Today we review every Force of Will art. Therese Nielsen sets an almost unbeatable standard with her Alliances original; can any other piece hope to match it? Join us as we dive deep into the art, weird Balduvians, and the true height of Kefnet in this tangent-laden edition of Clock Spinning.

031: Goyfs! Lhurgoyf, Tarmogoyf, and their many offspring
Season 2 · Episode 31
Thursday, June 6, 2024 • Duration 02:18:10
Lhurgoyfs are a tribe totally unique to Magic, and they have a long and winding history. We’ll begin our journey in the depths of Magic’s Ice Age, and then take you on a weird Odyssey with a cycle of surprisingly competitive bad cards. Then of course we have Tarmo-daddy himself, and his rash of offspring right up through the present day.
030: John Avon basics: The land master's most masterful masterpieces
Season 2 · Episode 30
Wednesday, September 6, 2023 • Duration 39:11
John Avon is Magic’s Master of Mana, Baron of Basics, and Lord of Lands. He’s illustrated fully 7% of all basic land arts ever printed, and among them are many of the most iconic basics of all time. We share our pick for #1 Avon basic land art for each type, and talk about what makes Avon’s art so effective.
Today on Clock Spinning, we look at the art for Birds of Paradise through the ages. From our start in Alpha, through some 2000s message board drama, and some surprisingly adorable Secret Lair drops, the history of BoP art is rich, varied, and full of genuine bangers.

028: Bananas!, reviewed
Season 2 · Episode 28
Friday, July 28, 2023 • Duration 01:24:11
Clock Spinning is going bananas this week by talking about--you guessed it--bananas! In this episode we rate, review, and ban-analyze every card in Magic that has bananas in the art, flavor text, and even oracle text. We had an ape-solute blast putting this one together, and we hope you enjoy it too!
We’re back to Kamigawa for Betrayers green. And sure, some of the usual Champions themes are here—snakes, soulshift, heartbreakingly poor rates. But we’ve got some surprises in store: An art conspiracy theory, a surprising amount of lifegain, and some hidden EDH roleplayers.
Today we take the Clock Spinning format to its logical conclusion and bring you nearly 30 minutes on one beautiful, blue, unblockable beast. Join us as we dissect every aspect of one of Connor’s childhood pet cards.
What’s the best Lightning Bolt art? And why is this such a strangely hard piece to truly nail? Join us as we review every art, from the Alpha and M10 GOATs through more Secret Lair Drops than seems reasonable.
On today’s action-packed, ogre-packed, instacut-packed episode we review all 30 Red cards of Betrayers of Kamigawa. Tucked away amidst the akki and do-nothing auras you’ll also find a card banned in Modern for over a decade, and one of the most popular Commander cards in the whole block.
Today, we survey the surprisingly varied artistic history of Dark Ritual. After a banging start in Alpha, we’ll go from clownish evil to a Frank Frazetta masterclass.
