Jason Ye (JasonILTG on Twitter) is sliming over competitive Magic at an alarming rate, winning the WOE Limited $100k in Vegas, almost Top 8ing the last Pro Tour, and actually Top 8ing in Seattle alongside podcast idol cftsoc with the delightful Slogurk deck that they created and pioneered together. Jason oozes forth on improvement in Limited, innovation in Constructed (ft. Slogurk's origin story), and processing this sudden but sustained success at high-level play.Jason's Site + PatreonSanctum of All PodPatreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on Patreon
Dom returns from two NRG tournament wins.... and about that many Pro Tour match wins. With lands-deck-master prowess, he breaks down what lead to his Amulet and Lands builds and the Team Sanctum of All Slogurk deck that put its designers cftsoc and Jason Ye into the Top 8 of Pro Tour Outlaws of Thunder Junction.Autum's Post-PT RetrospectiveClassic killgoldfish on the artistry of Time SpiralPatreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on PatreonCharity Legacy $7k with Jarvis and Ari on commentary, 5/11/2024 in Maryland
Jarvis Yu joins Ari this week for his typical role as pre-PT correspondent, but this time from the competitor field! Listen to where testing for Pro Tour Outlaws of Thunder Junction took Jarvis for Standard, and tune into the Pro Tour coverage to root on Jarvis and Dom in Seattle.Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on PatreonCharity Legacy $7k with Jarvis and Ari on commentary, 5/11/2024 in Maryland
Dom and Ari take a minute before the big Standard Pro Tour showdown (yeeehaw) to look at the current state of Modern and Pioneer. Has either format broken out of the stranglehold of Scion of Draco or Arclight Phoenix? Is Wild Nacatl headed for another ban? Is Niv Mizzet good or is claudioh just winning again? And most importantly, Dom's pre-PT vibes immaculate or in shambles?Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on Patreon
After a whirlwind, whistlestop tour of Thunder Junction and Big Score (featuring Bloomburrow and obliquely Modern Horizons 3 but absolutely NOT Assassin's Creed - yet) we are just about caught up on spoiler season and soon you can be too!Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on Patreon
When I see new cards, I think "yes". We manage to extend this thought for two hours, after a quick look at the Organized Play announcement and rant about the bizarrely concealed Arena Championships coming soon (?) to a Twitch channel (?) near you. Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on Patreon
This Monday's B&R update took a big swing at some weird aliens while ignoring the elephant in the room. We're back for some characteristically peaceful statements about the bans we did and didn't see and where Modern and Pioneer stand as they come back into the spotlight.Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on Patreon
Your hosts and many friends of the show spent a long weekend in Chicago winning and losing (and drawing... repeatedly...) with a lot on the line. Dom is finally back in Canada and on the air with war stories and hot takes before the axe understandably falls - a Pro Tour, a Standard not-a-GP, a MagicCon, and all the ear-splitting hooting and hollering around them. Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on Patreoncftsoc's truly splendid reclamation
The semi-regular Pro Tour predictions episode with Jarvis Yu returns to stakes some claims about Pioneer, Draft, and even a bit of Standard for the $75k Open at Magic Con Chicago. Join him and Ari as they prove themselves right (or wrong) about a wide spread of topics, even if they refuse to weigh in on the great pizza debate.Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom's Patreon
Ari has restored his appreciation for Yawgmoth in Modern, and Jarvis Yu steps into the pod to discuss why the deck he is likely playing at the upcoming Regional Championship has gone from a solid combo deck with flaws to one of the undeniable best decks in the format.Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom's Patreon
Nobody knows what the hell to do with most of the cards in Murders at Karlov Manor so we put our most dogged detectives on the case and let them yap for hours about the bizarre combo decks coming to a Twitch stream near you - plus, a look at the results from the first weekend of Modern RCs and the format's relative stability heading into Denver and Ottawa. 2:20:30 RC Ghent + Modern UpdatePatreon / Twitter / DiscordDom's Patreon
Standard season is full swing (allegedly but also actually?!) and there's somehow less Standard content than ever. We take a look at why that information isn't cascading any more and try to plug that gap ourselves with a tour of everything from Domain to the black midrange decks (in all the colours of the rainbow) and, inevitably, the Overslime itself.

