It’s the One True Ring, Rowan!



On this episode, Maria and Meghan…attempt…to dive face first into a new Standard format following the release of Strixhaven: School of Mages. They run into a few stumbling blocks, however, given that the format dosen’t seem to be changing! NOT TO WORRY! Our intrepid hosts have uncovered some fun new decks in Standard (which may or may not be good) that definitely have spirit. PLUS: Meghan gives us a look into the halls of Stixhaven with a Storytime and Maria is SHOCKED to find out who voices some planeswalkers in MTG Arena. Truly, you will be shocked.

Goodbye Kaldheim, Hello Strixhaven!



On this episode, Maria and Meghan say goodbye to Kaldheim — with a recap of the entire story of the plane (who knew we might end up liking Tyvar?!), a look back at what worked (and what didn’t) in draft, and how the set impacted (or didn’t) Standard. PLUS: A look ahead to Strixhaven! We’ll take a look behind the scenes and learn how the School of Mages was developed, highlighting the big wins — and big misses. ALSO: sometimes you just can’t remember the name of a very important Phyrexian.
