243: Ixalonging for New Rules!



On this episode, Maria and Meghan welcome Regional Coordinator for the North and all-around awesome guy, Judge Rob McKenzie back to the show! Judge Rob will walk us through each of the new (and returning) mechanics and abilities in Ixalan to help us prep for the prerelease this weekend! Stumped by a specific card? Rob’s got your back! “Explore” got you scratching your head? Rob’s here to help! What about the craziness with the new Planeswalker Legend rule? DON’T WORRY, ROB’S HERE!! PLUS: The Cutest Card is crowned along with the Grossest Card – so get your ballots ready. We also learn about a new Wilson brother?!

242: Enter the Arena



On this episode, Maria and Meghan give their first impressions of that new digital Magic hotness: Arena. What do they think of the new platform? What could be improved? What rocks their socks off? ALSO: Meghan Top 8’s *another* PPTQ (she’s got those things on lock) with her Modern Promise Titan deck, Iconic Masters looks like a treat-and-a-half to draft, and epic Ixalan preview cards keep on comin’! SPECIAL BONUS: Find out what mascots Maria and Meghan had in college. FUN FACTS!

Editor’s Note: We had some technical issues in this week’s episode (and we still don’t know WHY they happened) so a bit of Meghan’s Modern PPTQ talk is cut off at the beginning. Don’t fret! We had her record a new intro for the piece. Unfortunately, this means no video of this week’s episode as well. We’ll be back in full force next week!

241: You Got Gravy on My Potatoes!



On this episode, Maria and Meghan say “ahoy!” to Ixalan! They hit the high seas with preview cards galore, as they dish on the shiny new mechanics of the set. Just how good will Explore be? And how do we all feel that Raid is back? PLUS: a frank discussion on language in gaming (keep it clean, kids!), what leaking cards means for the community (hint: not good things), and Flavor Text Theatre that will leave you wishing these two had a movie production budget.