A long and busy year for Magic is over and a new one is already underway so we thought we'd take stock before another wave of discourse overwhelms us all. We take a look at the cards and sets of 2023, the hits and misses, and the return of the Pro Tour (and the elephants holding it up).Patreon / Twitter / Discord
Dom and Ari were reunited in paper (...in the flesh? in person?) at Eternal Weekend along with hundreds of thrill-seeking gamers keen to enjoy the Cadillac of Magic. After reeling from his swift 0-3 (which was somehow not the most tragic exit from the tournament) and dabbling in Legacy, Dom found an even more fake format he can win in - does Santa have a Premodern episode in the pipeline?! Ari actually won a lot of matches, as he is wont to do, and gives a former EW Legacy Champion and epternal Legacy boomer's take on its current state. Plus Pioneer is stuck in a loop (or is it?) and the first big Modern not-a-GP post-ban is won by... Scam. Obviously. Patreon / Twitter / Discord
The prophecy has been fulfilled and bans are in. We're back for a not-so-rapid reaction to the changes, their explanations, and where Pioneer and Modern go from here.16:38 Pioneer41:38 Modern Patreon / Twitter / Discord
Last week we all made a horrifying discovery of something we already knew (Cascade is kinda messed up!) and watched Pioneer collapse on itself as a result. Since this recording Geological Appraiser has passed the test while any hosts foolish enough to register Quintorius got their ivory poached and bans are confirmed for Monday. Until then, we catch up on Vintage and Legacy ahead of Eternal Weekend NA in Pittsburgh, singing the praises of some decks and bombarding others with broadsides.Patreon / Twitter / Discord
After no changes, it's time to turn and face the strain. Ban talk is at a fever pitch, every MTGGoldfish screenshot of a Scam-infested Modern Challenge racks up hundreds of retweets and growls, and Grief has never been more aptly named. Elsewhere, the Beans talkers are obsessed with how to get an edge in the 4C mirror - the only thing that matters when everything else is too free for the Beans. Who needs to be taken down, how should they do it, and will we like what comes next?Show NotesPatreon / Twitter / Discord
Dom made a pilgrimage to Madison, Wisconsin last month to defend the honour of King Charles or Cube trying. In this solo episode he gives a report from this four-day Cube extravaganza, the lessons for Cube designers and drafters, and reflects on why Magic and Cube are pretty cool if you think about it.00:00 An ode to Magic, Cube, and CubeCon 33:12 Wisconsin vs England!37:02 Companion CubeMain Event Day 1 42:50 - Changeling Cube + breaking (down) new formats58:45 - Artifact Cube + not hosing your own theme 1:03:25 - Creative Cube + the nature of synergy vs goodstuff Main Event Day 21:18:10 - Buildaround Cube + interaction in a world of synergy 1:27:27 - Cascade Cube + the joy of the unknown 1:36:19 - Tiny Leaders + curves1:42:43 - Interlude + Top 64 + Duplicate Team Sealed 1:46:25 - Vintage Cube but not as we know itDeck Pics/NotesCube ListsWritten Report + General Cube Stuff
Special guests are out and regular programming has resumed as your beloved hosts are back to break down an Ixalan set that actually has some cool cards this time! But first, a catchup on the discourse of the past few weeks, from play boosters (remember those?) to the Marvelisation of Magic past and present and even a vibe ranking of European cities that you might remember from a failed GP visit years ago (maybe not Berlin...)21:20 LCI PreviewsPatreon / Twitter / Discord
As Dom and Ari swap their absentee roles for a bit, Gavin "alfaphrog" Thompson steps in to chat about the world of competitive Magic Online cube. How different are the try hard queues from your normal Vintage cube leagues, and what can be learned about drafting and building cubes from the experience of aiming to win over drafting the coolest Storm deck?Patreon / Twitter / Discord
