Episode notes

Hindsight is a 20/20 with Flying and Indestructible, so it’s time to look back at 2024 and all of the controversies, changes, events, and of course, cards from the last 365 days. From unprecedented bans that shook up the Commander world forever, to design choices that may have shifted the fabric of the game, plus the rise of Universes Beyond, and even a little bit of art theft thrown in for flavor, we’ve got a lot to talk about.

This episode Jimmy, JLK, and Rachel discuss everything that made this last year unique. We cover the highs and the lows, discussing where Magic has been, where it stands now, and of course, what they hope the future holds for the game we all love. It’s gonna be a big one, so let’s jump in!
