Temple of the False Pod

We have a guest! And he's our very good friend, a person who has taught us so much about the game, a person dedicated to every aspect of the game, and who is always coming up with new ways to freshen…

Andy has never built a true spell-slinging deck, so when he opened Prismari in his Silverquill Prerelease pack, he thought he'd give it a try. How'd he do? Well, you tell me! (I think he did pretty w…

We always seem to have a non-four number of players, and it always creates a moment where we need to decide how to proceed. Four is easy, play some EDH! But five? six?! SEVEN?!! What do we do? Well, …

Basic lands are one of the first things you learn in Magic, and because they're so, well, basic, they're easy to take for granted. We all do it, and it's time to sit down and stare at them. Metaphori…

It's like Battlebots but with decktechs instead! Bruce v Andy in a head-to-head, on-theme, glorious battle. But they don't play them here, they just talk about them, which is just as fun! This season…

Yes. But still listen to the episode! We talk about land quality and why 40 specifically (if not 42). We talk about our favorite land of all time! We have a SPECIAL GUEST! It's all a very great speci…

Readers Beware! You're in for a scare! Bruce shares his graveyard beast of a deck for the beautiful UNmander, Grusilda! 

This deck can do some pretty cool things if you and your group want to do cool…

There are cards out there that you will put into any deck you can and sometimes not even realize it. They are your pet cards, and those cards are what give your deck personality. These are just some …

Lands always have your back. They let you cast your spells, but they can be so much more, too! We share our favorite UTILITY LANDS because they're fun and groovy~! Share your favorites with US! 

…

That's right, it's midseason special! Temple's Treasures is back, and while we're sticking with Enchantments, this time we're going with everyone's favorite, GREEN! Check out these bad boys of green …

The Beginning of the game can feel so fast and powerful, as you have access to a full mitt of cards, and throw down your ramp one after another, but did you know there are downsides to playing like t…

Andy brings another of his hobbled-together decks, but this time in a color he normally doesn't play. Raff Capashen plays heavily on opponents' turns, so you know there's going to be some silly nonse…

As we already have some Planeswalkers as Commanders, it doesn't seem like it would be a big leap to just make them all legal, right? Wrong. There's a lot to the subject, and Andy and Bruce have a mod…

With the advent of platforms such as Spelltable, Webcam Commander has become easier and more accessible, but there are some flaws that can't quite be ignored. Bruce and Andy break down why even when …

This week, as we wrap up season 2, we put on our creativity hats and build some decks around an eccentric theme! 

It's May, it's getting warm out, we thought it'd be fun to break out the grills and c…

We take some time to address the tutor problem. What the tutor problem is, is when do you play them, if at all? Are they too good? Should I just run another land instead? See, tutors allow you to use…

Threat Assessment can be one of the most intimidating things in Magic, especially when you're new to the game. The everchanging boardstate and the possibility of hidden information are reasons that a…

As always with our deck techs, it's less about what's in the deck and more about how it was made, what it's trying to do, and tell some stories surrounding it. Bruce, this week, brought to the table,…

Building a deck is more than just slotting in cards into a template. It's knowing how things work in your meta, it's knowing your budget, it's figuring out HOW you want to play Magic: The Gathering. …

That's right, everyone's favorite segment, where we dig up some treasure, is back! This week Andy and Bruce talk about some powerful Red Enchantments that rarely see play.
