The Best Deck MTGGodlfish Doesn’t Want You To See | EP.157

While Julian seems to be stuck in a slump, and Kai Top8s another tournament, Callum tests the physical boundaries of the format: born a meme, (almost) living the dream after a 4-1'ing a Legacy league, 14-Beanstalk Cascade is his new weapon of choice that turned out to be much stronger than expected. Grab the decklist below and find out whether Ardent Plea is right for you. We also find out why all of us, and we mean ALL OF US, are resolving mulligans incorrectly, and why Julian thinks the rules might actually want to be changed because of it. Oh, and did you know that MTG Goldifsh actively hides one of the very top-performing Legacy decks from ever appearing on their website? This and much more on today's show! 00:00:00 You Are Resolving Mulligans Incorrectly00:22:30 Best Decks of The Last 4 Weeks 00:27:00 MTGGoldfish HIDES this Top3 deck 00:32:50 Kai Top8s Hannover 00:46:30 Showcase Challenge on FIRE! 01:06:50 LEGACY Cascade Beanstalks is Legit https://www.reddit.com/r/MTGLegacy/s/CrBgzYeMrR https://www.moxfield.com/decks/CPFq1H8xI0GMHlFrD5jZ1w https://www.reddit.com/r/MTGLegacy/s/CrBgzYeMrR Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

ASK YOURSELF: Is Your Body Ready For Soul Cauldron? | EP.156

Kai just right onto the cast after a devastating run in his last league, and the rest of the hosts to what they were trained to in the face of such inadequacy. With that out of the way, we look at specifically why RUG Delver has been one of the most popular homes of Up the Beanstalk lately, and why we just can't get enough of that Canadian Threshold vibe in Legacy. Callum then unleashes the beast that is various, nefarious flavors of Agatha's Soul Cauldron and why your body needs to be ready for Phyrexian Devourer's scheduled, once-every-5-years hot week in the format! 00:00:00 The certified worst player of all time00:10:30 Kai goes 3-0 with a 15-year-old deck 00:23:20 There are two Canadians inside of you00:30:00 The Sawatarix Scale of Playability00:32:50 Up the Beanstalk in RUG, but why?00:43:40 SOUL CAULDRON COMBO!everyday-eternal.compatreon.com/everydayeternal Troll Delver Video (legendary!)

Why Kai Daze’d His Doomsday In Italy | EP.154

4Seasons Bologna is the cathedral of eternal Magic, where we practice our religion called Legacy. Returning from our third pilgrimage, the crew reflects on what was a very different experience this time around: all three of us were doing commentary during the European Legacy Masters, skipping Saturday's big side event for it...mostly, as Callum the madman was actually juggling both roles. Tune in for many stories of railbirded Win-and-In matches, and find out how UB Scam massively underperformed, and which flavors of 4c Control were dominating the top tables, along with some sweet Artifact spice! 00:00:00 Julian Almost Gets Scammed00:11:10 4Seasons Team Trios Review00:23:30 Why Kai Counters His Own Spells00:35:40 4Seasons Top Table Stories01:06:10 ELM Commentary Experience & Results01:26:00 Quickest Preview: RUG Beanstalk European Legacy Masters Top8 4Seasons Legacy Main Event Top8 RUG Beanstalk, the next big thing?

MIND’S DESIRE is unbanned & WINNING! | EP.152

QUICK GET IN THE CAR, MIND'S DESIRE HAS BEEN UNBANNED IN LEGACY! As the news hit on our way back home from work, Kai, Callum & I immediately jumped into a call to record our thoughts about one of the most exciting unban in years! Not only is Mind's Desire one of the most epic cards in the history of the game - it also sets a new precedent for WotC being willing to touch cards that were once considered un-unbanable. We touch on different ways to build the deck, look back at the Legacy UNCHAINED Series from 2019 (during which Mind's desire got some action!), and cast our votes where we see the card in 6 months. In the second half of the show, we highlight Mississippi River winning the most recent Saturday Legacy Challenge in the hands of Sean Goddard, and why that deck is causing so much frustration (or pure joy) among players right now. Oh, and SHRAPNEL BLAST is back too. We're living through some wild times right now, and I'm loving it! Bonus Content: right as the show ended, we found Martin 'Nevilshute' Nielsen's first draft of a Mind's Desire deck that he went 4-1 with in a league. Check it out at twitter.com/MartinFSNielsen/status/1688650552358400001 00:00:00 Quick Note from Julian 00:05:00 Mind's Desire is unbanned! 01:03:15 Mississippi River keeps winning! 01:13:35 SHRAPNEL BLAST is back in the format!

