We had a whole show planned but that has gone out the window since Expressive Iteration and White Plume Adventurer were banned from Legacy. Joe Dyer joins us the show to help break down what Legacy will look like going forward as well what decks have the most to gain from the 2 top decks key pieces.

This took us all by surprise! A new B'n'R announcement was published today and we have Expressive Iteration and White Plume Adventurer banned from Legacy. Listen to our Shortcast for initial thoughts on it!

While Kai still tries to resolve his identity crisis by adding Expressive Iteration to every deck under the sun, Callum considers bringing back old faithful for 4Seasons Vintage. Because who doesn't remember Goblin Welder's reign of terror back in the day? Meanwhile Julian actually got to ONLY NOW play with Chaos Defiler in a real tournament, as he Top8s Et Cetera Freising. In the second half of the show, we cover all the recent developments in Legacy, as the community heads into yet another massive 4Seasons in Bologna this weekend. We also go about which decks we are going to play in the event(s), and why Doomsday has given Kai so much brain damage, he is no longer able to properly play it on consecutive days. What a noob. Favourite story of the day: Callum's played a deck that terrible at his last event, even the judges suggested he should make some changes - and made a special ruling to allow him to do so. 00:00:35 — Kai Gets Misdirected 00:19:05 — Callum Goes To War 00:28:35 — Julian Top8s Et Cetera 00:41:35 — Viable Budget Decks? 00:49:35 — Callum's Judge Call 00:56:25 — The State of Legacy & New/Rediscovered Cards 01:16:45 — Snuff Out, Atraxa, Spelldance & More Our 4Seasons Travel Vlog Legacy Data Collection - Metagame Report 2023 DNSolver's 8Cast Painter Johannes Gutbrod's Jeskai Tokens Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Matt and Jake made it back to the same room to look at the legacy challenge. It looks ok but that's with the grain of salt that it is half combo. The overall meta is still pretty dominated by delver and initiative so we will see if anything changes in the coming weeks. Jake runs through a modern challenge and totally misses the super qualifier proving again that it's amateur hour.

Magic can be tough. Trying to understand the board state is a challenge. Battling the noise of the venue and navigating an unknown city on little sleep can keep you disoriented and overwhelmed but at least you're playing Magic. Eventually you locate your name on the pairings board and find your way to your chair. Your opponent is friendly. They ask where you're from, how long you've been playing, and are you on Twitter. You exchange socials and play your match. You trade creatures. Counter spells counter. The battlefield whittles away until you're left on empty. You draw an Expressive Iteration and reload next turn for a huge next turn. Your opponent draws a Underworld Breach and suddenly their Mishra's Bauble makes trip after trip from the graveyard to the battlefield and back again. You opponent ends the turn with 5 new cards in hand and easily wins the game from there. You're upset you lost but you're okay with the game. You replay it to see if there's anything you could have improved upon. Maybe a more aggressive attack on turn 3. Using Unholy Heat instead of Lightning Bolt would have been relevant. If only you could have emptied the graveyards. Then you realize: you did empty the graveyard! Your Relic emptied everything on turn 5 or 6. Right? Was that last game? At the very least, your opponent exiled the cards. They at least touched the cards. The more you review the story in your mind, the more difficult it is to remember the specifics. By the time the next round starts, you're still not sure if the game ended the way it was supposed to end. This week Billy and Mapson discuss how large of a role miscommunication plays in Magic, how it can border on cheating, and what you can do to prevent less than savory situations from happening in your games.

What can Izzet decks in Pioneer play instead of Expressive Iteration? How crazy was the MOCS meta from the weekend? Is Glimpse of Tomorrow a good card in Modern? This week's show answers these questions and more in a format-spanning Dive Down of takes hot and cold. But first, off the top we deliver a little announcement about the future of The Dive Down (nothing big, we swear — but you should listen). Shane doesn't even need Nykthos. Stan can quit cascading any time he wants to. Dave actually seems to get mad about something.

