Have you ever wondered if you were too fast? If you were too furious? Aetherdrift will speed racer you into another plane of existence! The Dungeon Bros along with our good friend  @TypicalGeminiMTG  discuss the set mechanics and favorite cards released in Aetherdrift!

Commander Players! We get our first in depth look at the Commander Bracket matchmaking system.  Gavin Verhey seems to think that this will improve the big problem of... what exactly?  More interestingly, this comes alongside the "Game Changer" list.  A list of 40 cards that the Commander Format Panel has identified as cards of particularly high power (that could possibly catch a ban???)

We also briefly discuss the announced Live Action Magic the Gathering Film and TV series!  Maybe it won't be cancelled this time.

The Bros bring back the Bro from another... Mo?  @TypicalGeminiMTG  to talk about all the announcements at the recent Magic-Con Las Vegas!

Foundations announcements, rules changes, universes beyond being legal everywhere, the slate of 2025 sets, and many many dumb jokes and bits abound!

Stay tuned for the Foundations set review for a deep dive into the cards!

Today we talk about whether cereal is soup, what dominate spell you have to use to effect a furry, and the new liveplay D&D show that's going on.... Television?! On G4?! Didn't that die years ago?

In our inaugural episode of the Dungeon Bros Podcast we talk about D&D's newest source book, Fizban's Treasury of Dragons! But not after discussing our new cat, and where hotdog's belong on a menu.

This is our inaugural Podcast!  We are Connor and Sam, two roommates who love Dungeons and Dragons.  We also love talking to each other, and strangers on the internet about D&D!

This is just a warmup and introduction! Stay tuned to your podcast feeds, or our YouTube channel for a new podcast every other week! 

The Marvel x MtG leaks we talked about a couple weeks ago were real! We dive into the full slate of Marvel Secret Lairs that will be dropping very soon, we discuss the implications of a Spider Man Magic the Gathering set separate from the rest of Marvel.

We also dip our toes into some early previews for the 2024 Dungeon Masters Guide, a hilariously poorly written, clearly AI generated, article from Gizmodo; and credible reports that Wizards of the Coast has a clause in the contract for soon to be members of the Commander Advisory Panel that says they cannot speak negatively about Wizards of the Coast publicly... IN PERPETUITY???

The Bro's sit down with the illustrious Wyatt AKA  @TypicalGeminiMTG  to talk about the spookiest Magic the Gathering set, Duskmourn House of Horrors! How good is this set compared to the other best sets of the year, what are the core mechanics, and some of our choice cards from the set!

So have a tumultuous week for Magic the Gathering, the Commander Rules Committee has given over control of the commander format to the design team of Wizards of the Coast! This of course is a massive change to how the format is run, but is the community concern reasonable, or are they as usual overblowing the negative impact of this change?

We also get a look into the Competitive Commander Collective, also known as the second attempt at a cEDH rules committee. The D&D 5e 2024 Dungeon Masters Guide is being previewed, and PETA makes D&D subclasses now???

We may have just gotten the biggest commander banlist update we've ever seen. Mana Crypt, Jeweled Lotus, Dockside Extortionist, and Nadu, Winged Wisdom all caught the Commander Rules Committee ban hammer. Dockside and Nadu were somewhat expected. Mana Crypt and Jeweled Lotus on the other hand were a shock.

Many are now very upset with the massive loss in value of their collections, many decks in cEDH are now simply no longer viable without access to this form of fast mana, and nearly everyone is upset with the commitee's very poor communication and are asking for change in how they go about discussing bans.

We also dive into the collection of Secret Lairs that have been recently announced, and Daggerheart going into pre-orders!

The cEDH community in an attempt to self regulate their format brought together several major tournament players in the format to put forth a cEDH specific set of tournament rules/bans. This was met with widespread backlash both from the idea of cEDH needing a rules committee, but moreso from the fact the committee was only white men. And due to Twitter being a cesspool of garbage, the would be Rules Committee was disbanded within two weeks. Does cEDH even need a Rules Committee? Were the issues levied at them fair? The Bros discuss.

We also talk about Duskmourn House of Horrors previews, Greg Tito leaving D&D's community team, and yet another D&D controversy! This time D&D can't have sushi or tacos apparently?

