Windy Wins

On this episode, Maria and Meghan are joined by very special guest and Resident Tall Guy, Marshall Sutcliffe! You might know him from his podcast Limited Resources or his work as a play-by-play commentator on coverage. Or, again, just from being quite tall. Our three hosts walk us through the recent World Championship and give us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to put together a high-level tournament. Find out what it's really like to cast in the booth for 2.5 hours straight or fight through a mild hurricane on the news desk.

RIP Bert

On this episode, Maria and Meghan record live from Honolulu, Hawaii ahead of the Magic the Gathering World Championship! Get all the info you'll need before the big event ($1,000,000 is on the line, people!) including deck predictions, who our hosts think will win the whole thing, and speculation about Theros Beyond Death draft. LET YE BE WARNED: this episode was recorded on fully jet-lagged brains and there is lots of off-topic discussion about Mary Poppins. How does that happen? You know, no one's really quite sure. But it is delightful, if you're into that sort of thing. A nice off-the-rails episode if there ever was one.

Editor's Note: We had some technical issues in this week's episode (and we still don't know WHY they happened) so a bit of Meghan's Modern PPTQ talk is cut off at the beginning. Don't fret! We had her record a new intro for the piece. Unfortunately, this means no video of this week's episode as well. We'll be back in full force next week!

241: You Got Gravy on My Potatoes!

On this episode, Maria and Meghan say "ahoy!" to Ixalan! They hit the high seas with preview cards galore, as they dish on the shiny new mechanics of the set. Just how good will Explore be? And how do we all feel that Raid is back? PLUS: a frank discussion on language in gaming (keep it clean, kids!), what leaking cards means for the community (hint: not good things), and Flavor Text Theatre that will leave you wishing these two had a movie production budget.

MtA Episode 240: New Pros on the Block

On this episode, Maria and Meghan invite their playgroup to the show. Why? Because THREE of them have just qualified for the Pro Tour!! (That's right, they hang with pretty good Magic players, y'all). Does it feel like qualifying for the Pro Tour is impossible? Listen in as Matt, Greg, and Sam talk about their roads to qualification and how a dream that once felt like it was a million miles away came true. Learn what you can do to increase your chances of qualifying - and hear lots of funny stories about what happened along the way. PLUS: the crew talks spicy new Ixalan preview cards! Pirates and dinosaurs and vampires, oh my!

239: The Command Zone

On this episode, Maria and Meghan record the show from a SUPER SECRET LOCATION! Okay, Okay. It's not that secret at all. It's the Command Zone headquarters! Our intrepid hosts are joined by Commander-in-Chiefs Jimmy Wong and Josh Lee Kwai to chat about Commander 2017, building with Cat-manders, and all sorts of randomness. WARNING: this show goes off the rails (in the best way possible). PLUS: Grand Prix Denver recap, Ixalan Predixalans, and...if you have an Alexa...you may want to unplug her. Don't say we didn't warn you!
