Thanks to Wizards of the Coast for our free preview card for Streets of New Capenna: Illuminator Virtuoso!

In this episode, which may or may not have a reused title, we talk briefly about the post-Lurrus ban landscape then get into tuning the Black Coffers Control deck, building Shadowless Death's Shadow with Hidetsugu Consumes All and *another* Prison deck, this time with Uba Mask and Drannith Magistrate!…

In this episode, we steal the Moonsnare Prototype and end up IN PRISON! We hit Kamigawa, catch up with Gadget from Rescue Rangers, then go deep in the catalog to find some sweet sweet synergy with some accidntally Modern legal "all-stars" like...Howling Mine, Storage Matrix and Root Maze! The inspiration for this deck was definitely Brian "BoshNRol…

It's the first show of 2021...2022? Sure. Who knows. Bottom line, Hatebears is due for a comeback and the old ones just don't cut it anymore so we're here to tell you the who's what's when's why's and how's of hating Modern in 2022!

This episode we're talkin' ENGINES y'all! Lot of Loam talk, getting going and riding it to a non-zero amount of victory. We explore a bit of how Modern feels and try to figure out if it feels "good". It's been a minute so thanks for sticking with us!

We all want the new shiny but what about the old shiny? Sometimes the New Hotness actually isn't that hot and old & busted is actually better than you remember. We're updating Jund and there isn't a monkey in sight!

Don't overthink it y'all. Play the good cards. We're doing a little catch up, some MH2 talk, AFR talk, All The Best Cards.dek, Spice Rack and all that jazz. Give it a listen and let us know what you think about what we think!

We're talking Modern Horizons 2 set review but through the magic of TIME TRAVEL this episode was recorded on JULY 7TH 2021, a glorious future where Urza's Saga has already been banned so we don't have to talk about it! Ari took the helm on Blue and Green cards, I talk about Black and Red cards and the rest sort of fall into place as we go.…

Huge thanks to Wizards of the Coast for providing this FREE preview card for the upcoming set, Modern Horizons 2! We break down both Limited and Constructed play for this card and create a new decklist that is both a callback to an old archetype and a powerful new Modular deck that gives Hardened Scales a run for its money!…

We're taking a spin through some 3 color combos for underexplored, overlooked deck builds and first up is Mardu! White, Black, and Red have the best of everything in a lot of categories but often end up with midrange piles without closing speed. Let's see if we can fix that!

The new format overlords have been solidified for a few weeks and you still won't let go of your old deck. We're here to help! In this episode we cover some broad guidelines for what works and what doesn't then provide some lists we've doctored to help escape the Stockholm Syndrome of thinking a 30% matchup against Heliod is a-OK. Show notes: Make …

There's a lot to talk about in Strixhaven so @armlx and I split the set into U/R/Spellsy stuff and B/G/Creaturey stuff then whatever the hell is going on with White and colorless. Anyway we do a two+ hour dive so give it a listen!

OK this episode has been in the hopper for a while due to a cascade of cursed events but its here finally. Kaldheim overview and ban review. Give it a listen, new episode back on regular schedule forthcoming. Thanks for hanging in there with us!

We wanted to do a deckbuilding type episode so in that vein we decided to Elephant Modern Hammertime. What the heck is Elephanting and why would you do it? Well...you'll have to listen to find out!

We're back! A lot has changed in Modern and some things have stayed the same. We talk about new cards, old cards and everything in between cards. There is definitely a Minotaur Surprise and that is not a euphemism.

Join @armlx and I as we take a quick survey of Constructed formats, looking for a port in the current sharknado!

Ikoria is upon us and the Companion mechanic is causing shockwaves in every constructed format. So...is it good or is it whack? Join Ari and I as we dig into Companion, brushwaggs and more! (We also hit some highlights from the set AND put together an infinite mana combo with a card I can guarantee you haven't heard of before!) Show notes: Decked B…

Welp, the fairy tale has come to an end for many decks with the banning of Once Upon a Time. We provide a little commentary, a little perspective, and more importantly, practical advice on some things the major OUaT decks can slot in for the time being. Thanks for listening and please wash your hands! Show notes: 1) Decked Builder affiliate link - …

"Great players that sideboard badly lose more than medium players that sideboard well." Sideboarding is an essential skill both at the deckbuilding level and for tournament success. In this episode we cover some general points on the subject along with a card by card case study of the sideboard configuration that took Ahren's TemUro deck from a 2-3…

This episode is a little late coming out (long story) but we cover the Oko, Opal, Lattice ban and make some predictions. How did we do? Listen and find out! There's puns, Pioneer talk, Theros stuff...it is a big old burger with all the fixins (no lettuce tho) and a Spice Rack to boot. We should be back to regular schedule after this so thanks for s…

In this episode Ari and I cover the Modern metagame and Post-ban Pioneer then get right into not one but two BRAND NEW Pioneer decks, brewed live and centered around Ephara, God of the Polis! Thanks for listening! Show Notes: 1) UW Ephara Live Brew List: http://decks.deckedbuilder.com/d/2020-01-04/ymIcOoETu0ehTNcicY1fJg== 2) Esper Ephara Live Brew …

Join Ari and I as we jump back into the Flying Circus of Modern and Pioneer with...Something Completely Different. We run down the problems with Pioneer, are they solvable? The numbers tell the tale. Modern isn't perfect either but we pull some interesting stats and what the implications are there as well. All that AND two Spice Rack cards. Thanks …