In a surprise to literally nobody, we find ourselves having to discuss a misinformed outrage, courtesy of an article on Wargamer! D&D Beyond is updating their content to reflect the new changes to the 2024 revision of the game. Despite the fact they are not, and never were, going to deleted the 2014 content, the people have been led to believe they were!

Magic the Gatherings yearly "State of Design" is in and much is what we expected. "Bonus Sheets good" "Detective mysteries on Ravnica bad", but we did learn something interesting! Universed Beyond Lord of the Rings cards are legally able to be reprinted?!?! Where is our One Ring?!

In the Post-GenCon world we found ourselves with a copy of the 2024 revision to 5th editions Players Handbook! (Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast) In a months time it will be on shelves for you to enjoy, but what about the other 2024 D&D products? The DMG? The Monster Manual? Project Sigil????

To offset the fortune of the PHB, we were not the lucky few who were hand delivered packs of Mystery Booster 2 EARLY at GenCon from Gavin Verhey himself, BUT we have lots of new information about Mystery Booster 2 and how it is SO COOL! The Downside: You're unlikely to every play with them...

Lastly, the Dungeon Bros are leaving the Dungeon Home and Parting ways! Fear not, the show will go on, but remotely. This is the last in person Dual's and Mana Dorks!

After much uncertainty, Hasbro has found a new president and leader for Wizards of the Coast! John Hight, formerly of Blizzard Entertainment, has worked on video games and played table top rpg's and card games! Isn't that novel... Will he do better than their previous failures at leadership??

Bloomburrow is OUT and has brought with it some rule changes that material effect previously printed cards, and after much community outcry, many will be errata'd to have their original functionality maintained!

Plus it's Secret Lair time with Monty Python and the Holy Grail!!!

Check out  @TypicalGeminiMTG  out on YouTube for his amazing deck techs that are ACTUALLY budget (like $20 or less!)

Bloomburrow's full release is out NOW and it is shaping up to be the best set of the year! We go over all the set specific mechanics, point out some cards and cycles of cards that are worth noting, and get wildly off topic from time to time... don't worry about it!

Aetherdrift spoilers are in full swing and we go over some of the cards we've seen so far, and discuss the two (yes, only two) commander decks! We also started recording mere hours after the newest Unearthed Arcana playtest is posted to D&D Beyond! We take a preliminary look at the 8 Forgotten Realms themed subclasses we got.

After a week where there was so much information that we couldn't properly dive into it all, we are gifted with a calm week, giving the Bros some time to dig into their favorite hobbies!

D&D's 2024 revision has shown us the new designs for the monster stat blocks as well as the new character sheets! Are they better than what we had or just change for changes sake?

We are now in the thick of Bloomburrow spoiler season as well! (not that we've just had a high power set release, a universes beyond set release, and previews for sets that are coming out AFTER Bloomburrow, but I digress) We go over some of the new set mechanics, some returning mechanics, a powerful cycle of sorceries, and some.... interesting commanders....

Check out The Proxy Forge! https://www.theproxyforge.com?sca_ref=5617924.rZxlhBjvwn Thank you for sponsoring this episode of the podcast!

The universe loves to give us barely anything to talk about for weeks on end, only to infodump a MASSIVE amount of stuff on us all at once!

The CRIT Awards is no longer going to be at GenCon after threats of violence; D&D has been previewing all of the classes and some feats, spells, and new mechanics; and out of Magic Con we have new Previews for Bloomburrow, Duskmourn House of Horror's and a new Standard legal (for at least 5 years!) set in Magic the Gathering Foundations!

We have our friend Typical Gemini on to talk about Modern Horizons 3, the state of Magic the Gathering, and just getting into our love of the game! You'll probably see more of him in the future as other mtg sets begin to release!

Dungeon's & Dragons 2024 Revision may be the update that D&D has needed. They are posting videos daily discussing all the major updates to the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide, and Monster Manual! We take the time to go over this first wave of announcements and get hyped for the newest version of the worlds greatest RPG!

Assassin's Creed is also already in spoiler season for Magic the Gathering (didn't we just get Modern Horizons 3???). Sam is the resident AC fan in this dungeon, so what is the vibe check on these spoilers from the fan and the outsider?

