Spoiled by a food truck a few days early, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set has been revealed, Officially giving us the complete picture for 2026's lineup of Magic sets! Sam and Connor delve into the product offerings available for the TMNT set, what new and unique products you can expect, and go over whether or not they are worth your hard earned cash! We also discuss concerns about the sets size, hints at upcoming Commander Bracket System updates, and talk about the Holiday re-release of the Final Fantasy Set!

We have found ourselves in a post Magic-Con Atlanta world and we now know (almost...) all the sets coming out in 2026 and you better brace yourself, becuase there are 7 TOTAL SETS next year! With 4 of them being Universes Beyond properties!  ⁨ @TypicalGeminiMTG⁩  and Connor break down all the known information about these 7 sets, go over the value of the next wave of Secret Lair Superdrops, and the previewed collaboration with Playstation!

We got a major update from Wizards of the Coast! Standards Banned and Restricted announcement has been moved up and Vivi is in their crosshairs!!! Unfortunately that B&R won't happen until November 10th... Leaving standard in a very stagnant position until Vivi Orinitier catches the ban hammer. Connor and  @TypicalGeminiMTG  discuss what impacts this may have and why they would choose to shoot themselves in the foot like this. We also discuss Spiderman Prerelease, a possible Lorwyn Eclipsed product leak, talk secret lairs for spiderman and Extra Life, and even tell you how a video game can get you a pack of Final Fantasy!

They said it couldn't be done, and yet here we are! 100 episodes of stupidity and bad puns over the last 4 years! Sam returns for this special episode, where we put him through the trivia gauntlet to catch him up on everything that happened in Magic the Gathering whilst he was gone on his hike of the Appalachian Trail! It's Who Wants to be a Millionaire style with no money at stake and @TypicalGeminiMTG makes up all the lifelines.

Hope you already got your fill of Spiderman! (Let alone Edge of Eternities) because it is already time for Avatar the Last Airbender!!!  @TypicalGeminiMTG  and I preview some of the new cards and explain the set's brand new mechanics! We also dive into Mark Rosewater's yearly State of Design. Discuss some of the successes and failures in the last year in Magic the Gathering. Then try to figure out what possible reason they could have for ignoring the Assassin's Creed set...

I just got back from GenCon 2025! I go over what its like to play in a Regional Championship Qualifier event, partake in a Gavin Verhey Unkown event, and gush to  @TypicalGeminiMTG  about all the cool cards and cooler people I met! We also talk about how suffocating it is to be a Magic fan right now. We hadn't even gotten to the Edge of Eternities release weekend and we are already being bombarded with Spiderman cards, the Soul Stone, and even Avatar the Last Airbender promos! Just let me enjoy my space set!

I sit down with @TypicalGemini to discuss everything you need to know about Edging, ahem.... Edge of Eternities!  We go over all the draft archetypes, set mechanics, card styles, major cycles, and discuss many of our favorite cards from Magic's newest set!   And all of it without ANY innuendo or pun.....

We've been Edging for an Eternity and now Wizards of the Coast slings some web right into our faces with Spider man previews! The very same week we begin the Edge of Eternities prerelease weekend! I also enlist the help of  @TypicalGeminiMTG  to discuss the most recent earnings call where we learn the Final Fantasy set had $200 Million in revenue ON THE FIRST DAY!!! As well as some hints for where Magic's Universes Beyond will be going in the years to come!

The best selling Magic the Gathering set of all time is out and in (some) peoples hands. It's expensive, its beautifully designed, and frankly... its worthy of being the best selling in some ways.  @TypicalGeminiMTG  and I break down the limited environment, the commander decks, and talk about some of our favorite singles from the set!

The Best Selling Magic the Gathering set of ALL TIME gets not one, not two, but three Secret Lair drops with gorgeous art. Surely Wizards of the Coast won't manage to screw this one up... right? Sadly we were wrong. Between 5 hour lines, products selling out within the first hour, lines pausing, scalpers galore, and no transparency; this will certainly go down as one of the worst run drops of all time for MTG. We give you some tips to avoid Secret Lair line clogging, dive into Hasbro layoffs, give a positive update on the TCG Player union fight with ebay, and hypothesize when we will get another print run of Final Fantasy play boosters. Also we give a brief rant about how Marvel screwed up after Endgame and dropped the ball HARD with Thor Love and Thunder.... for some reason.

