Dominaria's Judgment 132: Violent Cloutbursts

This Monday's B&R update  took a big swing at some weird aliens while ignoring the elephant in the room. We're back for some characteristically peaceful statements about the bans we did and didn't see and where Modern and Pioneer stand as they come back into the spotlight.

Dominaria's Judgment 131: Timing Out In Chicago

Your hosts and many friends of the show spent a long weekend in Chicago winning and losing (and drawing... repeatedly...) with a lot on the line. Dom is finally back in Canada and on the air with war stories and hot takes before the axe understandably falls - a Pro Tour, a Standard not-a-GP, a MagicCon, and all the ear-splitting hooting and hollering around them.  Patreon / Twitter / Discord Dom on Patreon cftsoc's truly splendid reclamation  

Dominaria's Judgment 130: PT Chicago Predictions

  The semi-regular Pro Tour predictions episode with Jarvis Yu returns to stakes some claims about Pioneer, Draft, and even a bit of Standard for the $75k Open at Magic Con Chicago. Join him and Ari as they prove themselves right (or wrong) about a wide spread of topics, even if they refuse to weigh in on the great pizza debate. Patreon / Twitter / Discord Dom's Patreon

Dominaria's Judgment 129: Jarvis Yu-wgmoth

Ari has restored his appreciation for Yawgmoth in Modern, and Jarvis Yu steps into the pod to discuss why the deck he is likely playing at the upcoming Regional Championship has gone from a solid combo deck with flaws to one of the undeniable best decks in the format.

Dominaria's Judgment 128: Manor Murder Marathon

Nobody knows what the hell to do with most of the cards in Murders at Karlov Manor so we put our most dogged detectives on the case and let them yap for hours about the bizarre combo decks coming to a Twitch stream near you - plus, a look at the results from the first weekend of Modern RCs and the format's relative stability heading into Denver and Ottawa.   2:20:30 RC Ghent + Modern Update Patreon / Twitter / Discord Dom's Patreon

Dominaria's Judgment 127: Setting Standards + Information Cascades

Standard season is full swing (allegedly but also actually?!) and there's somehow less Standard content than ever. We take a look at why that information isn't cascading any more and try to plug that gap ourselves with a tour of everything from Domain to the black midrange decks (in all the colours of the rainbow) and, inevitably, the Overslime itself.  Patreon / Twitter / Discord Information Cascades (Chapin) Dom's Patreon Domain guide by Sean Goddard/Beekeeper Slogurk guide by Jason Ye ($, free over time)

Dominaria's Judgment 126: 2023 in Review, Looking 2024-ward

A long and busy year for Magic is over and a new one is already underway so we thought we'd take stock before another wave of discourse overwhelms us all. We take a look at the cards and sets of 2023, the hits and misses, and the return of the Pro Tour (and the elephants holding it up). Patreon / Twitter / Discord
