This week on the MetaZoo News Podcast, we break down the latest MetaZoo Monday with the reveal of Secret Shadows, the next Dark-themed set. We cover Bunny Man’s return, updates on convention plans, and hints at a brand-new chase product in the works. We also explore alternate play formats for the updated MetaZoo rules. In the Community Roundup, we spotlight fresh content from Zeles TCG, DPD19, the Jackalope Club Podcast, and MetaZooManiac’s unforgettable Nightfall rip under the lunar eclipse. And finally, Shab discusses the most recent controversy at the end of MetaZoo Monday. Website: https://metazoonews.com IG: @metazoo.news Youtube: @metazoonews
Casters, welcome to the very first episode of MetaZoo News: The Podcast! I’m Shab — also known as Mr. MZN — executive editor of MetaZooNews.com. In this debut episode, we’re breaking down the biggest stories from the September 1st MetaZoo Monday: Organized Play takes shape with prize packs, tournament kits, and near-finalized rules. The product roadmap reveals blister packs hitting retail, Dynamic Decks, and the Dark Set in 2025. Lore and cryptid updates include a children’s book in the works, the return of Wendigo, and new Flatwoods Monster art. Community and convention news highlight creator strategies, event promos, and the upcoming release of Promo 003 at Collect-A-Con Chicago. Along the way, I’ll share my own perspective on what these developments mean for players, collectors, and the broader MetaZoo community. This is just the beginning — future episodes will feature guest interviews, deckbuilding discussions, and deeper dives into the stories shaping MetaZoo’s next chapter.
