Weekend Magic: 2/6-2/8 (PT Fate Reforged Edition)
Hey, guys, I’ve got some sweet Modern action to cover this week based on the results that have come in from Pro Tour Fate Reforged.

Episode 74 – Everything is Zen
Pro Tour Fate Reforged just happened…that’s a lot of Siege Rhinos. We talk the Pro Tour, our weeks, and the announcement of the new core set, Magic Origins.

Conjured Currency #49: Rent-a-Car(d)
Throughout the first few weeks of a set’s release, there is one single question that every single well-known financier is asked to no end. While the exact words might vary each time, and the specific card in question will differ, there’s few general models to this tricky question: There are common pieces of information in...

This week, the Imps make their triumphant return to BSB by taking the time to see what happened over at SCG DC.
