Eternal Durdles

In this episode, the hosts gather opinions from various players and content creators in the Legacy format about what cards they would like to see banned and what they think will actually be banned. The consensus is that Grief is the most likely card to be banned, with some also mentioning Psychic Frog and Orcish Bowmasters. Some players also express their desire for unbans. The conversation revolves around the potential bans in Legacy Magic: The Gathering. The main focus is on the cards Grief and Psychic Frog, with some discussion about other cards like Orcish Bowmasters and Up the Beanstalk. The participants express their opinions on what should be banned and what they think Wizards of the Coast (WotC) will actually do. There is a general consensus that Grief should be banned due to its obnoxious play patterns, but opinions differ on whether Psychic Frog should also be banned. Some participants believe that WotC will only ban Grief, while others think they might ban both Grief and Psychic Frog. There is also some discussion about potential unbans, with suggestions for cards like Mind Twist and Mana Drain. JOIN US ON DISCORD: https://discord.gg/hrC7PxQZTE Ad-free Listening on SPOTIFY!
