This week on Skullcraic is our last! We've got a bit of Magic news, mainly cancellations of events due to the ongoing global crisis! Wizards have also announced an exorbitant Secret Lair comprised of enemy fetchlands! In lighter news, we go wildly off-topic for the remainder of the show and tell you just what we really think of everything from WotC, to Pro Players, to Inked Gaming! Also featuring a bumper edition of Extra Turns, but don't forget to stay tuned after the credits for our last ever listener email!

This week on Skullcraic we've got a ton of bans to discuss as well as a report from a local WPNQ! We've also got a special announcement at the end of the episode, so stay tuned for that!

This week we've got an announcement of a banlist announcement, the Command Zone gets difficulty levels, and Historic Anthology II has been announced! And we've got a short Standard tournament report from a Win-A-Box tournament this past weekend.

This week we're discussing the announcement of a new booster product, the announcement of Players' Tour Series 2 formats, and the evolution of Magic tournaments at DreamHack Anaheim! We've also got a report from a local WPNQ preliminary from David.

This week we're down one host but that won't stop us as we analyse the decks and the plays of the World Championship and the goatiest GOAT that ever was! We also take a look at the newest batch of Challenger decks announced by WotC during the Worlds stream.

In this episode of Skullcraic we dig into Pioneer with yet more results and data from Players' Tour Americas in Phoenix! Speaking of data, Frank Karsten isn't allowed to analyse all that sweet, sweet Grand Prix matchup data anymore. We've also got a tournament report from the latest round of WPNQ prelims in Dublin from a victorious Ciaran.

This week we're back from the very first Pioneer GP/PT, and boy are our arms tired! (from holding cards) We've got a discussion of how the weekend went for each of us as well as our opinions on the format at large based on the multiple top 8s that happened in Brussels and Nagoya. Stay tuned after the outro for a special guest appearance by Player'sTour cash prize winner Dave 'DaveSea' Murphy and friend of the show Eamonn!

This week... Alan's going to the Player's Tour! Huge congratulations to Al, and we get to reap the benefits as he breaks down the sealed pool that brought him to victory in a limited WPNQ. We've also got a discussion of Pioneer and what we're eyeing up for the very first Pioneer Grand Prix in Brussels this weekend! We also have a very very brief mention of some interesting hints about how Wizards views the story fiasco from Theros: Beyond Death.

This week we're chewing over a Reddit AMA on the topic of Organized Play, and we've got our first impressions of the Theros: Beyond Death limited format. We dive into our current thoughts on Pioneer and what we're considering playing for GP Brussels.

This week we've got the full set preview of Theros: Beyond Death, and we've got a whole host of bans in Modern! Alan played some WPNQ qualifiers and simply planeswalked into top 8! Oli is a local judge in Ireland who has fallen on some tough times. If you know Oli, you know he lives to help and support people playing Magic. He's a great ambassador for the game and it's nice to have an opportunity to repay that good will. If you'd like to help, you can check out his GoFundMe page.