It's a hot one on The Dive Down this week. We take a deep look at NRG's recent set of Modern and Pioneer Trials in Lansing, Michigan and tackle the big questions about our favorite formats. Is 4c too good for Modern? What can even be done if it is too good? What's happened to Pioneer without Winota and Expressive Iteration? How many words can the three of us get beeped out in one episode? And more! Stan fights through jet lag and still brings the insights. Shane loves talking about bad decks that performed badly. And, finally, Dave gets his comeuppance.

It's another banned cast. Slightly unexpected, but we discuss the impact of Winota and Expressive Iteration getting the boot in Pioneer. We also talk about the various metagames of Standard and Explorer. Then we talk about all of the latest games and films: God of War and Mission Impossible. Thank you for your honor.

Brad and Alex take a look at the recent bans of Winota and Expressive Iteration and see which decks in Pioneer are on the rise or are in for a rude awakening as the meta takes shape.

The future is here! And in our dystopian timeline it's basically impossible to get decklists, so we've been in the trenches of watchin' streams to bring you all the NEW CARDS seeing play in various constructed formats. Are red cards back in standard? Is an Expressive Iteration deck...still really good? We don't really know! But we're doing our best. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music.

"Playing good decks gives you a feeling of growth."  What makes one a scrub? And what does it even mean to be one? Callum & Julian explore the meaning of the term and why it fundamentally has nothing to do with how well you play Magic - but whether your expectations align with the amount of work you're willing to put into improvement. Becoming aware of your self-imposed rules in playing the game can both help you level up your game, but most importantly prevent frustration with plateauing. One of the most excellent resources on this topic is David Sirlin's Playing To Win - Becoming the Champion (2002) that dedicates an entire chapter (available online!) to this today's topic. In the second half of the show we discuss how both Expressive Iteration already has, and how Abundant Harvest will shape future deckbuilding in Legacy; especially the latter has the potential for a fundamental shift in how to build Midrange and Control decks. 00:05:25 — "I don't like Tier1 decks"00:12:20 — Is the "rogue advantage" worth it?00:15:00 — How do different philosophies interact?00:17:50 — Julian doesn't wanna say it00:24:40 — What it really means to be  Scrub00:26:00 — The best books about competitive gaming00:34:20 — Expressive Iteration is bigger than you think00:45:13 — Abundant Harvest causing a paradigm shift01:02:10 — Callum must go to the pub "The Scrub Mentality" - from Playing to Win - Becoming the Champion, by David Sirlin, 2002 Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!Until next time,Julian

Strixhaven, Episode 16: Brew Session + Flashback Modern Horizons is here, which means it's last call for brews at the School of Mages. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.  We're emptying out the canister this week with a few miscellaneous brews. Quandrix Apprentice showed promise last week, so David is keen to push it to the limit. Conspiracy Theorist has us hoping for a Hollow One revival. Prismari Command can force your opponent to draw and discard, which means Notion Thief is back on the menu. Meanwhile on the Flashback, our Izzet decks from last week acquitted themselves well, including a 5-0 with Expressive Iteration. But Galazeth Prismari managed to make a believer out of Dan, in Modern no less, leading to some truly crazy 5 color builds. **** Decklists + a full transcipt for this episode can be viewed at FaithlessBrewing.com **** Like our content?

You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.  We're emptying out the canister this week with a few miscellaneous brews. Quandrix Apprentice showed promise last week, so David is keen to push it to the limit. Conspiracy Theorist has us hoping for a Hollow One revival. Prismari Command can force your opponent to draw and discard, which means Notion Thief is back on the menu. Meanwhile on the Flashback, our Izzet decks from last week acquitted themselves well, including a 5-0 with Expressive Iteration. But Galazeth Prismari managed to make a believer out of Dan, in Modern no less, leading to some truly crazy 5 color builds. **** Decklists + a full transcipt for this episode can be viewed at FaithlessBrewing.com **** Like our content?
