Sometimes you make a deck, and the you got your pile of cuts. And then you make a deck with those, and you still got a bunch of cuts left. What else is a Commander player to do? Nick, AKA G3 from MTG Lexicon comes on to talk about his Elf themed deck with Numa and Nadier from Commander Legends 1, how he simplified the deck's play patterns with self imposed restrictions, and our observations of Magic and Commander after playing Commander for over a decade.

Two adult men talk about Pokemon. It goes about as well as you expect. Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites. I like your style. You understand what's important. Previous guest John joins me in rambling about Pokemon, going on tangents about Pokemon, and getting emotional about Pokemon. Pokemon's been going on for about as long as Magic, and has its fair share of broken mechanics, competitive and

"It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century. A half-century has passed since Earth began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies. A new home for mankind, where people are born and raised. And die." And where space colonies are dropped on Australia. Oof. I'm joined by my friend Gabe, aka ICETEP, where we chat about our love for the multimedia franchise Mobile Suit Gundam!

If a printed Attraction has a regular holofoil, but the one of Scryfall has the nut holofoil, which one is the legal one? Prophet from the Casuals 7's podcast is here to chat about Unfinity's very own Dee Kay (which I always mix up as either Kay Dee or Day Kee? dunno why). We discuss rolling dice, rolling out Attractions, if Unfinity is the set for us, and did Unfinity ruin Magic again for the 40th time this year? Listen and find out.

Let's change the tempo a bit! Today I bring on my long time friend Alex on for a little bit of Magic, but a ton of Transformers lore! Alex and I discuss the 15 Brothers War: Transformers cards being released in the near future, if their colour identities make any sense to Alex, and the absolute depth of stories many people (myself included!) have no idea that they're missing when it comes to this absolutely monumental franchise. More than meets the eye indeed! Welcome to Unconventional Episode 1,

We take a look at the Phyrexian legends of the set, sprinkled with some extra cards by association, discuss the list of viable Phyrexian legends for their charity events, and then descend into absolute craven behaviour of guesses for Magic the Gathering's future stories...and self indulgence.

They're hackin' and wackin' and smashin'! They just hack, wack, smashin' those shards! Light comes on with some mythic legend....and Armix, a legend that cares about artifacts. They discuss how they start with the deck concept of trinkets, between Clues, Treasures and Food, and applying the legends secondary. To me, it's a lost art at this point, considering modern legendary creature design. Go check out Light on Twitter @ThePhiRexian, and the Armix/Kydele Trinket Tribal deck on Archidekt.

You better keep your arrangement with the Magpie, or she'll seal you in silver and gold and make you swim with the fishes. Marshall, the producer of the MMCast comes on to chat about his Artisan Lagrella deck, we lament the templating of the card, how to utilize her Grasp of Fate+ ability, and then discuss where we should or shouldn't draw lines for Commander subformats such as pauper, CEDH, Artisan and so on. Each has their place, but do we really need to isolate each one? Go check out Marshall's

Never knowing any better, he thinks he's just one big faerie dragon himself, bringing his family along to defend his home. Oh no, there's too many dragons! Ben joins the cast to chat the Izzet combo of dragons and treasures, and how you can quickly churn out an army of fliers to control the skies, raining death on all opponents. We
