Reserved List Card Prices Experiment Pt. 1
January 05, 2021 17:36 - 16 minutes - 30.1 MBIn 2020, Reserved List cards were being bought out at ridiculous mark-up prices. With the beginning of 2021, I decided to take a closer look at the market prices of some Reserved List cards in my personal collection and compare how much they are worth now versus what they may be worth in 6-12 months' time. I intend to return to these cards later to see if their prices have changed.
What I Like About: Battlecruiser EDH
January 04, 2021 19:12 - 14 minutes - 25.6 MBBattlecruiser EDH, per my definition, is a low-powered meta where pretty much every card ever printed can be viable in the right deck. I personally find this format very enjoyable because it allows for lots of 'ah-ha!' moments and tons of interaction. You can find more episodes of my podcast on Spotify, Google Casts and Apple Podcasts. I can also be found on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine.

What I Like About: Jank Brews
December 22, 2020 01:39 - 14 minutes - 26.6 MBEveryone has a different definition of what constitutes a "jank" deck.

What I Like About: Commander Legends Sealed
November 25, 2020 03:13 - 10 minutes - 18.6 MBAfter playing a few rounds of Commander Legends sealed (6-booster pack sealed), I share my thoughts on why I really enjoy this format and the new options that it brings to the table.

Secret Lairs and Unique Card Mechanics for FOMO Cards: A Response RE: Mechanics ONLY
September 30, 2020 19:38 - 19 minutes - 35.8 MBA lot of Magic Social Media has gone ballistic over the reveal of the new "The Walking Dead" Secret Lair cards, which for a variety of reasons can cause concern to players across multiple formats. While I am not going to disagree with the issues that have cropped up over morality of character decisions, issues with Magic's ongoing story (with crossovers with TWD) or the direct-to-players card sales from Wizards, I do not believe that Secret Lairs or unique mechanics on Secret Lair cards bre...

Mass Land Destruction a New Staple due to Lands Matters?
September 18, 2020 03:58 - 17 minutes - 31.7 MBWith the release of the new Zendikar Rising set, many EDH players are left wondering if Mass Land Destruction needs to be a new staple in their decks to hose Lands Matters decks. I lay out my reasoning for why this is an overreaction since no one deck dominates the format and because MLD is frowned upon for a reason in most play groups since it sets everyone back, not just those abusing their lands triggers.
My Thoughts on Zendikar Rising
September 15, 2020 02:29 - 15 minutes - 28.8 MBMy brief thoughts on the new Zendikar Rising set.

What I Like About: 60-Card Constructed
July 08, 2020 04:21 - 15 minutes - 29 MBThis episode of the "What I Like About" series looks at 60-card constructed decks with no organized format in mind - just playing with 60 random cards that you threw together and call a "deck". It's how I started playing Magic, and still influences how I build my Commander/EDH decks to this day. You can find me on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine as well as on Spotify.
Fun Size Spotlight: Spellgorger Weird
July 07, 2020 02:51 - 6 minutes - 11.4 MBToday's Fun Size Spotlight focuses on Spellgorger Weird, a 2/2 common from War of the Spark! I like this card in any deck that runs red as a color because it can build up slowly into a huge threat just by playing other spells! You can find me on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine as well as on YouTube. Also check out my work on Spotify.
A Response to Negativity and Hypocrisy in the MtG Community
July 02, 2020 22:06 - 14 minutes - 27.3 MBThis is an episode where I diverge from my usual content to discuss how negativity and hypocrisy in the MtG community is toxic and must be addressed for this great game to endure and appeal to everyone. These thoughts are unfiltered and unedited.
Fun Size Spotlight: Rising Populace
July 02, 2020 17:41 - 4 minutes - 8.52 MBToday's Fun Size Spotlight focuses on Rising Populace, a white common from War of the Spark. It's an underrated card in Aristocrats-style decks that include white since it grows larger every time a creature you control dies. Listen to my work on Anchor FM and Spotify! I can be found on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine .
Fun Size Spotlight: Prosperity
July 01, 2020 21:11 - 5 minutes - 9.32 MBToday's Fun Size Spotlight highlights the blue sorcery card, Prosperity. It's a card that I used in my first real Commander deck (with a Sultai Mill/Wheels theme) because of its flexibility to not only draw me cards, but also force my opponents to draw cards as well. Make sure to check out my other content on YouTube and on Spotify! I can be found at @MTGInQuarantine on Twitter. Theme Music" "Atlantica" by Speed Limit 35.
Fun Size Spotlight: Lazotep Reaver
July 01, 2020 04:18 - 4 minutes - 8.23 MBThe first episode of Fun Size Spotlight focuses on one of my favorite cards of all-time, Lazotep Reaver! A staple of my earliest MtG decks from when I began playing the game, the Reaver has always had a special place in my decks running black. The Spotlight covers its inclusion in my decks as well as why a 1/2 for 2 mana that gives two bodies is worth it. Please check out my YouTube and Twitter account at @MTGInQuarantine!
Triple Threat Deck Challenge: Selesnya Enchantress + Token Aristocrats
June 30, 2020 23:45 - 16 minutes - 29.7 MBThe first episode of the Triple Threat Deck Challenge follows me as I build a Selesnya (Green and White) EDH/Commander deck with Asmira, Holy Avenger as my Commander. The deck seeks to use strong and cheap enchantments with good Enter the Battlefield effects to maximize value, and has ways to recur those cards back from the graveyard. We also want to build a large token army that we can either use to attack our opponents or to sacrifice to make our Commander stronger. I used the followin...
What I Like About: Chaos Cards
June 30, 2020 23:37 - 16 minutes - 31.1 MBEpisode One of the "What I Like About" series, I delve into the reasons why I really enjoy playing with or against Chaos Cards, specifically Scrambleverse and Warp World. Often viewed with disdain because they disrupt board states, I make the argument that they should be given a chance in Commander as the enjoyable and variable cards they were designed to be. The "What I Like About" series highlights cards, strategies, and other topics about Magic the Gathering that I particularly enjoy. ...
Episode 1 - Introduction to the Channel
June 30, 2020 23:30 - 12 minutes - 23.1 MBHi there! Welcome to the MTG In Quarantine podcast - I'm your host, MJ. I wanted to use this introduction episode to explain a little bit about my background with MTG and what I hope to accomplish with this podcast and this channel. With a lot of negatives within the game currently dividing the MTG player base, I figured that it was necessary to take a step back from these issues and look at things that I personally enjoy about the game. Positive vibes lead to happier players and a better ga...
