Dominaria's Judgment 123: Discovering Deja Vu + Vintage/Legacy For EW

Last week we all made a horrifying discovery of something we already knew (Cascade is kinda messed up!) and watched Pioneer collapse on itself as a result. Since this recording Geological Appraiser has passed the test while any hosts foolish enough to register Quintorius got their ivory poached and bans are confirmed for Monday. Until then, we catch up on Vintage and Legacy ahead of Eternal Weekend NA in Pittsburgh, singing the praises of some decks and bombarding others with broadsides. Patreon / Twitter / Discord

Dominaria's Judgment 122: Grief and Fury Dignifying Nothing

After no changes, it's time to turn and face the strain. Ban talk is at a fever pitch, every MTGGoldfish screenshot of a Scam-infested Modern Challenge racks up hundreds of retweets and growls, and Grief has never been more aptly named. Elsewhere, the Beans talkers are obsessed with how to get an edge in the 4C mirror - the only thing that matters when everything else is too free for the Beans. Who needs to be taken down, how should they do it, and will we like what comes next? Show Notes Patreon / Twitter / Discord

CubeCon Report + Cube Meditations

Dom made a pilgrimage to Madison, Wisconsin last month to defend the honour of King Charles or Cube trying. In this solo episode he gives a report from this four-day Cube extravaganza, the lessons for Cube designers and drafters, and reflects on why Magic and Cube are pretty cool if you think about it. 00:00 An ode to Magic, Cube, and CubeCon  33:12 Wisconsin vs England! 37:02 Companion Cube Main Event Day 1  42:50 - Changeling Cube + breaking (down) new formats 58:45 - Artifact Cube + not hosing your own theme  1:03:25 - Creative Cube + the nature of synergy vs goodstuff  Main Event Day 2 1:18:10 - Buildaround Cube + interaction in a world of synergy  1:27:27 - Cascade Cube + the joy of the unknown  1:36:19 - Tiny Leaders + curves 1:42:43 - Interlude + Top 64 + Duplicate Team Sealed  1:46:25 - Vintage Cube but not as we know it Deck Pics/Notes Cube Lists Written Report + General Cube Stuff

Dominaria's Judgment 121: Lost in the Sauce Caverns

Special guests are out and regular programming has resumed as your beloved hosts are back to break down an Ixalan set that actually has some cool cards this time! But first, a catchup on the discourse of the past few weeks, from play boosters (remember those?) to the Marvelisation of Magic past and present and even a vibe ranking of European cities that you might remember from a failed GP visit years ago (maybe not Berlin...) 21:20 LCI Previews Patreon / Twitter / Discord
