It's time for new Magic cards, and New Capenna is kicking off with some serious upgrades for our future manabases.

Ostensibly, this is an episode of a Magic: the Gathering podcast focused on Standard. There will be talk about good cards and good decks. There will also be talk about general malaise, the end of a content creation era, and what the future holds for the Arena Decklists crew. Take the good with the bad, and have a listen.

Magic Online had the first Standard tournaments with Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty and the results are in! Did Kamigawa finally fix Standard or should we all go play Pioneer instead?

Magic's newest set has arrived, and the boys are overflowing with praise for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. One card type in particular is dominating a stacked Top 10, but rest assured this episode has a little something for every type of mage. Even if you just want to yell at them for blowing their number one pick, there's a good chance you will get your wish!

Magic’s newest set marches closer and despite their best efforts to be curmudgeons, Gerry and Bryan are getting hyped. Oddly, the guys seem to think this return to Kamigawa has a chance to make as much of a splash in older formats as it does in Standard. What cards have caught their eyes? Listen and find out!
