Our first tour in The Brothers' War! We chat about the Modern and Pioneer potential for Teferi, Temporal Pilgrim, Phyrexian Fleshgorger, Urza's Command, Skitterbeam Battalion, and more. We also dip our toe in the latest version of 4C Control featuring Keruga, the Macrosage.

Show Notes
It's that time of year again — we're fitting one more set into 2022, so it's time for us to talk about early impressions of the first batch of cards from The Brothers' War. It's a set dripping with nostalgia from here to 1994. Tune in to hear us talk about Teferi, Urzas, Wurms, and more! Before we do that we make a quick checkin on Stan's RCQ preparations on 4c... Kaheera? Karuga? Jegantha?
