The prerelease is over, and some prices are starting to go a little bit nuts. Should we be panicking? Is it too late to buy into certain cards or are they going to go down before too long? What do we make of this crazy twilight time between the prerelease and the Pro Tour? The…

It’s time for the Khans of Tarkir set review, and while the cast is short a man, it’s long on enthusiasm. Despite the certainty that most of the rares will end up bulk and Khans will be the most-opened set in Magic‘s history, the gang can’t seem to agree on which cards will be bulk….

Joined by Spike Feed‘s Dustin Gore, the gang delves into some unfamiliar territory: trading for and selling foreign cards. The cast goes off the rails with talk of pay-by-the-hour bars in Japan, the impact of Hardened Scales on Standard, and the ethics of cross-continent trading, and you wouldn’t have it any other way. What is…

What happens when you mix a guy named Alt with Magic‘s best card alterist? It’s probably nothing significant; that’s a pretty tenuous connection. Still, when you bring Magic‘s most beloved alteration artist onto Magic‘s most beloved podcast, they’re bound to get into some shenanigans. Who has his Pick of the Week swiped? Who gets a…

It was a somewhat light week for news, but the gang goes deep on some Finance 101 to compensate. Even finance veterans will benefit from the veritable knowledge-bombing campaign as the gang talks about the condition of cards as well as whether to have cards professionally graded.
