High Fantasy

[Unlocked] ILYM PRESENTS: WARHAMMER 40K pt.1.5 - Build A Commander Precon Deck

Unlocked from behind the paywall - Tor, Zach, Mike, and the Belly sit down for a classic ILYM “Build-A-Set” episode where the gang predicts what the upcoming Universes Beyond Warhammer 40K commander decks will look like. This is also ostensibly a continuation of Tor’s ongoing Warhammer 40K lore series as you will find that putting constraints on Tor’s beautiful lore mind is an impossible task. Join the I Love You, Mana Patreon to have full access to the ongoing Warhammer Lore series as well...

March Magic Megasode

We smashed two episodes together. That means two rounds of March Magic, two stories from Mike's dad, and double the hurt feelings.

Butterbar

It's Dragons vs Dwarves, Wizards vs Knights, Zombies vs Hydras, and Angels vs Slivers are on the docket today. Also Mike's got another story penned by his father.

Day One This Started From

Mike shares a short story his father wrote. We're doing a MTG tribal bracket. You know, like that March Madness thing that we completely understand.

The Animagic

Zach tells us about the time he used anime to talk to a girl. We have a very nuanced and respectful discussion of Japanese culture and kamigawa.

Try It Out on a Hotdog

Mike thinks that he deserves presents. Some rat talk in this. Zach tells us about his father's side business. Were talking about words on cards.

ILYM PRESENTS, MTG Stonks ft. Uber Chewy

If you thought GameStop was the only place to pick-up hot stonks (stocks), check out the Magic the Gathering Reserved List. Reserved List card prices have been blowing up since January, and in this episode, we’re going to cover the hottest price trends in the Magic secondary marketplace. Our platinum angels, Uber Chewy and Belly of Steel, join us to talk about the phenomenon that’s dominating the MTG Stonk market. This episode is packed full of content - we also give advice about buying card...

Kaldheim Carnival

This ones also about Kaldheim. There's lots of card talk, art talk, and carnival talk.

ILYM Presents, Dwarf Deck Tech

Our beloved historiographer Belly does dwarf tribal.

Cold Home Creamery

The boys dive into some Kaldheim Lore. David Lynch stops by to sing a song.

Year in Rearview

Were back from our break and we've got a colossal retrospective on Magic in 2020 for you all.

You Don't Fix Your Mouse Problem With More Bread

This episode was recorded almost two months ago. Tor felt it was a bit too political to release. Recent events have made this episode's release necessary though. If you don't care about that stuff, just skip the first sevenish minutes of the episode. The other stuff we talk is worse, though. Shout out to the legend shoenice. There's cracker and bread reviews. Mike claims he can get us onto prestigious podcast. Given this episodes aged nature, it's very likely that Mike's plan didn't work. Al...

There's Like Two Poultrys

This is our Thanksgiving episode. Mike and Tor have a spirited discussion about food. Billy Bob Thornton comes up too. Zach goes too far. Tor tries to talk about Morrowind but is hindered by a mysterious internet noise and his cohosts. There's a bit about figurine hunting.

The Guy Who Said He Did It and got Caught

This is Tor's new favorite episode. We can't adequately prepare you for this. We definately review the new I Love You Mana official Ricky Ramen flavored alcoholic seltzer. Thank you Brewmaster Uberchewy Chris for your expertise and thank you Belly for the amazing art.

Name-A-Phylum

The non paywalled debut of DMoon's new theme song. We had to white noise a part to protect us from libel. It wasn't because we were saying bad things. Zach has a classic Zach moment. We truly do not know how he does it. Concrete is an exothermic reaction, c'mon Tor. We play some real-or-fake with custom cards. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=6277657&fan_landing=true https://teespring.com/stores/i-love-you-mana

Commander Legends Megasode

A massive ep with something for everyone. Grant comes back to help us with a deep dive into commander legends. There's some sword talk too. We couldn't remember Discontinuity. The layer stuff also comes up https://www.patreon.com/user?u=6277657&fan_landing=true https://teespring.com/stores/i-love-you-mana

Big Beautiful Cerveca

Mike tries to back out of a deal. Tor orders dinner. Zach undergoes what can only be described as forced adoption. I Love You, Mana gets a new friend. We also touch on the upcoming commander set. We have an actual wholesome moment in this one. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=6277657&fan_landing=true https://teespring.com/stores/i-love-you-mana

The Challenge

We continue our campaign of willing worse and worse MTG products into existence. Mike and Zach enter into a titanic pact.

Oh Crapton! My Crapton!

Zach gets in an accident Please contribute to our theme song contest, you could win a mana crypt. Mike promises that he will shave his head into whatever the mana pampers desire. I (tor) can only promise that the mana crypt part of that will be fulfilled.

The Walking Dead and Zendikar

This episode exists in a ridiculous universe where magic decides to do a walking dead tie in set. Try to go with it, we know it's kind of out there.

Speed Runners Against Gentrification

God bless our beautiful, desperate game. This is our Zendikar breakdown. We also introduce a theme song contest.

The Final Day Was Not Streamed

The final day, it was not streamed. We talk about another MTG related screw-up. Right after roughly fifty minutes of other stuff.

Golf Office

I want to know if the polish pcp drink i talked about is real or not. I probably imaagined it. We write the next great awkwardporn sitcom. Mike is the bugcop. Zach got crazytaxied.

MGMT

This ones about the management. The folks who get the financial stuff done. Featuring Aaron Isaacs.

This is About that New Commader Thing, also WW2

Zach's mom gives us a reality check. Lots of apologies in this one.

Only Pampers: I Love You, Mythic

This one is Only for the Fans. A shirtless I Love You, Mana crossover event featuring BellyofSteel and Sam Ihlenfeldt. Lots of Magic talk on this one. Some Arena stuff, draft stuff, variance stuff. There is also a brief period of audio that Tor would deem substandard. He is sorry.

RPG Number Three Teaser

Double Assters and Bans feat Michael Longfellow

Were opening up packs of Magics new premium scratch off product. Maybe we'll talk some bans. But most importantly we have a brief visit from old friend and comedian Michael Longfellow.

Gatorade Presents the Buffalo Wild Wings' Magic the Gathering Podcast

This episode has both old friends and new friends. Possibly new enemies as well. Only time will tell

RPG ep 2 teaser

Available on patreon

Workin Stiffs

Mike and Tor talk about their jobs. Zach joins us later to help us deconstruct the dilbert guy.

The First Benalish Astronaut

Guess the name of the movie that Tor and Mike were talking about for a free card. It will probably be expensive. Mike tries and fails three times to compare something to art deco. Plus like fifteen minutes of magic content. Tor still can't pronounce "soviet." Just like he can't pronounce "phyrexians."

The Part Two

Our batteries died right before Zach solved all the worlds problems through words. Still one hell of an episode. Belly wields the metaphorical wooden bat of words to restore justice to standard. We also try to nail down some ricky lore.