WE WENT TO SPAIN! – feat. runkor | EP.151

With Callum currently rocking out on a burning boat in Eastern Europe, Kai & Julian invite Iñigo 'runkor' Villamor onto the show, to look back at their adventures at IMPACT Returns in Spain earlier this month. There, in the very north-western reaches of the country in Galicia, the IMPACT crew had (thus far) rather secretly built the second-biggest recurring Legacy of Europe. We look back at their history which reaches back over a decade to a bunch of guys inside a bar, all the way to the big Legacy+Modern events that are hosting now. Starting this year, Impact is now reaching out beyond the Spanish borders, attracting players from the rest of the continent. As coverage was being switched to English, they brought in Kai & Julian as commentators for both the Spanish Legacy Champs on Friday and the Main Event on Saturday. We look back at a weekend fueled with just the best of Spanish Legacy, people, cuisine, and beaches! If you're gonna miss an episode, don't let it be this one! 00:00:00 Inigo 'runkor' joins us tonight 00:08:00 Funniest Spanish card names 00:15:00 Running IMPACT Returns 01:13:30 Legacy + Beach! 01:20:30 Julian's Modern Misadventure runkor's Twitter runkor's Twitch Impact Returns @ Twitter Impact Returns @ YouTube Top8 Spanish Legacy Nationals 2023 Top 8 Impact Returns Legacy Main Event 2023 Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Take A Bow, Legacy | EP.150

Callum, Kai & Julian gather for a first assessment of the damage Orcish Bowmasters & Friends have done, and are happy they actually brought up a card last episode that Callum completely underestimated. With tons of high-stake events in the books, we take a look at which new cards have actually made an impact, and discuss our feelings about Bowmasters after getting a couple of games in with them. In the second part of the show, we take a look at the results of NRG Chicagoland, SCG Baltimore, and a couple other events. Julian is especially excited about the Creative Technique ("Mississippi River") Cascade deck they managed to camera in round 2 of NRG Chicagoland...that just barely missed the Top8 in the end. 00:00:00 Callum was David Hasselhoff when he was a kid 00:07:30 How good are the new cards ACTUALLY? 00:37:00 So Many Event Results Mississippi River Thread on The Source NRG $5k Chicagoland Results SCG Con $10k Baltimore Manatraders Event Legacy Challenge, 17th June Legacy Challenge, 18th June Legacy Challenge, 24th June Legacy Challenge, 25th June Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Legacy is Back in Black & Callum’s New Painter | EP.149

Have you ever confused a random warhorse for the most glorious king of Rohan? Happens to the best of us. As yet another episode's script is short-notice altered by Callum crushing a tournament (with an altered version of Painter), the crew comes together to reivew Kai's special appearance at the BOTTROP series in, well, BOTTROP and why people paid money to wrestle with him. Also find out why Orcish Bowmasters is about to give Legacy the Wrenn and Six treatment, and completely wrap for the time to come...we believe. To round things out we highlight the results of yet another 300+ player 4Seasons in Bologna, as well as the 100+ players German Legacy Championship - the first one to take place in 12 years! 00:00:00 Kai @ BOTTROP Series 00:15:30 Callum CRUSHES with new Painter 00:36:00 Forth Eorlingas...is gas?!

10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY & Podcasting Awards Show | EP.148

Ten years ago, four guys came together to found what would eventually turn out to be the longest-running Legacy podcast out there. Fast forward a decade, and Everyday Eternal is still going strong, with bi-weekly episodes, questionable takes, and three clowns joined by a dentist to celebrate their tenth anniversary!

To Staff Or Not To Staff – feat. Marcus ‘iwouldliketorespond’ Ewaldh | EP.147

Famed Swedish Legacy Control mage Marcus 'iwouldliketorespond' Ewaldh joins the cast tonight. Together we go deep on his very low-to-the-ground Jeskai Staff list which he's been Top8'ing Legacy Challenges left and right with recently. Marcus prefers an incredibly streamlined approach with no end-game payoffs but balances this out by employing 4 copies of Urza's Saga. This is contrasted by Angelo "wiky" Cadei's Jeskai Staff-less list that heavily leans on endgame Planeswalkers, Shark Typhoon, and Day's Undoing. Going further we also look into an entirely new and unique take on Legacy Control that Phil Bleckman started pushing recently, which gives Julian severe Cunning Wish Landstill flashbacks. 00:00:00 Marcus, what is Control? 00:17:00 Marcus' Jeskai Decklist 00:37:30 The Cadei School of Jeskai 00:46:50 Phil Blechman's Lessons deck 00:57:50 Triumph of Saint Katherine 01:30:20 Dredge is back! 01:32:00 Which Modern shells could work in Legacy?

What's better than Europe & Asia? Australia, obviously. On today's show Kai, Callum & Julian are joined by none other than Lee Hung Nguyen aka 1MrLee, who is currently hiding from the law in Berlin, of all the places. Anarcho-Kai has given him shelter for the night, as 1MrLee joins the cast for a special guest appearance.

