Magic is in a wild place right now and the decklists floating around prove it. Today, the guys look at some examples of decks going above 60 cards, talk about the theory behind numbering in deckbuilding, and help you understand why (or why NOT) you should be straying from 60 cards.  To support the show, consider subscribing to our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/boltthebird.  Check out our new line of merch at: https://www.boltthebirdmtg.com/shop!  We are proudly sponsored by Boogie Board, makers of The Ultimate LCD Life Pad.

We kick off the show with a chat about a ton of Modern data that's been collected since the Yorion ban, and review matchups for the top decks in the format. Then we dive into four new Pioneer decks d00mwake helped put together to keep experimenting with cards from March of the Machine. Stan takes another Elves deck through the grinder, but Gruul with dinosaurs? Devon then plays his own Gruul dino deck, but with Reckless Stormseekrs and Esika's Chariots. Dave draws a bunch of cards with blue convoke spells. And we make as many tokens as possible in Naya. The Break Down: Modern data post Yorion ban!

It looks like we've got a legit series on our hands. The obsession with starter decks continues as the conversation turns to the blink/flicker theme. Kyle takes a somewhat different route, rather than offering a starter version of a beloved deck, he chats with Andy talks about a theme he has obsessed with for years. They investigate how it has changed in the face of added design and the availability of new blink commanders. He offers up Yorion, Sky Nomad as a launching point for anyone looking to get started with the theme. As always, you can find our deck lists on our Patreon supporter Discord server.

In this week's episode, we break down the Nerd Rage Gaming $10k Team Trios Trial and the $5k Modern Trial in Newark, Ohio. We look at the overall metagame, the new breakout decks in Modern, and what did well (and not so well). Following that, we take a bit of time to talk about some decks we've been playing in Modern and Pioneer! We share our hands-on experiences getting better with RB Scam, the swingness of Gruul beatdown in Pioneer, the power level of 4C Omnath in a post-Yorion metagame, and why Domain Zoo is probably not the aggro deck we were hoping for.

What does Modern look like now that Yorion is banned? On this week's show we go through the complete Friday October 14 deck dump to discuss our expectations for the format's staples and other rogue decks. We consider the contenders for the "best new deck," including Murktide, Creativity, and Hammer. Plus we take stock of the initial attempts at 4C Omnath decks in 60 cards. And imagine the potential for emerging or rogue strategies, like 5C Zoo, Scam, and Breach.

Season 15, Episode 18: Weekly Roundup Yorion, Sky Nomad is the latest addition to Modern's endless ranks of the banned. There are now 48 cards in Modern jail, some of which have been there since the beginning. Today on Faithless Brewing, the crew takes a hard look at the Modern ban list to see whether it stands up to scrutiny in the post-MH2 era. With so much power creep, many cards could likely be released back into the format safely, joining the ranks of successful unbans like Sword of the Meek, Valakut, Wild Nacatl, and Jace, the Mind Sculptor. Broadly speaking, the banned cards fall into six categories. Category 1: Gone forever. These are the best of the best, the most broken of the broko. They should be locked away until the end of time. (Example: Hogaak, Oko, Dark Depths). Category 2: Banished for reasons other than power level. These cards are problematic for reasons other than win rate, and are therefore also gone forever. (Ex: Sensei's Divining Top, Second Sunrise, KCI). Category 3: Safe, but no upside. Some cards only support a single deck or combo. Even if those combos are not overpowered (and in fact some are likely quite weak), their existence would be a net negative on the format. There is no upside to ever unbanning these cards. (Ex: Blazing Shoal, Hypergenesis, Splinter Twin) Category 4: Risky and probably not okay. These cards used to be too powerful. Today, they'd fall in the gray area. If you want to live dangerously, you could unban them, but they are likely still too strong. (Ex: Mystic Sanctuary, Eye of Ugin, Glimpse of Nature) Category 5: Risky but probably okay. These are powerful cards that would impact the meta. The resulting decks would likely be fine, but would need to be watched carefully. (Ex: Faithless Looting, Birthing Pod, Seething Song) Category 6: Should be unbanned today. These cards are completely safe to unban, and Wizards should do so as soon as possible. (Ex: Preordain, Bridge from Below, artifact lands). Cavedan and Morde don't see eye to eye on everything, but they broadly agree that the current ban list is outdated and too conservative. Which cards are the most controversial, and which ones did we get right and wrong?

Meathook Massacre and Yorion get the boot in their respective formats, and we talk as to what sort of impact this is going to have of their metas. Magic 30 is still awful. And we spend the end of the show waxing poetic about Andor. Thank your for your honor.

Yorion is banned, rejoice! To celebrate, we're scamming it up with Rakdos Scam aka Rakdos Elementals aka Rakdos Midrange aka Rakdos Blink. A deck that goes by many names but it's only got one thing on it's mind. Turn 1 Grief, baby! It's a Modern deck dive of undying proportions. We kick off with a Break Down of Modern's B&R. Did WOTC go far enough? Did the right card get banned? And where does the format go from here? Then we dive into Rakdos Scam to see what all the hype is about this MH2-inspired Midrange deck. Is it the next Jund or something new entirely?

