Episode 44: Buy me Brainstorm or go to hell Jan 16, 2021

Show notes

McBain’s getting sucked into another format (Premodern). Jeff’s escalating from MTGO clock scumming to sacrificing children. Quinn’s prepping for a “renting the SNES” binge weekend with his god account. We talk Brainstorm and Force of Negation via some great articles by some people much smarter than us and trick McBain into admitting he’s on team #banOko 1:51 Intro/housekeeping 15:34 Brainstorm, Force of Negation, and current Legacy 1:26:03 That’s gas!

Episode 43: New year, who this? Jan 02, 2021

Show notes

Jeff and Quinn stay up all night to go 1-3 drop and find out Mental Misstep is still a very good card. McBain only uses Twitter names, not government names. The guys kick off what will hopefully be a better 2021 for the Gathering. 1:34 Intro/housekeeping 9:48 The Boreal (Old School) Community Cup is coming February 6th 24:04 Blue Dojo’s Unlimited Power 47:32 What can be unbanned that you’d be happy about? 56:43 What have you been playing in regular Legacy? 1:22 Magic New Year’s resolutions 1:32:20 That’s gas!

Episode 42: Flagstones of Our Year (get it? that rhymes) Dec 20, 2020

Show notes

Jeff buys Force of Wills (but not the blue duals to use them with) as a birthday gift to himself. Quinn creates a fake Cameo for Jeff’s birthday (we got him a real one later). McBain spends a lot of the podcast silently signalling us to keep it moving, as well take a look back on the year that was. A year that, it’s safe to say, was unlike anything we expected going in. 2:22 Intro/housekeeping 10:49 Breach 15:02 Rona 23:57 Companions 35:54 Jumpstart 43:49 The Walking Dead 50:01 Eternal Weekend 55:21 Where are we now? 1:01:01 2020 Awards 1:44:23 That’s gas!

Episode 41: That's just the flavour text, actually Dec 04, 2020

Show notes

Jeff’s still too busy scumming peoples’ clocks on MTGO to play Thursday Legacy. Quinn’s starting a Go Fund Me so he can afford to hold a Moat, just for a second. McBain makes his musical debut in the intro! There’s not much to talk about this week, so we only filled up… an hour and a half. 1:27 Intro/housekeeping 5:21 Legacy Unlimited Unban List 22:49 What have you been playing? 39:42 Spicy decks from last week’s dump 1:25:22 That’s gas!

Episode 40: Free Mind's Desire Nov 22, 2020

Show notes

McBain isn’t amused by Jeff and Quinn’s punning. Quinn dreams of an 8 Strip Mine format. Jeff dreams of 4 Tundras. The cast talks the Legacy ban list and what cards might be safe to put back into the format. 1:05 Intro/housekeeping 11:30 Commander Legends 15:30 Legacy Unchained/what can come off the ban list? 1:3:47 That’s gas!

Episode 39: We're not a Warcraft podcast w/James Hsu Nov 07, 2020

Show notes

McBain’s still trying to beef with the Dead Format. Jeff has some actual housekeeping. And maybe Quinn would rather be talking about Lebron with special guest James Hsu! 2:41 Intro/housekeeping 7:32 James 1:29:58 That’s gas!

Episode 38: At least we didn't have to sleep in the airport this time Oct 24, 2020

Show notes

The guys take a looooong time to recap Eternal Weekend. And they didn’t even get to play old school or hit the bar after. Jeff returns with a song! Quinn finds the cast a sponsor. McBain tries his best to stop them both from going off the deep end about 2019/20 cards (as usual). 1:38 Intro/housekeeping 6:13 Eternal Weekend 1:28:35 The EW meta + Quinn and Jeff complain about cards they hate 1:58:13 That’s gas!

Episode 37: it's a wankle Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

The guys speculate about Eternal Weekend… which was announced officially the morning after we recorded (go sign up), talk about what we’ve been playing recently, and weigh in on the Walking Dead Secret Lair before getting into better ways to personalize your deck. 1:47 Intro/housekeeping 12:12 What we’ve been playing lately 47:46 Don’t open, dead inside 1:00:58 Personalizing your deck 1:29:31 That’s gas!

Episode 36: Nam'd if you do, Gaak'd if you don't Sep 27, 2020

Show notes

Episode 36: Nam’d if you do, Gaak’d if you don’t McBain’s back to keep the boys in line by letting us **checks notes** record for almost 2-hours. Quinn jams Infect online like a 10-year-old in the 90s with a rented SNES game for the week. Jeff tries (and fails) to make senpai JTL notice him. And the cast welcomes 2020 PAX Legacy Champion and multiformat killer, Nam Dang, to talk about all things Hogaak! 1:27 Intro/housekeeping 3:58 Quinn plays MTGO 19:59 Jeff plays the PAX Legacy Championship 41:25 Nam Dang on winning the PAX Legacy Championship with Hogaak 1:35:00 That’s gas!