The 22nd God of Legacy | EP.145

God is dead. Slain by a mortal, ready to ascend to newfound divinity. For the 22nd time, Japan crowns a God of Legacy, and Kai has all the coverage, background info, and some of the most mind-blowing tech for us. Another big announcement: Kai & Julian will be the *live* on-site commentary duo for Spain's biggest Legacy event of the year: IMPACT Returns in Galicia from the 7th to the 9th of July! With the title of the Spanish National Champion, an even bigger Legacy event on Saturday AND 4 European Legacy Masters slots on the line, we're looking forward to many old & new faces joining us this summer! 00:00:00 Kai Accidentally Burns €1.5k 00:11:00 The EDH Lawsuit ?! 00:18:30 We're going to ESPAÑA! 00:30:45 UW(r) Midrange with 4 Faerie Mastermind 00:37:30 The 22nd God of Legacy Sign-Up for IMPACT Returns!

Our Legacy 3×3 | EP.144

With the metagame slowly settling into place, Kai, Callum, and Julian publish their Legacy 3x3 as it stands today: each one of them ranks their Top3 Aggor, Control, and Combo decks in the format as it exists today - until we realize that one of them completely misunderstood the assignment...and wants to bring Dredge back?! We also take a look at two spicy decks that recently made waves in the format: HankTheObese's BW Arena Rector, and Killabee's new version of Riddlesmith. 00:00:00 Easter in Japan?! 00:27:00 Spice, Spice, Baby! 00:44:00 Julian's 3x3 01:13:20 Callum's 3x3 01:24:20 Kai's 3x3 Et Cetera April Top8 Decklists HankTheObese's Arena Rector Killabee's Riddlesmith The Japanese UG 8Cast Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Julian takes Painter to the final of the Legacy Challenge, with a list from Callum's Monkey School of deckbuilding. Why were there 4 Thorn of Amethyst, even though Julian expected no Storm to show up? And is Staff of the Storyteller the future of UW Control in Legacy? Also, is this the year Humility finally spikes?

Ban & Ban It Goes, Where It Stops Nobody Knows | EP.142

With White Plume Adventurer & Expressive Iterration finally put to rest, Kai, Callum & Julian reflect on the first week of post-ban Legacy. Has RG Initiative lived up to the hype, and how will Delver compensate on both tactical and strategic levels? Two of our heroes look back at their first Legacy Challenge results in this wide-open™ new format, and discuss why Kai's fears of Predict are probably unwarranted. In the first half of the show, we also look back at yet another outstandingly-well-run 4Seasons event in Bologna, in which Everyday Eternal Top8'ed the Team Tournament...after which Callum got lost somewhere in Europe, while Kai joined the Bologna Nerd Club in some remote underground garage. Julian just played Legacy, he is boring. 00:08:30 — Callum's Odyssee across Europe 00:21:50 — 4Seasons Event Review 00:36:30 — We Top8'ed 4 Seasons! 01:14:40 — Thought on the Bans 01:30:30 — Callum Was WRONG 01:49:30 — Callum Bets On This Dinosaur March 6, 2023 BANNED AND RESTRICTED ANNOUNCEMENT 4Seasons Winter 2023, Top8 Decklists Post-Ban Legacy Challenge, Saturday Decklists Post-Ban Legacy Challenge, Sunday Decklists Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

WE’RE GOING TO ITALY…again! | EP.141

While Kai still tries to resolve his identity crisis by adding Expressive Iteration to every deck under the sun, Callum considers bringing back old faithful for 4Seasons Vintage. Because who doesn't remember Goblin Welder's reign of terror back in the day? Meanwhile Julian actually got to ONLY NOW play with Chaos Defiler in a real tournament, as he Top8s Et Cetera Freising. In the second half of the show, we cover all the recent developments in Legacy, as the community heads into yet another massive 4Seasons in Bologna this weekend. We also go about which decks we are going to play in the event(s), and why Doomsday has given Kai so much brain damage, he is no longer able to properly play it on consecutive days. What a noob. Favourite story of the day: Callum's played a deck that terrible at his last event, even the judges suggested he should make some changes - and made a special ruling to allow him to do so. 00:00:35 — Kai Gets Misdirected 00:19:05 — Callum Goes To War 00:28:35 — Julian Top8s Et Cetera 00:41:35 — Viable Budget Decks? 00:49:35 — Callum's Judge Call 00:56:25 — The State of Legacy & New/Rediscovered Cards 01:16:45 — Snuff Out, Atraxa, Spelldance & More Our 4Seasons Travel Vlog Legacy Data Collection - Metagame Report 2023 DNSolver's 8Cast Painter Johannes Gutbrod's Jeskai Tokens Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Kai BLACKLISTS Germany | EP.140

