Marvel Super Brews: Loki, The Vision, Slumbering Trudge & More

Season 26, Episode 14: Brewer's Guide to Star Trek David has penned an absolute novel about The Naked Time, postulating all manner of bizarre combos to unlock the effect. Dan's theory ("just play Nurturing Pixie") will be put to the test at Worlds this weekend. Could this card set a record for quickest progression from "Oh, that's cool!" to "I'd like a ban now, I'm not having any fun"? Meanwhile, Hit It! has our intrepid brewers back on the Esper Origins train, not just in Standard but also Pioneer. We're taking it to infinity and beyond (is that right?) in our Star Trek set review. Make it so! **** Like our content? Support us on Patreon and join our Discord community!

Season 26, Episode 13: Brew Session (Darklight Phoenix, Ajani Unrelenting, Carnivorous Cultivator, Simulacrum Shaper, Elven Passage, Gandalf, Goblins' Bane) Dan threw himself back into Standard for Spotlight Hartford, working through dozens of outlandish brews. Can Singularity Rupture finally get Darklight Phoenix over the hump? Will Rewrite Regrets unlock Ajani Unrelenting? Any why does Elven Passage always feel so good? David chips in a few brews of his own in both Standard and Pioneer, and we take a look at some of the spiciest lists coming out of the Faithless Brewing community.   Like our content?

Season 26, Episode 12: Brewer's Guide to Reality Fracture in Standard, Pioneer, and Modern (Part 2 of 2) The hits keep coming in Reality Fracture. In the second installment of our 4+ hour Set Review, David and Dan look at Darklight Phoenix, Kasmina Twin combo, and a parade of nasty planeswalkers. Which Chandra will reign supreme? What is the biggest Jace? Which random uncommon is a build-around sleeper? David also sneaks in a few Pioneer brews he's been toying with, featuring Beorn the Fierce, the Sackville-Bagginses, and a warp-heavy take on Neoform. Check out our extended show notes (available via Patreon) for a written review of every card that matters, including the many that didn't make it on air. Happy brewing! *** Like our content?

Season 26, Episode 11: Brewer's Guide to Reality Fracture in Standard, Pioneer, and Modern Listeners of Faithless Brewing will be no stranger to the idea that looting is better than drawing. Zone advantage is king. The graveyard is pure profit, while cards drawn simply languish in hand until you are forced to *shudder* spend mana to cast them. No sir, no thank you. Surveilling is also better than drawing, in all the ways that matter. Namely, it's much cheaper, and efficiency is king. Cavedan has always seen this truth plainly, while David still clings to his aniquated notion that cards should move from library to hand. Reality Fracture and the Empower Jace mechanic will let us settle this debate once and for all. Would you rather draw a card once, or surveil multiple times? To Cavedan, the choice is clear as day. It's the same reason why Starbreach Whale is a multi-format all star while Quantum Riddler is a bulk common. That's just basic brewing common sense.  There's plenty more to hash out in part 1 of our Reality Fracture Set Review. Let's dig in! **** Like our content?