Also, Hatsune Miku's next Secret lair, the Tolarian Community College's newest kickstarter, and.... D&D Stamps?!?!

Check out the CRIT Awards! https://www.critawards.org/

So we orginally wanted to discuss the Finalists for the CRIT Awards, but in classic Dungeon Bros fashion... It devolves into chaotic nonsense that is hardly related to the CRIT Awards at all. Ivy is a joy and be sure to get your votes in once the finalists are announced!

Thank You Proxy Forge for sponsoring this episode! 

Wizards of the Coast just can't help themselves can they? There is an UPROAR because of a Job listing for a "Principal A.I. Engineer" for their video game division. Is it that big a deal or are people just over reacting (yet again)?

We also discuss the D&D TV series being dropped by Paramount+ and WotC shopping it to other production and streaming companies. Former Wizards President Cynthia Williams new job, and our final thoughts for Modern Horizons 3 before the set is officially released!

The Eldrazi are inside the PC I SWEAR! Despite being plagued by failed audio recordings and frozen video we nonetheless strive forward because there were a LOT of reveals for Modern Horizon's 3 with the world reveal of their Debut video. We get to see the commander deck commanders and backup commanders, new cycles of cards, powerful reprints, and so so much more.

Also, D&D is returning to Greyhawk as the official campaign setting for One D&D's Dungeon Masters Guide; a new Magic banlist targeting Unfinity and.... Pauper?!, plus we take questions from the Patreon audience to discuss our thoughts on banning cards in Magic's commander format, as well as other properties we would like to see get Magic the Gathering releases!

As with all news cycles the good must come with the bad... One D&D Players Handbook Fireside chat in this case being the good, with the Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast 2023 & Q1 2024 earnings report being the Bad. Financials aren't looking too hot for Hasbro, despite WotC keeping the ship afloat.

We also discuss Modern Horizons 3 Leaks, MTG Pride events, an MTG Manga, the new most expensive Magic card ever sold, and a new Hatsune Miku secret lair?!?!

Wizards of the Coast President Cynthia Williams has filed with the SEC that she is resigning from her post effective THIS WEEK, and interestingly enough, right before the next quarterly earnings are made public... We go over her tenure and time with the company as well as discuss who would be a good replacement. We also have updates to Daggerhearts Beta systems, Larian Studios moving on from Baldur's gate, Modern Horizon's 3 Flip-walker leaks, Cowboy Bebop Promo cards for Standard events, D&D Converse collabs, and answer questions from the audience!

Outlaws of Thunder Junction is upon us and we talk about the set and some cool cards that have been revealed! Also, D&D is partnering with Lego and you can get a FREE adventure written by Chris Perkins to go with it!

In the time since our break, not only did we miss the Artificer Unearthed Arcana, but we also got some very interesting numbers for the sales of 2024's D&D 5e revision. Outselling the original 5e in 4 months, what it took the originals 3 years! Impressive stuff.

We also go over the Innistrad Remastered full set reveal, the D&D Slot Machine licensing deal, and the... interesting basic land Secret Lair arts!

Sam is recovering from a massive loss of his Wisdom (teeth that is), but that isn't gonna stop us from covering all the juicy new information we have for Vecna: Eve of Ruin, Quests from the Infinite Staircase, yet another round of MTG artist plagiarism, and we go over some of the feedback and thoughts from the audience about our first impressions of Daggerheart!

The Dungeon Bros dip there toes into the Daggerheart Beta playtest materials! Critical Role released the Daggerhear Beta materials mere minutes before the recording of the podcast, so we go over the major mechanics and unique features we like, and ones we are skeptical of... We also talk about the MTG banlist update, Altered TCG record breaking kickstarter, and are thrilled that we can now offer the podcast... WITH VIDEO!!!

Magic Con Chicago has come and gone and we have a LOT of new information to go over for this years releases! Fallout Commander Decklists, Outlaws of Thunder Junction, Commander... I mean Modern Horizons 3, Assassin's Creed mini boosters (BOOOOOOO) and Bloomburrow!!!

Too much to say and too little time!

Check out https://www.critawards.org/ for information on the awards, voting, and how you can support!

On this Bonus Action, we have on Ivy, CEO and Founder of the CRIT awards (Creator Recognition In TTRPG's). She discusses the creation, and success of the first annual awards show, changes and improvements for this years awards, and even announces a new category exclusively on the podcast!!!

