Episode 6: Pooping a Premodern with Jerry Mee

Well, glad that's finally over. Brad, Ben, Jay, and Billy finally ran out of things to talk about, so we scraped the bottom of the barrel and asked Nick onto the show. We go over the various things we ruined over the course of the year, the birth of the DxC seasonals, the perverse origins of Hardcast, and our campaign to get Red Elemental Blast banned.our shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrew

Sleeper hit Dan Hall shows up for his first episode! With Billy, we pull Leaving a Legacy host Jerry Mee out of retirement. We chat about Premodern first impressions, building a local scene outside of WotC support, consumer fatigue, and his gramps destroying target artifact or land. It can't be regenerated.our shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrew

Finally! Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Nick Balzano recently won the DxC Fall event, rocking the socks off of 70 other players to win the damn thing with a deck that'll remind you to pack your crypts next time. Brad and Billy join him to talk about the Dredge Meta Effect, some bullshit LDV math that nobody understands, New England hardcore bands, and turn zero-ing PM final boss Rich Shay.Nick's Deck: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=61454&f=PREMour shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrew

(probably) Our final mini update from Pittsburgh, Jay drives the ship while a bunch of us are cuddled up on the no-pull-out couch. Brad gets his dev dreams countered, a bad man steals Billy's figure skating trading cards, and the gang drills darts in a punk bar that Mike found.

Another live(ish) bonus episode from Eternal Weekend. It turns out that recording an episode a day is hard to maintain when you're exhausted from so much winning. Billy commits vampirism for breakfast, Mike finds God in his breakfast burrito, and Jay qualifies for an RC.Publishers note: We acknowledge an error in our use of outdated vocabulary.

Bonus #3: In yet another LIVE FROM EW bonus episode, Brad, Mike, and Billy welcome friend-of-the-crew Brett on for a chat about the Rochester Royals side event. Spoiler: DxC swept 1st through 3rd.

Bonus #2, Nick, Brad, and Billy decide Pittsburgh rules and liken it to what Worcester could (and should) be. A brief jaunt into gameplay doesn't distract from a review of EW.

Our first bonus episode is (almost) live on the way to Eternal Weekend! Hop in the car with Jay, Nick, Brad, and Billy and listen to us struggle to make listenable content without shownotes, a script, compression, or any fucks to give. We chat about Billy's stunning victory at the latest NEPM Monthly, a new semiweekly in New Hampshire, and speculate about what happened to Jay's last inch.

After a good cry from last episode, Hardcast returns to pick Premodern Phil's brain about Survival Roc, but end up learning how to actually assess card choices in toolbox decks. Billy's puny intellect is bested, while Brad has the good sense to soak it all in.Phil's YT: https://www.youtube.com/@PremodernPhilPhil's decklist: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=61406&d=662015&f=PREMOur garbage: https://linktr.ee/duresscrew

Episode 3 features real-life good guy Tom Hagen aka Hero. You might know him as Susan Van Camp's agent, but we know him as a fucking boss. Join Tony and Brad for a riveting tale of how he came upon a time capsule from early MTG history.www.facebook.com/[email protected]
