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

Dominaria's Judgment 125: Eternal Weekend Storytime

Dom and Ari were reunited in paper (...in the flesh? in person?) at Eternal Weekend along with hundreds of thrill-seeking gamers keen to enjoy the Cadillac of Magic. After reeling from his swift 0-3 (which was somehow not the most tragic exit from the tournament) and dabbling in Legacy, Dom found an even more fake format he can win in - does Santa have a Premodern episode in the pipeline?! Ari actually won a lot of matches, as he is wont to do, and gives a former EW Legacy Champion and epternal Legacy boomer's take on its current state. Plus Pioneer is stuck in a loop (or is it?) and the first big Modern not-a-GP post-ban is won by... Scam. Obviously.  Patreon / Twitter / Discord

Dominaria's Judgment 124: Weighty Banter

The prophecy has been fulfilled and bans are in. We're back for a not-so-rapid reaction to the changes, their explanations, and where Pioneer and Modern go from here. 16:38 Pioneer 41:38 Modern   Patreon / Twitter / Discord