With Julian's journey coming to an end, the entire crew regroups back home again to as Kai rolls out his new economic masterplan: forget #MengucciFinance - this is Sawatarix Economics, and it's here to stay. Somehow the failing Callum and Julian remain unconvinced in the face of Kai's economic genius, but surely our listeners will be able to appreciate our co-host's brilliant business savviness. While Kai has been preparing for the unquestionable riches that are about to come his way, Callum has been slinging some cards in Birmingham's GREAT HALL at the Axion MEGA Legacy event! Seriously, every tournament needs to be held inside nothing less than a GREAT HALL. Accept no less, and check out how even Callum spins out of control as as the team tries to understand how many Painter variants have now been released into the wild - and how new ones are popping up quicker than we can name them. 00:00:00 — Catching up & Cephalid Breakfast 00:20:00 — Callum @ Axion's MEGA Weekend 00:45:30 — Julian's Trade Fair Story 00:54:30 — Kai's Opponent did WHAT?!

ULTIMATE Banlist Review Episode | EP.139

With Julian still on the run, the boys review the entire Legacy banlist card-by-card, wondering how each one compares to the current standards of Legacy. For a hot 2 minutes, Julian thinks Mana Vault could get unbanned before his fever wears off. What starts out as a quick evaluation of some of the more broken cards quickly develops into how they would/could/should be used in 2023 Legacy. Apparently one of them completely breaks Hedron Crab. Tune in for a dynamic yet laid-back episode of shooting the shit. Basically, an escape from the interregnum state of Legacy as everyone waits for something to happen. 00:10:30 — Unban Context 00:15:00 — Banlist Review 02:06:20 — What Motivates Unbans in 2023?

Kai’s 3 Rules About Japan & Julian Wins Et Cetera | EP.138

Kai is finally back from Japan. Did he win the God of Legacy event? No. Does he share his three golden rules about how to make your trip to the land of the rising sun the most enjoyable it could be? Allegedly. Listener caution advised. All we know is that ChatGPT will most certainly do a better job judging your next event than Kai did in his first (and last) appearance as a judge. Catch Me If You Can: Tokyo Drift. In the second half of the show we cover Julian's victory in the Et Cetera Invitational and listen to Callum making the case for...

Dungeon Stompy & Casting from Kenya! | EP.135

Julian jumps from a ship and swims ashore to eat the famous island grass. Is this the first Legacy podcast recorded in Africa? Julian calls in from Kenya, while Callum steals someone else's WiFi to tune in on the day he moved into a new apartment. This leaves this episode with KAI as the most professional member of the cast. Enter at your own risk. I'm editing this episode during a 16-hour stint at home, right after returning from Kenya, and before leaving for Bologna tomorrow at 6am. If this is your first time experiencing the Everday Eternal: you picked the worst episode - or maybe, just maybe: the very best. Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show! Until next time, Julian

In the second half of the show, we go over Callum's insane run in both Challenges, going 13-0 across both Swiss. Of course, he immediately loses to UR Delver in the Quarters.

Axion Tournament Recap & Rise of Naya Stompy | EP.133

With a foreword about Jordan Aisaka The previous weekend, England's Axion Now hosted one of the big non-GP tournaments the UK has ever seen: The Gathering offered the two so-called MEGA LEGACY events, each attracting 100+ players. Everyday Eternal was represented by our professional painter pilot Callum, who managed to navigate his way to two Top16 finishes with Painter. Both Legacy Top8s of the weekend featured some super interesting decks: one a huge blast from the Wilson-Hunter-past of the format and a way to stomp people with Courser of Cruphix - while the other saw the breakout of NAYA STOMPY. Listen to Julian grow from immediately wanting to replace one of the cards in it, to actually ordering a playset before the end of the episode. Oh, and Sticker Goblins makes its first premier-ish level Top8. And Doomsday for 4 Triumph of Saint Katherine gets cast. In the second half of the cast, we also go over the surprisingly short-notice announcement of the 2022 Eternal Weekends, our team composition for the upcoming 4Seasons championship, and answer your listener questions. 00:04:50 — Kai’s Homestory Cup 00:18:50 — Callum’s Axion Experience 00:38:30 — Top8 Decklists 00:55:15 — Naya Stompy takes it down! 01:25:50 — Team Trios 4Seasons 01:51:15 — Eternal Weekend is ON!

