Ep.14 Legendary Potential
Magic The Flavouring
03/17/20 • 73 min
Coming to you from what can only be assumed is some sort of cavernous Hall of Legends on account of all the echos, the guys talk through what qualities make a Legendary Creature in the game of Magic, and what Non-Legendary Creatures they would like to see ascend to glory!
Also Nathan takes you through a brief history of the 'Legend' supertype, and bare witness to Andy in a particularly glib mood...

Ep.8 Going Green- Green
Magic The Flavouring
02/04/20 • 82 min
Rounding out their cycle of colour pie episodes, the guys talk through Green and its perceived domination of battle cruiser magic. Does a format's popularity effect how a colour is represented in the game and vice versa, and is this thematically justified in the colour's flavour?
Also how many wolf tokens is too many and is there a beast within us all?

Ep.7 Theros Beyond Death Flavour Review
Magic The Flavouring
01/28/20 • 91 min
The guys breakdown Theros Beyond Death. From Titans to Demigods, this set has a dense lore and only one set to fulfill some high flavour expectations.
What challenges come with returning to a fan favourite Plane? And does Andy have an irrational gripe about the number of creature types in the set (yes, yes he does)? For all that and more join the guys on a trip to the Underworld and back...

Ep.5 The Colour Of Spite- Black
Magic The Flavouring
01/10/20 • 83 min
Do the ends always justify the means? If you're anything like Andy and you play mostly Black, then you may subscribe to winning at all costs! Andy and Nathan breakdown the major tenets of Magic's most amoral colour and how a love of Vampires (from two different sets) sparked their MTG obsession. Once again the guys will also dive into Alpha and discover that maybe it is a good thing that many of these cards are no longer reprinted...

Ep.4 Second The Best- Blue
Magic The Flavouring
01/10/20 • 76 min
Continuing with their cycle of Colour Pie Episodes, Andy and Nathan breakdown what is often thought to be Magic's best colour, Blue.
Through looking at the colour's key principles and at its history starting with Alpha, its easy to see that Blue is a colour packed with flavour and has its roots in the highest of fantasy tropes.

Ep.2 Throne Of Eldraine Flavour Review
Magic The Flavouring
01/09/20 • 73 min
A legendary success, or a grim failure? How much flavour is packed into Throne Of Eldraine? Well, as it is the storybook set, the guys guess quite a bit actually!
Andy and Nathan unpack the set and talk about the direction of Magic story, as well as the design choices and what they mean for the game moving forwards...

Ep.57 Kaldheim Flavour Picks
Magic The Flavouring
01/26/21 • 88 min
The guys talk about the Mechanics, Art, Flavour Text and Cycles of Kaldheim, and discuss if whether one of the most lore heavy sets we have had in recent Magic has been done justice by the text on the cards themselves! The guys also talk about the new Snow frames and whether a Throne or a Cup can be a Commander...

Ep.6 Lightning Bolt Round- Red
Magic The Flavouring
01/18/20 • 82 min
The guys discuss the colour Red and quickly uncover that there is more to this section of the colour pie than destruction and chaos. From Goblins to Dragons, from fury to joy, Red is one of the most versatile colours in Magic and can be used to express the very spark of creativity in this most flavourful of games.

Ep.142 Duskmourn Flavour Picks
Magic The Flavouring
10/07/24 • 91 min
Can you taste the fear? Well Andy and Nathan at least try to as they sample the various spooky flavours of Duskmourn. This set may be one of the most tonally polarised offerings since Ice Age, and it may feel like for every satisfying thrill there's a cheap jump scare waiting around the corner.
