Ryan Spain, now the Creative Director of Magic Online at Daybreak Games, returns to The Dive Down to talk about the transition of MTGO from WOTC to Daybreak, goals and hopes for the platform's future, and the realities of managing such monolithic software.

Yes we are on the Eve of Star Wars Celebration, and that means talking about star wars as little as possible until after the show. But no worries, we have Mission Impossible to talk about, and Stranger Things, Umbrella Academy, Pokémon and more.

From the far flung future in 2022, 2 nerds talk about an antique card game! Matt and Jake find some pretty cool decks in this week's legacy top 8 even though the meta is still not the greatest. Modern has a few real zingers in its top 8 as well, and it even looks like grixis shadow might be moving out, but only time will tell. After the meta recaps there's a lot of good news to cover this week. SCG has announced 3 HUGE SCGCON weekends, WOTC hired a new DIrector of Play Programs, and MTGO is under new management. The Year is opening up with a lot of new opportunities and we are super excited about them! Contact us or check out our social media!

The crew discusses a ton of news ranging from Daybreak Games taking over MTGO to the cost of Modern, before answering #MTGFishmail.

This week, Bill and Dan nerd out about the possibilities of Satoru Umezawa in Modern and briefly discuss Innistrad Double Feature and Daybreak Games taking over development for MTG Online.Follow the show on Twitter: https://twitter.com/stmtgpodcast Join our Discord Server at https://discord.gg/krVVhFxrRk Our theme music is “Ale and Anecdotes” by Darren Curtis.

For the final episode of the year, the full triforce assembles once again, as we get military clearance to have Matt back on the cast. In the first part of today's show, we try to stay on the topic of Julian almost qualifying for the Pro Tour through the Legacy Showcase Qualifier, playing the weirdest version of Elves to date, but the conversation escalates the most absurd discussion of the year..thus far. Once things get back on track we dive deeper into one of the highest-profile/stakes event of the year, as Callum rediscovers his desire to crush the MTGO meta. Someone brings up Siege Rhino. For the second half of the cast, we discover the three of the biggest news items in Legacy and/or Magic as a whole. The one that completely blindsided everyone surely was Wizards of the Coast selling(?) MTGO and everything that comes with it to Daybreak Games - a company both famous for killing off dying games BUT ALSO rejuvenating games stuck in a dead-end. Only time will tell where MTGO will be headed under their leadership, but Julian has a revolutionary idea of what this might actually mean for the MTGO economy. We also cover all the upcoming big Paper events, and why everybody's favourite lazy Sunday afternoon activity is about to come back. 00:04:50 — Julians Top4's the Showcase Qualifier with Elves 00:13:35 — Stupidest Discussion of the entire Year 00:18:35 — The Allegory of the Stones 00:22:10 — We finally talk about the Showcase Qualifier 00:37:15 — Julian ALMOST Q'ed for the Pro Tour! 00:42:05 — No Quirion Ranger AND no Nettle Sentinel?! 00:44:45 — WotC parts ways with Magic Online, WUT?! 01:01:35 — NRG & SCG Tournaments Announced 01:09:05 — The Impact of Alchemy Showcase Challenge Top24 Decklists Julian's Elves List Kanister's BR Reanimator List NRG Series Announcement NRS Series Championship - Bo5 Format Explained SCG Tournaments Announcement Daybreak Games Takes Over MTGO What is Alchemy? Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show! Until next time, Julian

Dave and MJC have come out of Thanksgiving/Black Friday alive and it appears the gaming industry is still on holiday, but there's still some cool news.

In this episode we discuss the failure of the Vanu Lubrication Depot, the upgrades granted to high velocity ammunition, the plague of stat padders, and the fact that Auraxis is apparently run by hamsters!

[YouTube Version] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9ibfCzZgh8 A short joke recording intended to sound like a radio show being given to the people of Auraxis. Not entirely sure whether breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging the players as being part of a game is going to become a thing or if something closer to Night Vale is in order. Then again I'm not entirely sure if I'll continue recording these! Yes, I did deepen the pitch of my voice artificially. I was trying to imitate one of the voice packs and failed.
