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 for listening!
Show notes:
First off, apologies for the extreme lateness of the November episodes. November was an insane month in my personal life (I changed jobs and had an unexpected death in the family) so this episode and the next one took a lot longer than expected to release.
This episode was recorded live with OG co-host Chris on Discord for Patrons right after the Pioneer announcement. The first round of bans hadn't happened yet but it is an interesting look into what our predictions for the format would be like (we did pretty well).
Enjoy this time capsule and thanks for listening!
Show notes:
This episode we dive into Throne of Eldraine's impact on Modern. Spoiler alert: it is BIG! Ari and I cover what hit, what missed, how to catch that darn gingerbread man, a Spice Rack that's twice as nice and more!
Thanks for listening!

Thanks for listening and thanks for sticking with us while Hogaak blew over.
Show notes:
We're playing catch up after a very hectic June so please bear with us. This was recorded pre-Bridge from Below ban so Hogaak was still running roughshod over the format. Core 2020 hadn't even been fully spoiled. Oh, heady halcyon days!
Anyhoo, Chris and I talk about the highlights and mediumlights of what was out at the time, what we were playing, a leafy green Spice Rack card and more!
Thanks for listening!

Long story short, Faithless Looting and Ancient Stirrings are where its at. We'll do a deep dive on Ancient Stirrings decks next time but right now we're going Looting!