At long last! Wizards of the Coast announced the release dates for the core 3 rulebooks for One D&D! But they aren't releasing at the same time? Or even near one another! We also squash the rumors that Hasbro was looking to sell the D&D IP to Tencent, a massive chinese communist media conglomerate.

We also take some time to touch on Joe Manganiello's dead on arrive live action Dragonlance show, Foundry Virtual Table Top getting official D&D support, and a new TCG Altered! Their Kickstarter raised nearly $3 million in two weeks! What's all the hype about?

In our second episode of the Dual's & Mana Dork's supplement podcast Bonus Action, we talk to our friend an fellow creator The Bearded GM! We discuss playing D&D, playing offline at your own pace D&D with the Orsak Narrative Universe Discord, and the Live Play D&D series he is a part of Dice Soup!

This week's episode was shaping up to be just talking about the Karlov Manor Set Spoilers, then 2 hours before recording we get some juicy news about One D&D AND Wizards of the Coast collaborating with VR game developer Resolution Games! Are we finally getting our VR VTT?! if Resolution Games previous game Demeo is anything to go off on, we certainly think so!

Surpise! You get a Bonus Episode!!!  It's been a while since we've had on a guest and we thought what better way to start the year than debuting our rebranded bonus episodes, "Bonus Action"!

We have our friend and fellow creator Randy Sackett (AKA The Forged Realm) on to talk about a variety of topics stretching from his partnership with Loot Studios and their upcoming Relics Untold that we playtested at Gen Con, Scheduling and commitment for D&D, Being introduced to Magic the Gathering, 3D Printing, and meeting the great Matthew Mercer while he was taking a piss!

You gotta love a classic Twitter outrage. WotC has yet again been caught using A.I. generated art in promotional materials for the now released Ravnica Remastered Magic the Gathering set! They even DOUBLED DOWN that it wasn't A.I. art, until they admitted it was and deleted the tweets... We also discuss the aforementioned Ravnica Remastered MtG set and if it is even worth it to buy, the upcoming previews from Murder at Karlov Manor, and we discuss if the lack of D&D announcements, information, and products is concerning or a step in the right direction. Then followed as always by questions, comments, concerns, thought, and/or ideas from the audience!

The Dungeon Bros start out going over an interview with a recently ex-employee of Wizards of the Coast and hear what they have to say about the recent layoffs and the state of WotC today.

They then dive deep into the year that was for Dungeons & Dragons, and Magic the Gathering! They discuss all the book releases, One D&D Playtest, MtG sets, commander decks, and all the glorious (as well as super depressing) news from the year of our lord 2023!

The highs were HIGH and the lows were... very very low... But we brought on friend of the show  @TypicalGeminiMTG  to discuss the year that was 2024 for D&D and Magic the Gathering!

We had a new president for Wizards of the Coast, we had AI controversies, we had the release of D&D 5e's major 2024 revfsion, we had Magic formats broken wide open then banned back into some sense of normalcy, and we had the HOTTEST bird summer you could possibly imagine (RIP Nadu) 2025 is also looking very exciting!

We take a brief look at what is coming and what we want to see in the coming year.

In a massive yet oddly unsurprising move, Hasbro has laid off 1,100 employees two weeks before christmas. Even more perplexing, among the layoff's include may at Wizards of the Coast, the subsidiary that is actually profitable, including some employees who are the leads of the teams that produce Hasbro's most profitable products. The Bros are not happy. But we do like the newly announced MCDM RPG crowdfunding campaign that met its goal in only 2 hours! Also, Amazon signs a deal with Games Workshop to create Warhammer 40k shows and movies being produced and starring the illustrious Henry Cavill!!!

The Dungeon Bros breakdown all the changes in the latest One D&D playtest 8 Unearthed Arcana! Barbarian, Druid, and Monk changes abound, New spells, better healing and so much more! We also go over the newest D&D book announceents, an upcoming Dungeons and Dragons video game for 2026, D&D Beyond partnering with 3rd party developers, and the newest Magic the Gathering Banlist! Plus questions, comments, concerns, thoughts, and/or ideas from our fans!

