Show notes

Episode 63: Metagaming for 2 Other People Oct 09, 2021

Show notes

Quinn wasn’t listening when McBain was introducing That’s Gas. McBain doesn’t know what "namesake" means. Jeff’s the losingest member of the Canadian Threshold at the first maybe annual, maybe semi-annual, maybe never, maybe when we feel like it Canadian Threshold Invitational. The guys celebrate the return to paper Legacy play in Vancouver. 2:25 Intro/housekeeping 10:27 The first maybe annual, maybe semi-annual, maybe never, maybe when we feel like it Canadian Threshold Invitational 31:30 The return to paper play at Magic Stronghold 44:31 That’s gas!

Episode 62: L.G.S. Artistes Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

The most behind schedule podcast yet. No timestamps, no links, no rules!!! I can't even remember anything that we said to do the "McBain did _____" thing, but we talked about the Legacy Pit Open and Painter. This is easily the worst intro song yet.

Episode 61: I could’ve exiled their Delver, but I took the horse dewormer instead Sep 13, 2021

Show notes

Jeff’s making plays so big brained, they’re tiny brain. Quinn’s storming isn’t even epic, let alone EPIC. McBain’s away on the Sunshine Coast (#TheNumber1LegacySlashGeographyPodcast), so his large adult children have free reign. If you joined us because of XJCloud last episode and are stoked for more high end strategy from a great Magic mind… you’re in for a rude awakening. 1:54 Intro/housekeeping 11:43 We talked about some stuff, but not in any particular order (most of it was Magic related) 1:11:20 That’s gas!

Episode 60: Don't split your Hour of Devastation Plains w/ xJCloud Aug 29, 2021

Show notes

Jeff’s in the market for two Gilded Drakes and a Crusading Knight now. McBain has a couple points to add. Quinn loves Painter, but apparently hates Bob Ross. And the cast is joined by D&T master, John Ryan Hamilton aka xJCloud! 1:14 Intro/housekeeping 14:58 How’d you get into Legacy? 22:35 D&T talk 1:09:00 What’s the worst card you’ve ever registered in D&T? 1:37:10 That’s gas!

Episode 59: Will save children (but not the British children) Aug 14, 2021

Show notes

McBain’s doing his best Mobius and realizing Quinn’s sacred Legacy timeline is too split to restore. The non-variant Jeff is still out there somewhere refreshing MTG Salvation’s D&T thread. The guys talk Magic burn out and reigniting the Legacy fire (honestly can’t believe we didn’t say “Legacy spark” jeez). 2:20 Intro/housekeeping 10:59 Burn out and reigniting the fire 55:56 That’s gas!

Episode 57: With Fun Uncle Dylan Jul 17, 2021

Show notes

Jeff’s on the mic singing about the bonkers white card that he can’t even play. Quinn thinks everything is interesting, which is more interesting than thinking everything should be banned. McBain is AWOL. And Dylan Petter joins us to talk about magnets--how do they work?! And by that we mean Miracles (and also some Doomsday). 1:25 Intro/housekeeping 9:30 Dylan’s Magic origins 14:40 Getting into Legacy and the Miracles heyday 31:19 Bant “Miracles”, Prismatic Ending, and Abundant Harvest 52:34 Doomsday chat 1:17:20 That’s gas!

Episode 56: Curious George Gets a Medal Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

Jeff’s atoning for his clock shenanigans by misclicking when he has the win on board. Quinn’s the Ronald Reagan of Legacy. McBain’s exposing Magic Twitter deep fakes. The guys talk the impact of MH2 on the meta and what Jeff’s been up to now that he’s on a D&T break. 2:04 Intro/housekeeping 12:02 The MH2 meta 1:02:15 Jeff’s non D&T adventures 1:24:23 That’s gas!

Episode 55: Wishing You a Happy Q3! Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

Jeff’s taking a stand against less than 4 Flickerwisps. Quinn’s fully black pilled. McBain probably doesn’t know what “black pilled” means, but he’s trying to keep us positive. The cast talk early MH2 observations and decklists. 1:39 Intro/not-really-housekeeping/whatcha been playing 14:00 The MTGO/paper timeline gap 20:15 MH2 talk 1:08:56 The Prime Time and @tonymurata/into_play appreciation hour 1:15:15 That’s gas!
