Dominaria's Judgment 170: Bannings and Boomings with Ari Lax

Reformed podcaster Ari Lax relapses briefly to talk through his stint suiting up for Legacy commentary with Jarvis for Nathan Steuer's clinical domination of the DMV Legacy League 5k + Invitational and what the bans mean for a newly disentombed Legacy before turning our attention to... well, everything else!  00:00 Legacy commentary + bans 48:00 Other (non/)bans + the future of Standard

Dominaria's Judgment 168: Loving Modern and Yourself with Paul Green

Shortly after PT EOE I had a thoughtful (+ occasionally, delightfully nonsensical) chat with rising star and Modern lover Paul Green about his rise from local + casual Magic to becoming a Pro Tour mainstay and getting ready for his first Worlds.

He joins Dom for a personal and primeval victory lap and a look at a thriving (?) Modern post-PT as the RCs draw near.

Dominaria's Judgment 164: How's the Beatdown?

No last hurrah would be complete without a timeless (...and somewhat overdue) theory article so here Ari shares what's on his mind as he gallops off into the sunset - the hard problems in Magic then, now, and in between Sam Black on Playstyles Patreon   / Discord
