Ep.116 Brothers War Flavour Picks
Magic The Flavouring
11/30/22 • 80 min
Magic's first throw back set has a tricky job of balancing flavour that feels old school, whilst still exciting new players and serving the game 30 years after these themes were last explored. Andy and Nathan take a look at what flavour jumps out to them and also examine what different experiences this set provides each of them.

Ep.110 Calm Before The Hype
Magic The Flavouring
08/02/22 • 65 min
With the exciting continuation of the current Phyrexian story Arch on the horizon in the form of Dominaria United, and also the boundary pushing silliness of Unfinity also soon to be released, there is still a lot of hype to be had in this relatively long break from the perpetual spoiler season. So what is getting Andy and Nathan most excited and (predictably) most annoyed?

Ep.82 A Little Flavour Chaos
Magic The Flavouring
08/06/21 • 54 min
Today the guys test their theory, that every Magic: The Gathering card tells a story, by heading to Scryfall and hitting the Random Card button. Whatever card gets pulled up is sure to have a ton of flavour to tell...
Thank you to Scryfall for all the amazing work they do, it really is the best online database for MTG.

Ep.81 Online Exclusive Flavour
Magic The Flavouring
07/30/21 • 48 min
Jumpstart: Historic Horizons introduces brand new, digital only cards to Magic: The Gathering and not only has this created discourse around the divergent gameplay, it also has implications that stretch into the game's narrative and flavour. How much of a change will this be to Vorthos players, and will this trend continue?

Ep.17 Ikoria: Monstrous Mechanics
Magic The Flavouring
04/10/20 • 70 min
Ikoria has just finished spoiler season and the guys talk through it's mechanics and gameplay. Do the set's new abilities deliver on its kaiju battle aesthetic and is the actual gameplay deep enough to justify it's bold design?
Also, Andy makes a feeble attempt to be even handed regarding magic player backlash and Nathan finds a Fox to fill an Otter shaped hole.

Ep.144 Foundations Flavour Picks
Magic The Flavouring
11/12/24 • 77 min
Magic Foundations looks to uphold the absolute distilled core of what MTG is in the game, in some ways to balance the Universes Beyond influx we are looking at in 2025. So what does WOTC consider the quintessential expressions of colour and what cards and themes do Andy and Nathan wish made the cut?

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.

Ep.84 2022: Magic's Wildest Year?
Magic The Flavouring
08/27/21 • 58 min
This year's Magic Showcase detailed some of what we can expect from 2022 and a little bit beyond, and to say it will pull MTG's narrative in all directions is an understatement. What do the guys think of this brave new world for Magic and is this a future Vorthos can get on board with?

Ep.83 So, What Is Your Favourite...?
Magic The Flavouring
08/20/21 • 70 min
The guys return to their kitchen table waffle roots and have a meaningless conversation about which card found in niche creature types is the best. They also discover interesting facts about synergies across types and how many of each one has been printed across MTG's history.

Ep.86 The Mechanics Of Fear
Magic The Flavouring
09/20/21 • 52 min
The guys look at the mechanics of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt and if they properly convey the horror Planes themes. They also dive into how magic design as a whole has changed from each previous trip to Innistrad and highlight some areas were maybe design could be pushed even further...
