I'm doing Tiktok now! Go check me out @eclipsemeteor. Doing the same thing, but much more condensed. If you like these episodes, please consider buying me a Kofi! You could play Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, or you could play Archetype of Imagination.....just a thought.... Hailing from MTG Lexicon, it's Bjorn! We chat about his budget Simic Cascade list, what compromises you make to get it down to $50, cloning Legendary Creatures using Sakashima, and how awesome Archetype of Imagination is?...

Let's show you the meaning of haste....as reminder text! Part 2 of the Uncommons of Middle-Earth continues! We take a look at the Hobbits of the Shire, as well as the rest of the expansive cast of MTGxLOTR. Derek joins me again as we discuss the viability of these cards.

Middle-Earth is chock full of legendary creatures, characters of all shapes and sizes, so we begin to breakdown the 40 legendary creatures of the Uncommon variety, looking at the Elves, Dwarf, humans of Rohan and Gondor. We discuss stats, lore, and if they're good as a commander or part of the 99. Due to the density, part 2 will be next week's episode! You can find Derek on Twitter @genesiswavefor1.

Video games are popping off in 2023, and half the year is already over? How much more can we expect? Spoiler alert, I guess? Phil and Davy, the dynamic couple of Neoroyal, House of Pricey Cardboard (and the personification of Hecking Murder) are here to talk their experiences with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and our collective thoughts on the game, its systems, story, and video games in general. At the time of this release, they have finally beaten the game! Check out...

Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go ape on your opponents? Empress Quinn returns with the second showing of Armix, slinging some madness spells, with some words of wisdom regarding casting some mean nasty spells and never apologizing for it. We make these decks with intention, so we better commit! Otherwise, why do we play these spells at all? Cast those spells with your whole chest. Go check out Quinn on Twitter @GirlDickEnergy, and find MTG Lexicon on Twitch and...

First of all: nice. Continuing the Boros/Lorehold adoration, I have Trentyn return for us to gush about hypotheticals with our favourite Loxodon from Strixhaven, the recently sparked Quintorius! There's a lot of tools and pieces to get max value out of this Lorehold student. We then discuss Trentyn's exploration of other formats and challenges with his playgroup, including Modern, Pauper and Pioneers brews. Check out Trentyn on Twitter @Trentyn907, and check out my deck and Trentyn's...

I was thrown for a loop when I re-read Slinn Voda this episode. Why aren't Merfolk thrown into sea monster cards? We're missing out. Chain comes on to chat about the history of his Slinn Voda, the Rising Deep deck, where it came from, where it's going, and what's the best way to pilot it. We then interject with the benefits of low vs high mana value commanders, new card designs that care about that, and how trusted play can lead to better game experiences. You can check Chain out on...

You've heard of her haven't you? The Legend of Gut. When I was young my father would tell me stories about her, the skeletons she conjured. It's too spooky, this party's getting crazy, LET'S ROCK! Will, AKA ScrufyNerfHerd joins the cast to chat about a pauper Gut and Feywild Visitor deck that's focused on burning out opponents while turning creatures sideways. We then discuss the impact and influence of Capcom's super stylish game series Devil May Cry, and the projects we've been involved...

Blink and you'll miss it: this tiny goblin was actually a dragon the whole time. Who'd have thought? Magic is so wild and random like that. Also we've never played a commander game in our lives. Don't trust what we say. Fitz returns with his Izzet polymorph deck that's gone through some commanders before settling on Rograkh and Esior, getting value from changing low mana value creatures for banger and threatening flyers. Also, who's ready for the crossover commander game of the year: Rick,...

Who knew that the Path of the Kensei lead to having creatures Blink in and out of existence? Is it possible to learn this power? Lenny, aka Ajani's Gay Pridemate, joins me again to discuss Oji, how constant value can lead to unfun play patterns for all involved, and how white-blue is an undervalued aggro color combination. We also talk about how when people say cards are bad, our response is "I'll have a deck on your desk tomorrow morning". Also, JoJo posing? Check out Lenny on Twitter,...

