Zac and Phil break down PokiMokis now-infamous “pigs and slop” analogy that lit up the community, and explore what it really says about the state of Magic.We talk about:🐷 The “slop” metaphor and why so many players took offense⚔️ Competitive vs. Commander – is one being left behind?🎭 How WotC’s design choices blur the line between 1v1 and 4-player formats🕹️ Universes Beyond – fun new entry points or self-disrespect to Magic’s own IP?💸 Rising costs, endless product releases, and whether the firehose is too wide openThis isn’t just ragebait – it’s an honest conversation about what longtime players are feeling, where the game is headed, and whether Wizards can keep everyone at the table happy.👀 Are you a fan of “pigs and slop”? Or do you think the analogy misses the point? Let us know in the comments!
