Eternal Durdles

Nate is leaving the podcast after five years. Zac and Phil ask him anything and everything about Magic. [A message from Nate: Thank you for listening. I appreciate all of you who took the time to check in with us. I'm not quitting Legacy or Magic just stepping down from the cast. Onward.] This does mean we didn't do Part 2 of the Strixhaven review yet. Nate's Twitter: @n_r_g

Hell yes it's set review time. We discuss whimsy for a while and debate how combo decks work. We actually ran out of time so we'll circle back to the cards you're mad we missed next time. Here's what we got so far (time stamps approximate!): 22 Magma Opus 24 Body Of Research 25 Harness Infinity 26 Blot out the Sky 28 Silverquill Silencer 32 Blex, Vexing Pest / Search for Blex 35 Double Major 37 Flamescroll Celebrant / Revel in Silence 38 Silverquill Command 41 Valentine, Dean of the Vein 44 Venerable Warsinger 45 Decisive Denial 47 Vanishing Verse 49 Rushed Rebirth 51 Culling Ritual 52 Reduce to Memory 54 Killian, Ink Duelist 55 Sedgmoor Witch 58 Zimone, Quandrix Prodigy 1:02 Tend the Pests 1:04 Witherbloom Apprentice 1:10 Dina, Soul Steeper 1:12 The Biblioplex

This Week in Legacy writer Joe Dyer joins Phil and Nate to talk about havin' kids, gettin' vaccinated, and Legacy. (Strategies and Tactics for Nic Fit/Explorer Rock starts about half an hour before the end of the episode.)

Phil, Zac and Nate discuss the many miniature eras of eternal Magic during the COVID-19 year. Nate and Phil have a spirited discussion about green one-drops.

We pontificate on potential Universes Beyond that could impact Legacy down the road, now that it's happening. Also discuss the fun things we're trying in the new Legacy and old-border reprints. Note: Patreon supporters can watch this podcast on video! It's a new perk we're adding, check out the Patreon to find out more.

We live-streamed our celebration of the death of Oko, Thief of Crowns; Dreadhorde Arcanist; and Arcum's Astrolabe. Still works as audio only though. A new day for Legacy.

gdi we finally recorded and they're just gonna fix the format monday.  oh well. we talk about valki. why can you do this? also new song!

We chat with Stu Ziarnik, erstwhile leader of Austin's Romancing the Stones tournaments, on building and maintaining eternal Magic communities and adapting to the new webcam-based world. RTS plays mostly Vintage, with some Old School and Middle School mixed in. Check out the site: stonesmtg.com; and twitter.com/StonesVintage

Talkin' Magic with longtime friend of the cast Eric Vergo, the only person to top-8 both Legacy and Vintage champs in paper in the same year! We talk about Eric's Soul Sisters deck, his newfound love of brewing, what's going wrong in development, how to improve coverage, and much more. Happy new year everyone!