WotC REPRINTS* Black Lotus | EP.132

"Back in the old days at Wizards of the Coast, we used to joke about how cravenly greedy it would be to release cards that you could only get with a high purchase price, like only available in a booster box etc. We often said that if we did that it was because we were out of ideas and the grasping suits had totally taken over. Then we would laugh because we would never allow that to happen. We called them 'chase' cards and we knew their single purpose was to squeeze even more money out of obsessed players. Even back then we understood 100% that it was in effect taking advantage of people with certain mental disorders and that it was the wrong thing to do. We knew that many players would see it for what it was, a sign of a total loss of respect for our players all for a pathetic short-term gain. Those cards would have been aimed squarely at benefiting shareholders, not to benefit the players. It would have been disgusting. That is why we never did it, though it was discussed." - Jesper Myrfors, first MtG Art Director (2018) 00:00:00 — Transnistria Safari When? 00:17:00 — Phyrexian Dragon Engine 00:22:45 — Quick Questions 00:33:00 — 30th Anniversary of Whale Hunting 01:06:00 — Premodern: European Championships 01:21:40 — The Legacy Pit Open II 30th Anniversary Celebration 30th Anniversary Edition European Premodern Championship Decklist Premodern Magic The Legacy Pit Open II Decklists Legacy Challenge Top32 Decklists Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Winning the Showcase Challenge with Sheoldred – feat. Maxtortion | EP.131

In an impromptu attempt at amateur science, the crew looks into the effect of pouring a bottle of wine over your keyboard. The results will SHOCK you, as one of us soon gets relegated to a literal casting couch for the rest of the podcast. Oh, and there's Max Gilmore too, who actually CRUSHED the quarterly Legacy Showcase Challenge on Magic Online with Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. Never since the days of Juzám Djinn has a black four-drop creature ruled the tables again, so we're all excited to find out more about it. Oh, and Max happily calls Anuraag Das' bet. Further down the cast, Kai and Max start arguing over the implied equity of making a second "backup" child, and why you should never ask someone out for a date twice...or should you? 00:19:55 — The Big Wine Spilling of 2022 00:31:55 — Max calls Anuraag's bet 00:43:15 — Second Oracle & Other Choices 01:05:15 — Upcoming Changes to Doomsday 01:11:30 — BLACK DINOSAUR STOMPY rulez! 01:19:45 — GR Minsc & Boo Stompy is here and horny! 01:33:35 — Everyone's favourite 2-card-combos Max Gilmore's Twitter Max Gilmore's Doomsday SB Map Legacy Showcase Decklists Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Your Pet Card Sucks – with xJCloud | EP.130

It's a full house today, as the entire crew is joined by famed sky noodle expert John Ryan 'xJCloud' Hamilton. xJ recently relocated his desires into the realms of Dragon Stompy, and used his dark powers to once again almost take down a Legacy SuperPTQ. Nevertheless, his 2nd place finish was good enough to qualify him for the Pro Tour (or whatever the cool kids call it these days). We invited xJ to give us his take on how to build the deck, what the common pitfalls in deck construction are - and answer a whole bunch of questions from our Discord & Twitter. We also showcase a couple of interesting lists from the SuperPTQ, and mock Kai for losing Flying. 00:00:00 — Kai Sawatari loses Flying 00:12:15 — xJCloud Top2's the SuperPTQ 00:25:00 — Decklist Review 01:08:00 — Other lists from the SuperPTQ A Guide To Moon Stompy Deckbuilding - by xJCloud xJCloud's Twitter xJCloud's Dragon Stompy list BR Knights in Legacy BR Knights VOD 5-0 Leaf-Crowned Visionary Elves from the SuperPTQ GWb Enchantress from the SuperPTQ Kai Ranks Legacy decks videos Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Play Every Event For Free with This 1 Little Trick | EP.127

If there's one country that knows what it takes to flavour the shit out of a tournament, it is Japan, where earlier this month, the 20th all-Japanese GOD of Legacy was crowned. However, similar to the Chess World Championship, one does not simply ascend to divinity but instead has to battle their way through a candidates tournament, in order to earn the right to challenge the reigning GOD of Legacy. What sounds like an anime plot is the reality that Legacy players in Japan are living every quarter of the year. In today's episode, the boys browse through the innovation to come out of the candidates' tournament, and the psychology of whether or not you would dare to metagame against a deity. Oh, and Painter wins another big tournament. Tune in to learn more, and finally solve the age-old question of where the North of England actually starts! 00:28:34 — You get a Sticker, you get a Sticker, and YOU get a Sticker! 00:39:24 — 20th GOD of Legacy Tournament Japan 01:39:34 — Painter wins the Legacy Challenge 20th GOD of Legacy Event Website Top8 Decklists - God of Legacy Top16 Decklists - God of Legacy Video Coverage - God of Legacy GOD-DECIDING Decklists Legacy Challenge Top32 Decklists, 24th July 22 Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Today's episode is mostly travel stories from around the world: Callum just returned from his band's month-long tour of the American Midwest and East Coast, where he picked up, among other things, an 18-inch machete at Walmart, and played in front of some of the biggest audiences ever...yet! Julian meanwhile declined an absolute bargain on a Maasai-knife in Kenya, where he spent the last three weeks working from a hammock above a lagoon. And Kai does, what Kai does best: destroying people with Doomsday, at the legendary Et Cetera Legacy tournament in Freising.

