Mono white initiative did well in a SHOWCASE CHALLENGE. It came in second for heaven's sake. Matt and Jake are ecstatic about some of the diversity in legacy. The guys get a little into both legacy and modern this week. We apologize for the longer episode but the words just kept coming. To wrap up Matt and Jake discuss Monowolf’s plan to break into modern and legacy with Mono white hammertime. Spoiler alert, they guys are super on board!

Daybreak data disaster is definitely better and while they are not in order the top 8 is present with the rest of the top 32. It’s actually a pleasant surprise how good the results look. Legacy has an appropriate amount of delver (with a lot of combo) and modern has a mish-mash of some fun decks too. We will not be recording next week for mental rest.

Now that Daybreak games have taken over the servers we have lost the DATA! These growing pains are to be expected with a big transition like this but dang if it isn't annoying.

The crew is back in its entirety! Legacy is great with either 9% or 29% delver. Actually the top 8 was a little more diverse then we have seen recently, though it was a little heavy on the combo decks. The Modern meta is in turmoil as we work on finding the new equilibrium. We did see Burn in the top 8 and some clever meta calls for beating burn above them. Lastly, some discussion on why Maro is making his fun be your fun. There was definitely some funkyness in the recording this week and with t...

It’s all Jake all the time! Matt is out for the week but Jake just had to get his 2 cents in on this travesty of a B&R announcement. Other than that legacy is the same hot mess it usually is even though WOTC assures us that UR delver is only 9% of the meta. The 4 - color Minsc and Boo lists are firing off though. Modern actually saw a ban so there is very little discussion on the modern meta for this week since it is now dead. Timestamps Legacy - 18:43 Modern - 41:23 Suicide prevention Hotli...

Modern is still a lot of the same but not in a bad way and despite Matt and Jake’s best efforts an infinity spoiler makes it into the cast.

Another late night recording till 9pm the night of release but we get it done! Just like Legacy got it done on Sunday with that beautiful top 8 and metagame breakdown. Modern looked pretty diverse as well, with some decent but normal churn going on. Today the guys wrap up by talking about techniques to help get someone started playing magic the gathering.

The boys are pulling some late nights but the show must go on. Lets get some more challenges like this legacy super qualifier! I mean it did have a TON of lands based decks but hey, anything is better than delver at this point. Modern is looking ok, definitely different than the last few weeks but this Sunday was a very heavy combo challenge. Here’s hoping that it doesn't stick around too long.

Matt and Jake have been CLEANING UP lately. Jake made it to the top 4 and split at his Modern 1K and Matt is currently undefeated at monday night pioneer! Legacy top 8 had some interesting decks but the meta was still almost 30% delver. Modern also didn’t have too much brand new in it but is still showing some churn.

I’m going to level with you, both legacy and modern challenges looked pretty bad this week. We saw a lot of top 8s with 3 of a single deck in them. It was noticeable seeing phoenix in legacy though. To wrap things up our newest patron asked us to take a look at his new pauper brew and we have suggestions.

So we got an unjustified ban in Pioneer, Wotc announced they have no intention of making ANY ban in Legacy, AND delver was 27 to 38 percent of the challenge top 32s this weekend?! What is going on! The only good that happened was the Dallas Dreamhack Modern 10k had some pretty cool lists in the top 8 including jund and mill.

Wow legacy is looking good for the second week in a row. It’s getting more and more fun to discuss these diverse and somewhat different top eights. Let’s hope it keeps going. Modern is going pretty good, and it was a really good weekend for Titan decks between Saturday, Sunday and paper 5k. Lastly Matt and Jake go off on a new dragon turtle spoiler that is just bad card design.

If we just ignore the 3 delver decks there is some really cool stuff in legacy for the showcase including legit goblins and slivers! Even modern saw a few tier 2 or 3 decks show up in the top 8.

If we just look at the Sunday challenge legacy isn’t too bad. It looks like if you just pack your chalice of the voids then delver will sit the fuck down. Burn is back in modern and held it’s own with the rest of the meta. To wrap up Matt and Jake weigh in on the ban discussion in regards to pioneer as there has been alot of chatter in the magic world about what bans pioneer “needs”.
