Two thirds of the guys react to the New Capenna preview stream. Travis has other responsibilities so he gets the day off. Zack talks about full art basic land fatigue and the pros of seeded prerelease packs. JT shows his boomer magic player roots and talks about the cons of seeded prerelease packs.

The Guys talk commander. Travis relives an oopsie from his younger days when formats were either type 1 or type 2. JT waxes philosophical about zen gardening techniques for good playgroup cultivation. Zack talks about Hidetsugu Neon Grey, because he's colorblind, but also because that card is bonkers expensive.  P. S. Listen to the end for the exact moment Travis found out his wife was going into labor. Congratulations to all three, mom, dad, and our newest listener - Asher Liam!

As a special treat, tonight we chat with Mike (AKA DamonXWind on Twitch) about his deep run at the modern spectacular hosted by Double Look Games (and Taitan Games) on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. We do a full deck tech and tournament report while generally causing chaos over his Modern Esper Grief Ephemerate Reanimator deck. Yeah we know it's a mouthful, but it's a cool deck! Spoiler - Mike plays against local pro Brian Coval at one point. Listen to find out how it went!

The guys react to the February secret lair drop featuring Street Fighter. JT covers his favorite modern decks from AspiringSpike's record setting trophy race as well as some cool lists featuring new cards from Kamigawa Neon Dynasty. Zack discusses the joys and woes of Grand Prix... erm, uh... MagicFests? No that's not right either. Zack talks about SCG Philly. And finally, Travis gets excited about forming a janky megazord using Mechtitan Core.
