World Championship Decklists & Meta Oct 12, 2021

Show notes

The world championship... is already over! But before it was, Covertgoblue and Arjuna got together to discuss the decklists and the metagame for the tournament. A lot of these decklists will be templates for the meta moving forward, so even though it went a certain way, we expect to keep seeing these lists show up on the ladder and getting refined. Exciting times for Standard!

Michael J Flores Weighs In On Standard SCG Results Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

This week, we have an absolute legend of a content creator on the show – Michael J Flores! He is known for his prolific articles, including perhaps the most famous MTG article of all time, "Who's The Beatdown?" Michael J still writes, currently for Coolstuffinc, and also hosts several podcasts, of which Top Level Podcast is a Crafty Host fave.

This week, we're discussing the SCG Satellite Standard tournaments from the past week, and there is a clear 3-deck format trend emerging: Izzet Turns, Monogreen Aggro, and Monowhite Aggro. We discuss how these decks are positioned, whether black-based control decks have any place in the meta, and a whole lot else about card choices and implications for these decks!

Historic Horizons Set Review (Plus!) Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

This week we do a (somewhat comprehensive) review of Jumpstart: Historic Horizons. These are the cards that we think are going to matter in new or existing archetypes. Unfortunately, the release has been DELAYED UNTIL AUGUST 24. So even more time to do your homework. We also may or may not discuss some other spoiled cards, to Arjuna's deep chagrin.
