Ep.43 A Flavour Too Far?
Season 1 · Episode 43
mardi 6 octobre 2020 • Duration 01:17:36
Secret Lair: The Walking Dead may be the most polarising Magic: The Gathering product ever. Whilst the guys do talk through their own misgivings about this drop and also ruminate over the MTG community's range of reactions to these announcements, these are also still Magic cards. That means flavour that needs to be dissected!

Ep.40 2021: What's On The Menu?
Season 1 · Episode 40
lundi 14 septembre 2020 • Duration 01:02:25
The full line up of 2021 mainline products were spoiled by WOTC alongside Zendikar Rising, and the guys finally have time to go digging for clues, and see what flavour can be uncovered. But along with brand new Planes, there are surprise returns (in more ways than one) and also some notable absences...
Also the guys check in with the ongoing web fiction and not only talk about the direction it's headed in but also the merit of constructive criticism over cynicism.
