Jonathan and Val tell us about some cards they like in Commander Legends 2: Baldur’s Gate.

New Cappena, Pauper, Commander.

Joe, Jonathan, and Val go to a local pauper event at Fantasy Games. They tell Derric all about their expierence.

Valentine mans the news desk, giving us all some updates on upcoming sets. Including the much anticipated Dominaria United. Jonathan's new commander deck hopped it's way into play. Derric opened some "vintage" cards for a new commander deck. Joe has a bunch of new Legacy decks, so we had to try those out. We started playing out our pauper bracket, wish us luck, it's a lot of magic to play out.

Jonathan and Val are absent this week, so Joe and Derric cover a bunch of topics. Legacy, check. Pauper, check. Proxies, check. Pioneer and Explorer, check. New Capenna, check. Tell us what cards you think will be all-stars from New Capenna. Derric realized AFTER recording that Pioneer is not exactly the format/sets he thought. Prior to Pioneer was a community created format called Frontier, that was in fact Khans of Tarkir forward. Pioneer is Return to Ravnica forward (Sounds like the format for Scotty.) 

We celebrate a year of being a podcast.

This week Jonathan talks about new cards he's received. Val is out sick. Joe gives us a quick commander tip. Then we talk about our top 5 keywords.

The cast have a discussion about what they've been doing. Derric and Joe talk about the trip to visit Cantrip Cartel they took. Jake sent something back for Val. We all saw the Batman, which MTG cards do we think best reflect The Caped Crusader and his tool belt.

Joe and Derric talk about cards

We open our prerelease kits, a little late, but all together. One of us opens money. One of us opens a solid artifact deck. Some of us just open packs and have fun. Oh, we have a special guest also.
