We had to come back for Lee's Edge of Eternities lore dump. And I guess there were some standard bans?

Our friend Jesse qualified for the PT and he did it in style, smashing through Hartford with his beloved Roots deck. We're talking Roots, his run two weeks before with Monument, and a sprinkling of Final Fantasy in the mix.

This week! We're breaking down standard LIVE as it develops at the height of RC season. Prowess put up a breach-like metagame share in Minneapolis but did not continue delivering breach-like numbers, so what should we play going forward? Find out on this episode!

We've got our first RC results, so we're looking at how the stage is set for high level standard season! Newcomer Izzet Prowess is lighting the tables up, but does it have what it takes in the format for the long haul?

We kind of go all over the place on this one, but land squarely on amulet talk for a healthy portion. Will CCR finally learn how to cast Primeval Titan? Find out this week!

It's postban modern RCQ season! We're playing all sorts of bad decks this time around, from Hardened Broodscale to Coretapper Control. Well, Lee is playing those decks while CCR goes long on Prowess. Come check out the format with us!

Ooooh they banned Underworld Breach and nothing else? Should we tell everyone? Should we throw a party? Should we invite Bella Hadid?
And Dragonstorm spoilers!

We're here, hanging out on Tarkir, bringing you the hottest spoilers while dodging dragonstorms and trying to make sure Sarkhan doesn't notice us.

Lee held CCR at gunpoint so it's a lore episode with some modern thrown in for good measure! Why can't Jace tell anyone what he's up to until he throws the multiverse into chaos? Why does Tarkir get restored offscreen? Why does Sarkhan get beaten not by a character but a random series of events? We don't answer any of those questions! But we sure do ask them.

There was only one type of episode that made sense the week after Jesse won the RC with Breach! We got her on the cast to talk about the tournament, her 5-year arc as a Breach main, and what the future holds. And there are a lot of bits.

It's the week after the Pro Tour! We break down the winning, losing, and confusing strategies from this past weekend's big standard tournament. Is this town big enough for them all?

Join two final fantasy experts as we mostly avoid talking about chocobos and delve into standard (upcoming pro tour!) and modern (almost time for our RC!) and don't even complain about how good breach is!

This week! Abe Stein joins us off a top 64 finish in Portland with a deck that has risen to the top of the format, and we take his words and turn them into clickbait. Come for the hot takes on the modern format, stay for the thoughtful discussion of how to properly beat Breach.

We're zooming around from card to card, trying not to just talk about which ones are good to put under an Agatha's Soul Cauldron (we also talk about what cards are good with Ketramose!)

Our friend Nick has won the inaugural Atomic Empire modern invitational, and he did with with Boros Energy which remains...really, really good. We talk about the tournament, the breach matchup, and how modern is looking going forward from here!