It's Thanksgiving week!! The Dungeon Bros discuss the proper way to consume the Thanksgiving meal, the plagiarized art and theft from an artist in Lost Caverns of Ixalan, more AI Art controversy, the D&D TV channel, and we take some questions from the audience!

Is Wizards of the Coast on the mend?! It seems they are actually caring about their products a little bit and are willing to delay them if the quality isn't up to snuff! The physical release of the Deck of Many things and Book of Many things have been indefinitely delayed until the production samples are of a high enough quality. (If only they would treat their premium Magic the Gathering foil printings in the same way) Plus we go over some Lost Caverns of Ixalan previews!

MASSIVE crossover announcement from Wizards of the Coast! Magic the Gathering and Marvel will be releasing multiple products and SETS starting in 2025, a proposition we thought not possible given Disney's newest TCG Lorcana having released earlier this year! What are the implications of this newest MTG Universes Beyond project? The elemination of Set and Draft boosters in favor of the new "Play Booster". D&D's next product is actually EXPANDING the Deck of Many things. And as is always the case, we have some MTG set spoilers. This time for Universes Beyond Fallout!

One D&D has dropped a brand new playtest! This time for the Dungeon Masters Guide. We dive into the new Bastion system for making fortresses and bases, and compare it to the popular MCDM Fortresses and Followers 3rd party supplement. We also have gone through a wave of Rebranding!!! and will it a new wave of psychosis has found us....

We celebrate an amazing milestone for the podcast... 50 Episodes! Don't worry, we are still the same dummies we've always been.

This week we discuss the highly reviewed Phandelver and Below, the Shattered Obelisk, with some light spoilers (we make it clear when we start talking spoilers). Magic Con Vegas 2023 previews for the fall Lord of the Rings Tales of Middle Earth holiday edition release, the Lost Caverns of Ixalan with Jurassic park cards, and the exciting Ravnica Remastered, with all of the valuable reprints we will be getting!!!

Then we wrap up with Minecrafts D&D DLC, the 3rd party 5e setting Obojima (a studio Ghibli inspired setting), and answer questions, comments, concerns, thoughts, and ideas, from the audience!

The newest One D&D playtest 7 is a rehash of the Barbarian, Fighter, Sorcere, Warlock, and Wizard from the 5th playtest, but updated with feedback and lots of stuff reverted back to thee 2014 players handbook state. We honestly think it's looking REALLY good now!

We are one week from the release of the newest Magic the Gathering set, the Wilds of Eldraine! Love some fairytale creatures, love enchantments, but most of all we LOVE an MTG set that is AFFORDABLE!!! We also preview Phandelver & Below, the Shattered Obelisk, Fall Secret Lair Super Drops, and D&D Whiskey from Matthew Lilliard?!?

It was not even two weeks ago that we were talking about the applications of A.I. for Dungeons and Dragons, and not two weeks later, A.I. controversy! A D&D artist using A.I. to "enhance" their work for Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants. We also have to talk about our trip to GenCon 2023, the news and crazy events of that convention, Baldurs Gate 3 reception, the newly announced slate of releases for Magic the Gathering, the Daggerheart RPG system from Critical Role, and so much more!

The last Banned & Restricted update for 2024 was a JUICY one to say the least! Two Major bans for Legacy in Psychic Frog and Vexing Bauble. Jegantha the Wellspring singing the end to companions in most constructed formats. AND the long awaited banning of The One Ring and... Ampted Raptor(?) for Modern, as well as the shocking UNBANNING of Mox Opal, Green Suns Zenith, Faithless Looting, and the notorious Splinter Twin!!!

Will this meaningfully shake up Modern and other formats? Is it crazy that Kaladesh has been renamed to Avishkar??? What about a D&D video game being delisted, product MSRP's for Aetherdrift, or a new and cheaper than normal Secret Lair release?

Hasbro has just partnered with Artificial Intelligence company Xplored, and A.I. Dungeon Masters are going to be in our future... How bad could it be? The Dungeon Bros discuss the positives and negatives of A.I. for D&D, discuss previewed cards for the Doctor Who Magic the Gathering commander decks, Anime-art reprints in Wilds of Eldraine, a possible future where Dungeons & Dragons movie 2 exisits, and some last minute info for Baldur's Gate 3!
