On this episode, Maria and Meghan welcome very special guest (and friend of the show) Judge Rob to talk about Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths! Rob walks you through all the tricky new mechanics (is Mutate the most complicated mechanic ever printed?! Find out!), new cards, and strange card interactions that might come up during your prerelease on Arena, MTGO or in-person (in a socially safe way!) with special prerelease packs from your LGS. Rob will answer listener questions, argue about Maria’s pick for Cutest Card, and generally be an amazing resource for our community. Be sure to have this episode up in your brain space before you head…in…to play Ikoria for the first time!
