Two mages with diametrically opposed worldviews go head to head, and only one incredibly handsome and articulate one who loves islands will come out ahead. It’s Red Mage Blue Mage time!

In Filthy Casuals Review, Kenny and Seth play a game where they try to predict how Magic professionals (Marshall Sutcliffe and Luis Scott-Vargas from Limited Resources) will grade all the new cards from the latest set, in this case The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. Today we see how we did and talk in depth about the cards we diverged on, as well as the lessons we learned | Review begins (10:45) The post Filthy Casuals Review The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. It's been far too long. Phyrexia All Will Be Two-Drops sent me into a bit of an existential spiral, and it took the likes of LSV saying this might be the literal Greatest Of All Time limited format to tempt me back in. Oh, and also the fact that I accidentally made Seth pay for this draft. The post The Classic | MTG ASMR | March of the Machine Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.

The fastest format in Arena history, highly dependent on winning the die roll, aggressive to a fault, filled with bomby bombs—Phyrexia All Will Be One certainly had a lot of things working against it. But was it really all that bad? Kenny and Seth react in this Extra Turn. The post Phyrexia All Will Be DONE | Magic Chat appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. Depending on who you ask, Phyrexia All Will Be One ranges from ‘utter trash' to ‘umm actually not that bad if you've played 200 drafts.' Today I'm going back to the only thing that works for me: white/black toxic. The post This Is the Way | MTG ASMR | Phyrexia All Will Be One Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. I hear that blue really sucks in ONE, so of course I couldn't resist hoovering up every blue rare and cobbling together this monstrosity. But the question still stands: WILL IT MILL? The post Will It Mill? II | MTG ASMR | Phyrexia All Will Be One Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. It's been a minute hasn't it? Seth took a long hiatus, but like the McRib, he's back, and he's bringing a sweet and tangy red/white build in Phyrexia: All Will Be One. The post Jor Kadeez Nuts | MTG ASMR | Phyrexia All Will Be One Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.

You've seen his Command, now it's time for the man himself. And we've encased him in a mono-black shell, topped off with a Corrupt and a Portal to Phyrexia.

Happy holidays! I didn't see you there. I'm still trying to make aggro work in The Brothers' War (or work in general, really). We're back on our Penregon Strongbull bull, but with a little extra Christmas spice in the form of Queen Kayla bin-Kroog. Will we get even a single activation in? Join me.

Why hello. I didn't see you there. I hear tell that this Penregon Strongbull is pretty strong, no bull.

Why hello. I didn't see you there. I'm trying to live the dream and draft outside the bun with a janky mill deck. But the question remains: WILL? IT? MILL? The post Will It Mill? | MTG ASMR | The Brothers' War Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. Who would've thought that a format with 10-mana artifacts at common would be pure aggro? Not me! Yet here we are, and here I am drafting 2-mana 2/1s. Can we find victory with the most average aggro deck of all time? The post Brothers' War Is Aggro | MTG ASMR | The Brothers' War Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.

It's the first ever Three Kings edition of Red Mage Blue Mage! Kenny is joined by frequent guest Seth and Geekspective's own Josh to do a big roundup of the last few months of MTG news. Kenny also grills these finance bros on how collectability and whales affect the game. The post MTG Finance and 30th Anniversary | Three Kings Discuss | Magic Chat appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. It's time to try something brand new in this format. No more blue. Now we're forcing Domain and seeing what happens. It can't get any worse, right? Right? The post The Suffering | MTG ASMR | Dominaria United Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. Humankinds's fate is like that of the animals; the same format awaits them both: as one drops in rank, so does the other. All have the same breath; the mythic has no advantage over the bronze. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Join me?

Why hello. I didn't see you there. We Filthy Casuals have yet to break down the myriad ways we misapprehended Dominaria United, but Kenny is itching to get the stink of the last few formats off his glistening hide. So let's kick it old school with some blue/red tempo! The post Speedrunning Dominaria United | MTG ASMR | Dominaria United Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. Dominaria United is on the way, yet we still have more time to kill before the limited drought of ‘22 comes to an end. No fear! Seth is here with another juicy Arena draft. The only thing that can stop this guy is a shaky wifi connection.

Why hello. I didn't see you there. We had a regular old blastie playing the Chromatic Cube on MTG Arena. Now Seth is saying that the Arena Cube is even better? You be the judge as Seth sniffs out a wide open lane at his draft table. The post Open Lane, Open Heart, Can't Lose | MTG ASMR | Arena Cube Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. I guess Arena has officially admitted that Streets of New Capenna isn't worth drafting anymore. Fair enough. But can Baldur's Gate make up for Streets? I guess the title of this episode is a spoiler. The post Baldur's Gate Is Dogwater | MTG ASMR | Baldur's Gate Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. We're still Cubing it up Chromatic style, and I'm looking to go big with this one. We grabbed every extra-turn spell and every duplication effect we could find, and then on top of that we got passed Mizzix's Mastery. Will we live the dream and take all the turns?

It's 67 days (time of recording) until #MTGCapenna rotates out, and the Lords of Limited have already done their sunset show. We could all use a breath of fresh air, and what better way than diving for the first time into the Arena Chromatic Cube, a baffling wonderland of 4-color spells, ramp, and legendary creatures.

Our gracious guest Seth has spoiled us with a surprise—12 crispy packs of #MTGCapenna! We're sitting down to bust open packs the good old fashioned way and build sealed decks. SPOILERS: we're both putting white, blue, and green cards in our decks. The post Ok Brokers v Busted Brokers | Streets of New Capenna Sealed Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. In our Filthy Casual Review, Seth figured that #MTGCapenna would be the Dark Knight Rises to Kamigawa's Dark Knight, but it's looking more like a Batman v Superman. No matter. Join Seth as he strings together more of that juicy blue/white goodness. The post Fish Bowl | MTG ASMR | Streets of New Capenna Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. We tried to switch things up in #MTGCapenna by drafting something that wasn't Brokers. We drafted Maestros, and look how that ended up. Well, no more funny business. Just super normal serious Brokers business from now on. Join me? The post Back to Business | MTG ASMR | Streets of New Capenna Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. For the first time in #MTGCapenna, I'm straying away from the one true path of Brokers. Is there anything else worth drafting in this format? Can a synergy/buildaround deck measure up? How many A+ bombs can I face in a single draft? Care to find out? Join me.... The post Crap Maestros | MTG ASMR | Streets of New Capenna Gameplay appeared first on Geekspective.
Why hello. I didn't see you there. The community has unanimously agreed that Brokers is far and away the best faction in #MTGCapenna. And as far as I can see, despite the table fighting over Brokers, there's still enough Brokers to Brokers around. Even without pulling big rares, I still managed to Broker my way to Brokers, Brokering the Broker until even Broker Broker. Broker me?

Why hello. I didn't see you there. A new set is upon us, and I'm perhaps a little too eager as I dive in feet first into the complex and wonderful world of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty.
