  • Episode 24 - Sondering the Horde
    Apr 17 2026

    In this week's episode, Zack, Nate, and Josh talk about a revived alternate game mode all the way back from original Theros block, how to handle the awkward dilemma of an opponent scooping to deny you combat triggers, and what parts of playing Magic just feel good.

    Also, Josh could totally fight a horse.

  • Episode 3 - This Episode Stinks (like us)
    Nov 21 2025

    In this week's episode, Josh, Nate, and Zack talk about the things that we wish Magic players knew about things outside the game, our favorite pet cards, and some cards we think would be interesting bans or unbans for the Commander format.

    Josh's Music Recommendation: Raynes (Tie Me to the Tracks or Marigolds are a good starting point)

  • In the Beginning....
    Nov 7 2025

    Our very first episode! In our first debut into the Magic; the Gathering podcast world, we introduce ourselves and tackle a few questions that we're wondering about now: how do we keep up with all the MTG product? How do we feel about the potential hybrid mana rules changes? And why did mana burn go away?

  • Episode 23 - Big Magic is Coming For Your Bracket 3 Decks
    Apr 10 2026

    In this week's episode, Nate, Zack, and Josh give some great advice like: don't play in Bracket 3 Commander Tournaments, know when you've got the rules wrong, and don't start your car until you've opened that one random booster pack you bought at Walmart. You get better pulls that way.

    Also, when you get to the end, prepare yourself for the wildest topics we've put in the blooper reel. It's practically a whiplash hazard.

  • Episode 22 - Cards to Avoid, Colors to Love, and Tayam to Win
    Apr 3 2026

    In this week's episode, Nate, Zack, and Josh talk about some cards that you should probably avoid putting in your EDH decks (unless you're a certified CPA), why blue gets too much hate, and a couple of rapid fire questions from members of the Tayam cEDH Discord channel.
