Ep.155 Edge Of Eternities Story Review

It's big, it's so, incredibly big. And we ain't talking about the vastness of space. 11 whole story episodes for Edge of Eternities and each one is half a novella in it's own right! So much world building for Andy and Nathan to explore, and an epic Sci-Fi-Fantasy to dive into. (The room this episode was recorded in was not fit for purpose, apologies for the sound quality) Story Articles: https://magic.wizards.com/en/story Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.

Ep.154 Edge Of Eternities: A New Frontier

Ep.153 Colour Changing Planeswalkers

Edge Of Eternities is coming soon to the MTG scene and heralding its arrival is a 3 Mana Value Tezzeret card, that has no coloured pips!?! What does this mean for the character and when have other Planeswalkers shifted their colour identity? And why? Andy and Nathan get into all these questions, and more.

Ep.152 Final Flavouring CLII

The first ever Standard Legal Universes Beyond set takes on the many worlds of Final Fantasy. With many in-game and real world card games already associated with this IP, can the guys guess the flavour of the cards correctly, drawing from minimal prior FF knowledge?

The guys celebrate a milestone of 151 episodes of the pod, and what better way to do so than to talk about Andy and Nathan's 2nd favourite fandom, Pokémon!

Ep.150 No More Bad Guys On Tarkir

Has MTG moved away from the concept of truly evil factions in favour of more abstract villains and grey morality spectrums? The guys take a look at the new Siege cycle of cards from Tarkir: Dragonstorm as a case study and discuss how the concept of the "Bad Guy" has changed in magic narrative and gameplay. Also Andy and Nathan go back across recent lore history and inadvertently justify the actions of some pretty evil characters to prove their point... Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio. Blu...

Ep.149 Resurrection In Magic

Black isn't the only colour that dabbles in the art of Necromancy. Magic proves once again that its Colour Pie is one of the richest veins of Lore in all of fantasy, as each colour has its own brand of life/death spells. Andy and Nathan work through the WUBRG to discuss how these themes are expressed and the metaphysics of what actually counts as resurrection. Also Andy hates on Doctor Who again...

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?Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2Rfc...

Ep.142 Duskmourn Flavour Picks

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.Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Twitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!

The Plane of Bloomburrow presents us with a simpler way of life, full of carrot cake and common good for all, and the set likewise has gone someway to bringing the game itself back down to earth. So, in this slower paced set, which cards make Andy and Nathan leap for joy and clap their tiny paws together in glee?
