Never-ending preview season kicks off again, and after a peak in at the Magic World Championships, it's time to look at new cards from The Brothers' War.

Standard has a new look and… oh wait, it’s still Jund dominating events. But Jund’s performance in the first week post-bans only tells part of the story. Jund lists continue to evolve and cards like The Kami War and Plaza of Heroes are starting to flex their muscles. Find out where the boys see Standard heading in the coming weeks! https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings/standard-challenge-2022-10-16 https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/mtgo-standings/standard-challenge-2022-10-17 Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi Timestamps: 0:40 - Legacy tournament 16:14 - Standard Arena PTQ 20:54 - Standard MTGO challenges 1:02:03 - Bryan's cat situation arenadecklists.gg patreon.com/arenadecklists twitch.tv/arenadecklists youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/bryango

Strap in. The boys have opinions. $250 dollar booster packs stuffed with cards you can't play anywhere, one of the worst designs in Magic history, the foretold Post Malone Secret Lair, and, of course, Transformers... It's been a heck of a week. And it's got one of the hosts contemplating a move they've never considered before. Did we just reach Magic's tipping point? Also, how about another preview season!?

Bryan couldn’t make it this week, so Gerry recruited Pioneer specialist Todd Anderson to hang out, catch up, and get his perspective on Pioneer and which decks are actually good.

Standard season marches on and the first seeds of innovation have been planted. Gruul Aggro, Bant, and Izzet Control have begun to make appearances, but there's even wackier stuff going on if you're willing to dig a little deeper. Plus, you know the boys love them some discourse--what's their take on Unfinity preview season?

The boys are doing their best to diversify. Obviously there are post-Dominaria check-ins on Standard, Modern, and Pioneer. But would you believe the boys find the time to talk Limited and gasp Legacy this week!!?? Find out what's got the guys waxing on every format in Magic, and why Scarwood hag is way closer to a masterpiece than a disaster. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/event-coverage/video-draft-tech-mill-yourself-gerry-thompson-2011-11-18 Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi Timestamps: Legacy - 1:20 Black Midrange in Standard - 19:10 Pioneer - 34:51 Design question for Bryan - 39:46 Throwing shade at Andrew Brown - 52:26 Modern - 1:01:04 arenadecklists.gg patreon.com/arenadecklists twitch.tv/arenadecklists youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/bryango

Dominaria United is a difficult set to evaluate, but Gerry and Bryan are going to try. With several cards on the Top 10 list that are either busted or unplayable, it's an episode that's... interesting.
