has been around a few weeks now and we feel like we have an understanding of the new metagame. At least, Donovan understands it and he can explain it to the rest of us.

This week on Planeswalkers Anonymous Duncan and Donovan take a look at the new D&D set one card at a time. We don't mention every single card but we talk about enough of them to create this mega episode. It's over three hours of Magic cards. We talked about splitting these review shows up and releasing it as several average length episodes, in the future.

Well, we all wondered if Modern Horizons II was going to have the same kind of impact on Modern the first Modern Horizons did. This week, Donovan tries to answer that question.
