“In contention is great. One of the best podcast about MTG on the interwebs. I love listening to their opinions about the top decks from different tournaments every 2 weeks. If you love to play Magic competitively then this is the show to listen too!!”

“I would give this podcast 6 of a possible 5 stars, but they weren't able to coerce Ratatat to let them keep the original open.
