Episode 131 - The Gang Goes to Prison In this episode, we steal the Moonsnare Prototype and end up IN PRISON! We hit Kamigawa, catch up with Gadget from Rescue Rangers, then go deep in the catalog to find some sweet sweet synergy with some accidntally Modern legal "all-stars" like...Howling Mine, Storage Matrix and Root Maze! The inspiration for this deck was definitely Brian "BoshNRoll" Coval's sweet Legacy Bant Stasis video which you can and should watch here: /episode/index/show/turnonethoughtseize/id/22253126

Episode 110 - Oregon Trail 12/01/2019

Episode 110 - Oregon Trail First off, apologies for the extreme lateness of the November episodes. November was an insane month in my personal life (I changed jobs and had an unexpected death in the family) so this episode and the next one took a lot longer than expected to release. This episode was recorded live with OG co-host Chris on Discord for Patrons right after the Pioneer announcement. The first round of bans hadn't happened yet but it is an interesting look into what our predictions for the format would be like (we did pretty well). Enjoy this time capsule and thanks for listening! Show notes: Updated Decked Builder affiliate link is: so please check them out if you are so inclined, it definitely helps us out.

Episode 106 - Core 202020 We're playing catch up after a very hectic June so please bear with us. This was recorded pre-Bridge from Below ban so Hogaak was still running roughshod over the format.

Anyhoo, Chris and I talk about the highlights and mediumlights of what was out at the time, what we were playing, a leafy green Spice Rack card and more! Thanks for listening!