The bird serpent is banned and, though we spend a fair bit of time this episode working through pioneer results, we spare a few words to remember he who will not really be missed, as well as a few other words for the companion mechanic as a whole. Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

Season 15, Episode 2: Brewer's Guide to Dominaria United, Vol. II Three of the most important cards for Modern and Pioneer headline the second installment of our Dominaria United Set Review. Rundvelt Hordemaster powers up Goblins decks in a huge way. The first true 2 mana Goblin lord is also a tremendous source of card advantage and resiliency. Turning every death (including tokens, including itself) into fresh draws while also curving out well in aggressive starts is a game changer. Hordemaster also pairs with cost reduction effects and has combo potential with Skirk Prospector. We already liked Squee, Dubious Monarch, and now we like it a whole lot more. Leyline of Binding is stunningly powerful. It may be the most powerful removal spell since Swords to Plowshares. Leyline provides a massive incentive to assemble a Domain mana base, and will be format-defining removal in both Pioneer and Modern. On top of its raw power, it can even synergize with proven engines like Enigmatic Incarnation or Enchantress to pull off some crazy feats. Finally, low curve decks have a new enemy to fear in Temporary Lockdown. Certain strategies like Hammer, Hardened Scales, or tribal aggro get absolutely devastated by Culling Ritual. Temporary Lockdown makes this effect cheaper and even repeatable, thanks to Yorion and Teferi, Time Raveler. From there, the offerings get more speculative, but no less interesting. Tolarian Terror has Gurmag Angler vibes with huge upside, but relying on the graveyard is a risk. Founding the Third Path may subsidize delve or See the Truth. And of course it wouldn't be a Faithless Brewing Set Review without Cavedan going crazy over new kicker cards for his Drake Whack deck. Prodigal co-host Zach “Manacymbal” Ryl returns today to help us break down all the hits and misses, and to catch up on the latest MTG news.

This week it's all about the NRG Championship Series event in Chicago. We dive deep into the data, the most popular decks, the sickest plays, and the cherished friendships that make an event like this possible. We go over the top 10 (or so) decks of the weekend, break down the overall metagame, talk with a few players from the floor of the tournament, and hear how Stan did in the swiss (spoiler: pretty well!).

Season 14, Episode 27: Brew Session (Mausoleum Secrets) ft. Soren Wellman How far would you go for an instant speed Demonic Tutor? Compare the slowness of Profane Tutor, a two mana instant tutor seems unlikely to see print. But Mausoleum Secrets offers precisely this bargain. It can only fetch black cards, with mana value tied to your graveyard. But the power of Secrets has already yielded some spectacular 5-0s in black-based toolbox strategies. Today on Faithless Brewing, Soren Wellman aka 1stTurnNegator joins Morde to unlock the secrets of the mausoleum and share his passion for brewing toolbox style control and tempo decks. Soren has a long history of success at the intersection of control decks and combo finishes: from Izzet Through the Breach, to Blue Moon, to Izzet Murktide, Reanimator and more. He also isn't afraid to go deep into the tank and hone some truly impressive brews. Soren has been eyeing Mauseoleum Secrets for a while now, and is likely foremost expert on the card. What are the constraints of Mauseleum Secrets, and what new strategies can it unlock in Modern? We're heading deep into the undergrowth today to find out.   Read more articles from Soren at FaithlessBrewing.com: https://faithlessbrewing.com/author/grixisism/ View the full show notes from today's episode, with many additional brews: https://brass-grain-edd.notion.site/S14E27-Mausoleum-Secrets-ft-Soren-Wellman-1stTurnNegator-3a419d655c6f406ea50cb8e9fd7f6f63 **** Like our content? Support us on Patreon and join our brewing community!

Season 13, Episode 18: Modern State of the Format (March-April 2022)   In the last few years the Modern format has experienced more severe changes than at any point in the past. For the constant player, this has been progressive in nature and exciting to follow (even if expensive and a tad overwhelming). However, the brisk pace of change is more challenging for casual Modern fans or people coming back after a break. Today on Faithless Brewing we are responding to the most common questions we got during our last mailbag episode: “How can I get started in Modern?” and “How do I get back into the format after a break?" This episode is intended to be a resource not only for new and returning Modern players, but also for anyone seeking a broader understanding of the top tier meta and the best decks after the Lurrus ban. Our goal is to provide a clear idea of the strategies the most popular decks are employing, the key cards they utilize, and (more importantly for our beloved spike rogues) how to play around them. We cover a dozen top decks and give our best gameplay and sideboarding advice for tackling the meta. So, is it possible to get back into the loop after being away from it? Absolutely yes! We hope this format guide is a stepping stone for anyone that needs it and can help kickstart your journey (back) into Modern.

The inaugural episode of Stockholm Legacy Report: A podcast about paper Legacy! This will be a podcast about the Magic the Gathering format Legacy played in Stockholm, capital of Sweden. More specifically, we will talk about the Legacy we play and how we relate that to Legacy in more general terms. In this episode, we will discuss Strixhaven Warlock shenanigans, evaluate the Sharkstill archetype and see if Yorion is the card that makes NicFit a viable deck. At least for the local paper meta. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we continue our series on the core decks that make up the Pioneer format! Are you a control player that wants to play Pioneer and that is looking for a different take on the archetype? Do you love playing with Thoughtseizes? Are cards that are hard to interact with and give your opponents fits your thing? Then look no further than Esper Yorion! This 80 card deck gives you everything a control player could want and more.   Swedish native, Magic player, and MTGO grinder Rasmus Enegren (@mussie_99 on Twitter) joins us to talk about one of his favorite decks in the Pioneer format and explains why he likes it, what cards make up the optimal 80 for this unique take on control, and how the deck matches up against others in Pioneer.