We Are Scared of This Turtle! | EP.118

Legacy developers are currently working in full overdrive, creating fast-combo decks out of removal spells, and conducting ethically questionable experiments trying to merge two or more decks into one. Callum, Matt & Julian dive into the madness and uncover a hidden gem that had been lurking around the format for a while, before having its breakout result rather recently. The crew also explores the uses of it in especially UB "Tempo" Doomsday and why Temporal Mastery is now the most playable Miracle spell in Legacy. In the second half of the cast, we go over the most playable cards in Kamigawa Neon Dynasty, and why Kappa Cannoneer is actually the scariest cards of the entire set! 00:04:34 — Malevolent Hermit 00:13:00 — Next Level Doomsday 00:27:55 — Julian's Favourite Mindgame 00:32:45 — Kamigawa Neon Dynasty Spoilers 00:57:05 — The Most Hyped Card 01:08:00 — Swift Reconfiguration COMBO 01:17:45 — "This card is fucking scary" 01:26:55 — Listener Questions Jax' Swift Reconfiguration Combo Deck Mopoanda DESTROYING with Turtle MinMaxBlog Article about UB Tempo Doomsday Kamikaga Neon Dynasty Spoilers Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Have You Seen This Monkey? | EP.117

Ragavan has been banned. Our sweet prince of Legacy, beloved by many and revered by even more, is no more. Wizards of the Coast has taken action, and our simian sidekick will speak, see or do no evil anymore. But as a wise man once said: don't be sad it's over - be glad it happened. In this spirit, Callum and Julian analyze WotC's stated reason for banning the monkey, and why this B&R announcement has already pathed the way for the following one "soon" after. We also take a look at the state of the format we're now just entered, and which decks as well as card choices will constitute the upper tier of Legacy moving forward. In the first part of the episode, we also look at Starcitygames' paradigm shift in content policy, and why it's a real watershed moment for the way content creation will happen be accessible in the future - for ALL of Magic! 00:13:24 — SCG Content Policy Revolution 00:27:29 — Legacy Challenge Change 00:28:51 — Ragavan Be Gone 00:41:14 — WotC: Classic Staples Less Likely to Be Banned 00:50:39 — EW Data Inconclusive & Favourite Raga Moments 01:03:19 — This Is What Legacy Will Now Look Like 01:14:54 — How To Actually Enjoy Yourself Callum's Aggro Painter Banned & Restricted Announcement, 25th Jan 2022 4-1 with UB Dane Mill Video SCG Announcement Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

An Intro To Modern with Andrea Mengucci | EP.116

After Callum had been shamelessly stood up by our scheduled guest, Queen Elizabeth II of England, we instead invited the ONE and ONLY Andrea Mengucci of Italy to save the day and introduce us to the current state of Modern! The format has recently gotten tons of praise following the release of Modern Horizons 2, with some voices even comparing it to the “Golden Age” of Legacy. After checking with our Patreon Discord, our supporters were overwhelmingly in favour of dedicating an episode to learning all there is to know about why Modern is such an amazing experience right now, so here we are! This episode is especially for those who want to make their way into the format or want to understand it from the point of view of one of Magic’s greatest players & personalities. Andrea’s passion for both Magic and Modern in particular really shows throughout the episode, and we’re super excited to follow him into the mystical wonderland that is Modern right now. 00:02:02 — Legacy UW Spirits Mini Primer 00:14:00 — Andrea Explains Italy 00:27:54 — Pauper Format Panel..for Legacy? 00:35:55 — What Makes Modern So Great Today? 00:47:35 — Strategic Constraints of Modern 01:18:30 — 9 Of The Most Popular Modern Decks 02:09:50 — What Would Andrea Play in a Big Event? 02:18:25 — 5 More Listener Questions Andrea Menguccis’s Twitch | YouTube | Twitter | IG | CFB Articles Callum’s Legacy UW Spirits Pauper Panel Announcement Reid Duke’s Modern Power Ranking Bryant Cook’s Twiddle Storm Thanks a lot for tuning into today’s show!

