Kamigawa Standard Week 1 Meta Review

February 22, 2022 22:23 - 1 hour - 58.8 MB

It's that glorious time again - the time when Arjuna and CGB wax lyrical about what's working - and what's flaming in the dumpster fire - in Standard. Is GW Enchantments a deck? How about Naya Runes? Is the Kami War a meme? How do they stack up against Standard staples like Izzet, Orhov Tokens, Monowhite or Monogreen? All this and considerably more memes are included in this episode.

This past week, Arjuna and Covertgoblue set out to determine the parameters of – and the best decks in – 100 Card Historic Brawl.

Jeskai Mutate Standard Deep Dive

June 21, 2021 21:16 - 1 hour - 66.2 MB

This week, we look at one of the hardest-to-play decks to hit Standard in a long time: Jeskai Mutate. This deck has so many combo pieces and requires so many game actions to get anywhere that it will test your time management and game action bandwidth. As such, we though it would be a good deck to encourage playing to hone your combo deck chops. ALSO, look out for our 100-card Historic Brawl Showdown this Thursday, June 24th at around 2pm Pacific Time / 5pm Eastern! Covertgoblue and Arjuna ...

June 14, 2021 20:19 - 1 hour - 69.9 MB

We all suspected it might happen, so many of us aren't that surprised to see Time Warp banned in Historic. Is it really the fall guy for Mizzix's Mastery though, or perhaps Brainstorm? Looks like the format still has a way to go before reaching stasis.

May 31, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 75 MB

Today, we talk about a number of common pitfalls that players make when evaluating cards and plays.
