A new monthly feature appears! We are pleased to have Kat Light, noted SCG Grinder and Twitch streamer, join our own newly minted Bronze Pro Zach for a backstage look at grinding events and creating content.
Kat is a Top 100 SCG Leaderboard point holder with a 2nd place Team Open finish in Modern with her signature Bant Spirits deck earlier this year. Her Twitch channel is going strong with over 1k followers and she is also part of the brand new VClique podcast alongside a boatload of fantastic female players. Check them out at here!

We tackle the earthshaking decision to make no changes to the Banned & Restricted List, trace out some possible bans/unbans, touch on the real prep you should be doing for Team Modern, quick hits from the internet, then my Sultai Shadow list update and Zach talks about the Nexus of Fate Turbo Fog deck he brewed up for SCG Baltimore this weekend. All that and an angelic Spice Rack card!

The regular episode for this week is a meditation on the Human condition, with deep ponderings on what is a counterspell. Is a discard spell a counterspell? What the hell is tempo?
Our Spice Rack is the stone cold nuts mirror breaker for a very prominent matchup so don't miss it at the end of the cast!

Nothing is sweeter than a homecoming, except when the homecoming is to Dominaria and the set looks bonkers amazing.
We (mostly Zach) winnowed the list from the 40 cards I picked to a much more reasonable but still hefty list of cards to keep an eye on.
The set looks *BONKERS*. Do yourself a favor and play it.

We have the pleasure of unleashing unto the world Torgarr, Famine Incarnate from the upcoming Magic: The Gathering set, Dominaria!
Torgarr, Famine Incarnate
6BB
Legendary Creature — Avatar
As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This spell costs {2} less to cast for each creature sacrificed this way.
When Torgaar, Famine Incarnate enters the battlefield, up to one target player’s life total becomes half their starting life total, rounded down.
* This episode is ALL spoilers so if you are avoiding them, don't listen to this for a few weeks *
A bunch of Dominaria got spoiled due to an internal mix up. Normally we don't discuss leaks but in this case since the information wasn't stolen or anything and the doc ended up being posted officially we will hit some of what caught our eye.
(Spoiler of the spoiler: the set looks insane!)

Sometimes we hit, sometimes we miss. Turns out Jace is kinda meh and Bloodbraid Elf is our new overlord!
Jund is back in a big way but is that the best home...? Elves, Goblins, decks, and a weird Spice Rack card.

Modern Pro Tour happened. Lantern won. How did we get there? Where are we now? What even is life?
We go over the Pro Tour results, review the nuts and bolts of playing against Lantern, strategies for successful sideboarding and as a special treat, since this was (obviously) recorded prior to the B&R you get to listen to our 25% correct predictions toward the end.
All that and a charming Spice Rack card!

* Quick note: We reference a "Call a Judge" segment but it was a casualty of a cat induced data loss. We'll add it to the next episode.
In this episode, "Mr. Ninth Place" and I talk about Tribal decks! 5c Humans and UG Merfolk had great showings at the last SCG event so I brewed up Tribal Warriors with a bunch of new tools and cover some of the other "almost there" tribes.
There were some rumblings of unbannings with the last announcement and we speculate about what that could mean for the future of our beloved format!