Julian Almost Goes To The Pro Tour | EP.115

For the final episode of the year, the full triforce assembles once again, as we get military clearance to have Matt back on the cast. In the first part of today's show, we try to stay on the topic of Julian almost qualifying for the Pro Tour through the Legacy Showcase Qualifier, playing the weirdest version of Elves to date, but the conversation escalates the most absurd discussion of the year..thus far. Once things get back on track we dive deeper into one of the highest-profile/stakes event of the year, as Callum rediscovers his desire to crush the MTGO meta. Someone brings up Siege Rhino. For the second half of the cast, we discover the three of the biggest news items in Legacy and/or Magic as a whole. The one that completely blindsided everyone surely was Wizards of the Coast selling(?) MTGO and everything that comes with it to Daybreak Games - a company both famous for killing off dying games BUT ALSO rejuvenating games stuck in a dead-end. Only time will tell where MTGO will be headed under their leadership, but Julian has a revolutionary idea of what this might actually mean for the MTGO economy. We also cover all the upcoming big Paper events, and why everybody's favourite lazy Sunday afternoon activity is about to come back. 00:04:50 — Julians Top4's the Showcase Qualifier with Elves 00:13:35 — Stupidest Discussion of the entire Year 00:18:35 — The Allegory of the Stones 00:22:10 — We finally talk about the Showcase Qualifier 00:37:15 — Julian ALMOST Q'ed for the Pro Tour! 00:42:05 — No Quirion Ranger AND no Nettle Sentinel?! 00:44:45 — WotC parts ways with Magic Online, WUT?! 01:01:35 — NRG & SCG Tournaments Announced 01:09:05 — The Impact of Alchemy Showcase Challenge Top24 Decklists Julian's Elves List Kanister's BR Reanimator List NRG Series Announcement NRS Series Championship - Bo5 Format Explained SCG Tournaments Announcement Daybreak Games Takes Over MTGO What is Alchemy?

Winning Eternal Weekend & The State of Legacy | EP.114

Alex 'Vivarus' McKinley joins Callum & Julian to celebrate his recent win in the Eternal Weekend Vintage Mox Emerald Championship. Alex and his crew applied specific principles to constructing the Grixis Tinker Breach list that guided him all the way to the trophy, and we promise only 90% of it is gonna about playing the most broken card they could find. Is Preordain secretly the best still unrestricted spell in Vintage? In the second part of the show we take a look at Legacy, and its pathological addiction towards adding more colours to decks - and getting away with it! Especially the most recent Challenges & the NRG Series have driven this trend up another notch. However, unlike during previous Blue Soup Seasons, there's a noticeable trend towards loading up on Wastelands and Life From the Loams, instead of adding a 5th colour. Seriously, what happened to everybody's favourite trend of 5c Blood Moon? Towards the end Julian is interested in bringing back an old classic, but Callum is just dead inside :-( 00:10:47 — Alex McKinley & Grixis Tinker Breach 00:24:37 — Secret Keyword: "Awesome" 00:25:57 — Alex' Rundown of his EW Vintage Win 00:49:02 — LQ: What are you general thoughts on Vintage & MH2 in it? 00:51:57 — LQ: "Will you come to my FNM?" 00:55:02 — LQ: How did you prepare for EW and what do you do differently? 00:56:07 — Arrogance vs Confidence 01:02:42 — LQ: What other events do you want to win? 01:05:26 — Callum's love affair with Modern 01:10:45 — LQ: What will you do with the Mox Emerald Painting? 01:12:57 — Legacy decks that excite us & do well right now 01:35:16 — ANT's slow resurgence & how it compares to TES 01:39:00 — Witherbloom Command, Pernicious Deed & other pipedreams Eternal Weekend Vintage - Mox Emerald Top16 Decklists Alex McKingley's Twitter TheEpicStorm.com - Find Alex' articles & videos Legacy Shwocase Challenge, December 6th - Top32 Decklists NRG Series Legacy, December 11th Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Martin just finished runner-up in the biggest of last weekend's Legacy events, nearly taking home the Sylvan Library painting. Martin tells us all you ever wanted to know about Doomsday, and why sometimes you don't even need Thassa's Oracle to win. In the second half of the cast, we go over the top finishers of all three events - and discover maybe the WILDEST deckbuilding principle we ever encountered in a (successful) deck - definitely don't miss the madness that is the 67 main, 12 sideboard card deck that made Top16 in of of these events! 00:01:23 — Callum won a war & Julian didn't 00:07:13 — Martin 'nevilshute' Nielsen, runner-up of EW Sylvan Library 00:16:13 — LQ: What's your favourite Doomsday brew? 00:29:38 — "Turn2 with D&T is more complex than with Doomsday" 00:32:03 — Listener Question Galore 00:59:28 — Eternal Weekend: Wasteland Results 01:16:18 — The CRAZIEST deckbuilding principle you've ever seen 01:50:53 — Eternal Weekend: Sylvan Library Results 02:00:33 — "So I put Doomsday into my Doomsday Pile" - Martin's Tournament Report The History of Legacy Doomsday - Interview with Emidln Eternal Weekend: Wasteland Top16 Eternal Weekend: Bayou Top16 Eternal Weekend: Sylvan Library Top16 Martin 'nevilshute' Nielsen's Twitter Martin 'nevilshute' Nielsen YouTube Channel Daniel Goetschel's UR Delver Guide Matchup Matrix of Eternal Weekend Archetype Win% Eternal Weekend Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

