Dominaria's Judgment

With Ari attending to a baby sprite dragon and Dom left to judge on all his own, the streams crossed this week as former MTG Grindcast co-host Collins Mullen drops by to talk about requalifying for the PT at RC Minneapolis, Standard lessons for RC Hartford and beyond, and what preparing for tournaments looks/feels like as we all get older (and wiser?)

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  

Bans have struck and every format is about to be caught up in a dragon storm... or are they? We go over the changes coming everywhere - including the podcast itself! 00:00 Intro + Pauper 05:15 Legacy 27:55 Pioneer/Explorer 30:50 Modern 38:44 Standard + Tarkir 1:15:15 Special Announcement Patreon   / Discord  

With Dom on the move this week, Jarvis Yu joins the podcast to yell at clouds during the quarterly pre-B&R announcement airing of grievances. One format is safe from our ire, the others.... who knows, and that's even ignoring that Underworld Breach is finally over.  Patreon   / Discord  

As Breach's reign of terror drags on, we look to a post-ban and post-Breach future and ask whether Modern is fixable as it becomes the focus for RCQ grinders everywhere. After that, we have an exciting first batch of Tarkir: Dragonstorm previews to sink our teeth into - but first, yet another slippery character finds himself in the eye of the storm... 00:00 Breach + post-ban Modern 33:30 Wily Goblins 40:45 Dragonstorm Previews  Patreon   / Discord  

There's a lot to catch up on this week - the Domain-ation of Standard at the PT, the sloppy and scandalous plays on- and off-camera, a smattering of previews from universes within and beyond, and a truly baroque Nonsense of the Year segment... 00:00 Standard 52:27 Limited 1:04:30 "Sloppiness" 1:14:36 Secret Lairs 1:25:15 Previews Planes Patreon   / Discord
