247: Too Many (?) Tangents
On this episode, Maria and Meghan are back (and better?) than ever after a weekend covering the U.S. Nationals tournament in Richmond, Virginia! Enjoy their sleep-deprived states as they walk you through what’s new with Standard (Maria loves those vamps!), how the Ixalan draft format is evolving (Meghan loves those treasures!), and what to expect when the world’s best meet at the World Magic Cup this winter. OH! Did we fail to mention that this show goes off the rails in a pretty major way? Well, it does. I sure hope you like long, involved discussions about barely relevant tv shows and movies because…let’s just say, you’re gonna get it. To anyone who worked on either “Early Edition” or “I Origins”, we apologize in advance.

246: Give Us Cards
On this episode, Maria and Meghan are hot off the plane home from the World Championship and have lots of stories to share from Magic’s biggest tournament OF ALL TIME! You’ll hear about their favorite matches, working behind-the-scenes and WHO is getting the most ready to buy Marshall some socks. PLUS: A look ahead to U.S. Nationals this weekend (what spicy Standard brews could we see?!), Maria and Meghan share their new MOST FAVORITE Twitter account, and it’s a game of Pick, Lick, or Flick when Flavor Text Theatre hits the stage!

245: #SockOff2017
On this episode, Maria and Meghan welcome very esteemed guests Marshall Sutcliffe (of Limited Resources fame) and Tim Willoughby (of the Magic Pro Tour) to the episode! Sitting on hotel room beds in Boston awaiting the upcoming World Championship, our fearsome foursome discuss Ixalan limited and their favorite moments from GP Providence (including that GREAT Osyp bluff), predict who will take home the title of World Champion (socks are on the line!!) and Marshall picks a devious date in The Dating Game. This is a crazy fun episode that is simply not to be missed!

243: Ixalonging for New Rules!

242: Enter the Arena
On this episode, Maria and Meghan give their first impressions of that new digital Magic hotness: Arena. What do they think of the new platform? What could be improved? What rocks their socks off? ALSO: Meghan Top 8’s *another* PPTQ (she’s got those things on lock) with her Modern Promise Titan deck, Iconic Masters looks like a treat-and-a-half to draft, and epic Ixalan preview cards keep on comin’! SPECIAL BONUS: Find out what mascots Maria and Meghan had in college. FUN FACTS! Editor’s Note: We had some technical issues in this week’s episode (and we still don’t know WHY they happened) so a bit of Meghan’s Modern PPTQ talk is cut off at the beginning. Don’t fret! We had her record a new intro for the piece. Unfortunately, this means no video of this week’s episode as well. We’ll be back in full force next week!

241: You Got Gravy on My Potatoes!
On this episode, Maria and Meghan say “ahoy!” to Ixalan! They hit the high seas with preview cards galore, as they dish on the shiny new mechanics of the set. Just how good will Explore be? And how do we all feel that Raid is back? PLUS: a frank discussion on language in gaming (keep it clean, kids!), what leaking cards means for the community (hint: not good things), and Flavor Text Theatre that will leave you wishing these two had a movie production budget.

MtA Episode 240: New Pros on the Block
On this episode, Maria and Meghan invite their playgroup to the show. Why? Because THREE of them have just qualified for the Pro Tour!! (That’s right, they hang with pretty good Magic players, y’all). Does it feel like qualifying for the Pro Tour is impossible? Listen in as Matt, Greg, and Sam talk about their roads to qualification and how a dream that once felt like it was a million miles away came true. Learn what you can do to increase your chances of qualifying – and hear lots of funny stories about what happened along the way. PLUS: the crew talks spicy new Ixalan preview cards!

239: The Command Zone
On this episode, Maria and Meghan record the show from a SUPER SECRET LOCATION! Okay, Okay. It’s not that secret at all. It’s the Command Zone headquarters! Our intrepid hosts are joined by Commander-in-Chiefs Jimmy Wong and Josh Lee Kwai to chat about Commander 2017, building with Cat-manders, and all sorts of randomness. WARNING: this show goes off the rails (in the best way possible). PLUS: Grand Prix Denver recap, Ixalan Predixalans, and…if you have an Alexa…you may want to unplug her. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