"I see a red card and I want it painted blue. I could not foresee this thing happening to you." - Mick "Painter's Servant" Jagger (1966) Callum & Julian welcome Legacy Methuselah Marius Hausmann back onto the cast to discuss a wide range of topics, starting out each one's performances in our fast-growing local Legacy events. Callum had a great run with UW Yorion Bomberman, Marius split the finals with his unique take on Painter, and Julian placed third after almost losing to Food Reanimator. Sparked by a discussion on our Discord, we then look into what people mean when they talk about the "true" Legacy metagame, and why context is so important to that rather controversial concept. Towards the middle of the show, Callum & Marius dive deep onto their different styles of Imperial Painter, while Julian is just excited he doesn't have to sacrifice City of Traitors under Blood Sun. In the second part of the show we take a look at the Top16 results of the 240-players 4Seasons event that went down last weekend in Bologna, Italy. Following a player's DQ while playing for Top8 in that event, the three of us get into a broader debate about splitting etiquette, bribery and community problems arising from it. Julian, while probably taking the harsher stance on it, still makes a point about whether the current way of handling things is still appropriate in a post-WotC-Organized-Play world. 00:07:10 — London Legacy Monthly Event Report 00:17:10 — Aalen Legacy Event Report 00:11:20 — Et Cetera Frising Legacy Event Report 00:29:40 — LQ: What is the “true” Legacy Metagame? 00:37:10 — Events actively giving out nice proxies! 00:46:40 — Imperial Painter: GIGA DEEP DIVE 00:57:20 — Callum’s vs Marius’ Painter Lists 01:24:10 — Decklist Highlights from 4Seasons Bologna 01:47:10 — DQs, Bribery & the deeper philosophy of it Et Cetera Freising, October results Eternal Series #16, Aalen London Legacy Monthly (including Callum's Bomberman list) Marius Hausmann's Painter list Callum's Painter list 4Seasons Facebook group Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

Winning The Showcase! | EP.110

It’s common knowledge among podcasters that while a lot of your time & energy is focussed on producing content, every once in a while you have to renew your “Serious Tournament Player” membership. For Julian, his was up this month so he jumped straight into the Legacy Showcase Challenge and took it down. Easy as that, right? It helps when you have a BIG FLYING DRAGON or three on your side! Join us for this episode in which we not only recap all 11 rounds of the Showcase, but also focus on the exact style on UWr Saga Julian registered in the event. Lord Ozymandias had written one of the best guides of the year for this event, and it proved to be a most valuable asset to have while navigating through a whole bunch of Monkeys, Dragons and Constructs! Bonus: Callum has the most amazing birthday present for Julian! 🙂 00:09:50 — Let’s sell crack at the diving trade fair 00:13:20 — LQ: Who is better, DRS or Ragavan? 00:23:35 — Lord Ozymandias giveth the UWr list! 00:30:30 — R1: Grixis Shadow 00:31:25 — R2+3+4: UWr Saga 00:38:00 — R5: Sneak Show 00:39:30 — R6: Lands – TIMEOUT 00:45:35 — R7: Sneak Show vs JPA93 00:56:30 — R8: Bant Midrange 00:59:55 — QF: UR Delver 01:03:45 — SF: BR Reanimator 01:07:19 — F: UR Delver 01:30:50 — BIG Eldrazi & Landfall Zoo! 01:38:15 — Ragavan STATS Ozymandias UWr and Grixis guides Showcase Challenge Top32 Challenge with Landfall Zoo in 10th place!

New Metagame SLAYERS | EP.109

Legacy is EVOLVING! Ever since Modern Horizon 2 put the formats on its head once again, with Monkeys, Dragons and Constructs running the tables, players have started adapting to this new madness that is our format now. Callum & Julian look into three of the most interesting decks to pop up/back into the format: Marcus Ewaldh almost goes all the way with HIGH TIDE, an ACTUAL AFFINITY deck, and Anuraag fully embraces the degeneracy that is Neo Czech Pile! Oh, and in the end, Yorion Death & Taxes wins again. This is getting spooky, but Callum has a theory about why it just keeps taking down tournaments and why we're all guilty of still not respecting the deck enough. 00:09:52 — Julian's Maverick (mis?)adventures at his local 00:23:00 — New spicy Painter tech 00:27:05 — LQ: How do Ragavan/Saga compare to Oko? 00:32:55 — LQ: What if Companions returned? 00:38:55 — LQ: Should I ignore my horrible Delver MU? 00:48:00 — NEO CZECH PILE EVANGELION 01:01:15 — Blue AFFINITY is back! 01:08:00 — Why it is the perfect moment for HIGH TIDE to return 01:15:00 — Callum puts a HUGE target on Death & Taxes Legacy Super Qualifier Top32 Decklists Legacy Challenge Top32 Decks Jon Finkel vs Bob Maher Worlds 2000 Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!
