Ep. 18 - Ikoria Complete Spoiler with Skybilz

04/14/20 • 109 min

This week, we're joined by streamer, speedrunner extraordinaire and Genji teammate Skybilz! We're taking a look at the Ikoria complete spoiler and diving into our thoughts on how the set will impact Standard. We go through our power rankings of the Legendary Elemental mutating creature cycle, discuss all the Ultimatums, consider the impact of the Companions on the format, and cover various other cards and their implications. This set will be wild, y'all -- it's just up to us to bust it wide open before anyone else!

BONUS EPISODE: THB Limited retrospective with Rich G

I loved the Theros Beyond Death draft format so much that I wanted to do a little retrospective on it. So I invited my friend Rich G, co-host of the Mythic Legendaries podcast, to come on and chat THB limited with me. This is a super informal, unstructured and mostly unedited conversation, so take that into consideration and enjoy! Regular episode will be released on the usual schedule.

You can find Rich G at Mythic Legendaries on Twitter and listen to their show here.

Ep. 19 - Ikoria Standard Archetypes with Danny West

Returning guest Danny West helps us to work through the monstrosity that is Ikoria! We kick off with a broad discussion of Ikoria and its implications for magic as a whole (are companions the new Oko?), as well as our thoughts on the incorporation of Kaiju into the MTG universe. Next, we go over some of the important interaction and answers in the meta, and finally, we discuss some of the most prominent new archetypes in Standard and our assessment of their viability moving forward. New sets are the best time in Magic!

Danny West stays away from social media for the most part, but you can find him and his unique articles at coolstuffinc.com and also sometimes on Twitch.
