Dominaria's Judgment

The show is back, the Modern PT is back, Amulet is back (did it ever leave?!)... we're all so back. Here/there for the first time is Mason Buonadonna , whose PT Top 8 debut here is no surprise to grinders, Legacy players, or the great nation of Iowa. He joins Dom for a personal and primeval victory lap and a look at a thriving (?) Modern post-PT as the RCs draw near.

There are fifteen sets to cover and one intrepid host to cover them - a monologue on the hits and misses of the set, its implications for Magic, and the many weird little guys within  Patreon   / Discord  

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