Ladies and Gentlemen it is not a fun one today. Ebay, who bought TCG Player in 2022, is laying off all of the employees in their Syracuse, New York warehouse, and moving the entire operation to Kentucky. Seemingly in an attempt to stop the Unionization efforts from the Syracuse TCG Player Employees!  @TypicalGeminiMTG  and I discuss the ramifications of this and if there is anything we can do as consumers. We also go over the rules changes to Sagas that will begin with the release of the Final Fantasy Magic the Gathering Set, The Secret Lair X National Association of Latino Arts and Culture: Nuestra Magia, and dating sims that let you... have relations... with household objects and the very concept of Existential Dread?!?!

Between the Through the Ages bonus sheet being available in 1/3 of all play boosters and in EVERY collector booster, The best value in secret lair drops we've seen in what feels like years, AND the general card quality for the set; Final Fantasy is shaping up to be the most pushed set in a long time! But is that a good thing?  @TypicalGeminiMTG  sits down with me to discuss the ending of this spoiler season for MTG x Final Fantasy

Yet again we find ourselves hit by the sadness that is make set debut's and showcases happening after we post to Patreon but before the free feeds... Alas, we trudge on through a major Magic the Gathering Arena update that provides many quality of life improvements to the card economy when collecting cards for new sets, and utilizing new card styles and printings! We also go over the value in the MagicCon Las Vegas Festival in a Box, as well as the Everyone's Invited Secret Lair Commander Deck. That wrap it up by telling you how to let Wizards know your thoughts on the most recent MTG set, Tarkir Dragonstorm!

Tarkir Dragonstorm is THE Magic set of the year! The one set being heralded as the only magic set of the year that FEELS like a magic set, and on one of the games most popular planes too! Connor and Wyatt ( @TypicalGeminiMTG  ) break down all the sets mechanics, card cycles, and point out some of their favorite cards from the adored Tarkir Dragonstorm!

The news kept coming in hot and heavy these last two weeks. The Q1 earnings call isn't just boring statistics, we have confirmation that Final Fantasy Universes Beyond is Magic's besting selling set of all time! Over one month before its release! We also dive into Commander's recent Unbannings and updates to the Commander Bracket Beta system including 18 additions to the Game Changers List. We also discuss the Through the Omenpaths versions of some Universes Beyond sets starting with Spider-Man, and the abyssmal new Chaos Vault Secret Lair Drop

In Classic Wizards of the Coast fashion, some Final Fantasy Starter Kits found their way into the hads of Brazilian consumers... two months before the street date!!!   @TypicalGeminiMTG  and I discuss how WotC would let this happen AGAIN, and how they handled this situation, compared to when we had the Pinkertons sent to a YouTuber's house! We also break down the surprise April Fools Day Secret Lair drop featuring Marvels own Deadpool; discuss our Tarkir Dragonstorm thoughts in the prerelease environment, and some possible future MTG Lego sets!?

Wizards of the Coast has been developing a 3D virtual table top game for Dungeons & Dragons for years and after the Beta release in February... 90% of the Project Sigil development team has been laid off and the product is seemingly dead in the water. We also get to bring in Wyatt (@TypicalGeminiMTG) to the show!  And just in time to go over what you can expect to get from your Tarkir Dragonstorm products! Plus, are Secret Lair's more accessible now???

We have Hasbro's financial report for Q4 2024 and the full fiscal year of 2024 and in a shock to nobody, Wizards of the Coast is the primary revenue driving entity at Hasbro, but interestingly, sales of Magic product are down compared to 2023! Additionally, Spongebob has some bad Secret Lairs, Commandfest's have been dated, and Sam is going away! (for now)

It has been a busy week in Magic the Gathering News!  Magic Con Chicago weekend just wrapped up and thanks to the Preview Panel we saw some cards from Tarkir Dragonstorm (including a new Mox), art from Edge of Eternities, and the announcement of Avatar the Last Airbender being a full Universes Beyond Set for the end of the year! And all of that after the commanders for the Final Fantasy precons were revealed, along with several very... controversial cards from the main set!

Have you ever wondered if you were too fast? If you were too furious? Aetherdrift will speed racer you into another plane of existence! The Dungeon Bros along with our good friend  @TypicalGeminiMTG  discuss the set mechanics and favorite cards released in Aetherdrift!