Look, it's tiny baby boy Mishra digging in the sand, combing the desert, building silly constructs. I hope he doesn't become an absolute monster in his adult life. MJ of the MTG in Quarantine podcast and I show our homework of how pretty good mono-red Mishra is in terms of digging through your library, sifting through your graveyard and getting that burst of mana needed to create your next machine monster. Then we chat about his CEDH list that he's brewed up to have a good time in the...

From the frozen east of Canada, a single man flies a banner in the chilly province of Quebec. The flag shows the hybrid symbol of Phyrexia and Mirrodin as one. Emmanuel, aka MunsuLight, and I chat about his budget brew of Jor Kadeen, First Goldwarden that focuses on using Living Weapon and For Mirrodin! cards to beat down the opponent through a hybrid of creature token and equipment value. We then discuss budget brewing, how newer frame treatments allow us to bling out our decks, the...

You're looking for value in this game of Commander. A crime lord from the Undercity offers you an opportunity, you just have to make the journey. Hope you don't mind the plane-hopping along the way. Emmara, the GoddessofBlunder brings the elusive and mini-game making powers of Rilsa Rael together with the enthusiasm and passion for Planechase, finally getting a return to mark the occasion of March of the Machines! We share our thoughts on our respective builds, what makes Initiative and...

Magic's story and lore hasn't been that bad, right? Nothing to really nitpick? But we can't help but compare what we experience with recent pop culture crazes, like the abundance of super hero media in the last decade. Comparisons are inevitable, especially the Marvel Cinematic Universe's monopoly. To explore our thoughts on March of the Machines and the multi-set lead up to the finale, I've brought on Kurohitsuki on for a wild 2 hour ride! We compare our feelings on Magic's stories for...

There will be blood-shed The man in the mirror nods his head The only one left Will ride upon the dragon’s back Because the mountains don’t give back what they takeOh noThere will be blood-shedIt’s the only thing I’ve ever known! Today's podcast is all about the Vampire Soldier himself, Odric Blood-Cursed!

Thanks to Fitz and Gabe for the new intro! The Queen of Cardboard returns to discuss the potential upgrades from recent Magic sets, like from All Will Be One! Beth and I run through new additions you can make to your own Fynn, the Fangbearer deck, and the many things we can look...

Sometimes you make a deck, and the you got your pile of cuts. And then you make a deck with those, and you still got a bunch of cuts left. What else is a Commander player to do? Nick, AKA G3 from MTG Lexicon comes on to talk about his Elf themed deck with Numa and Nadier from Commander Legends 1, how he simplified the deck's play patterns with self imposed restrictions, and our observations of Magic and Commander after playing Commander for over a decade. Check out G3's Numa and Nadier Deck...

Two adult men talk about Pokemon. It goes about as well as you expect. Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon.  That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers  should try to win with their favorites. I like your style. You  understand what's important. Previous guest John joins me in rambling about Pokemon, going on tangents about Pokemon, and getting emotional about Pokemon. Pokemon's been going on for about as long as Magic, and has its fair share of broken mechanics,...

"It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century. A half-century has passed since Earth began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies. A new home for mankind, where people are born and raised. And die." And where space colonies are dropped on Australia. Oof. I'm joined by my friend Gabe, aka ICETEP, where we chat about our love for the multimedia franchise Mobile Suit Gundam! We chat about how we were introduced, the recently released Gundam Witch From Mercury,...

If a printed Attraction has a regular holofoil, but the one of Scryfall has the nut holofoil, which one is the legal one? Prophet from the Casuals 7's podcast is here to chat about Unfinity's very own Dee Kay (which I always mix up as either Kay Dee or Day Kee? dunno why). We discuss rolling dice, rolling out Attractions, if Unfinity is the set for us, and did Unfinity ruin Magic again for the 40th time this year? Listen and find out. Check out Prophet on Twitter @MtgProphet, and check out...

Let's change the tempo a bit! Today I bring on my long time friend Alex on for a little bit of Magic, but a ton of Transformers lore! Alex and I discuss the 15 Brothers War: Transformers cards being released in the near future, if their colour identities make any sense to Alex, and the absolute depth of stories many people (myself included!) have no idea that they're missing when it comes to this absolutely monumental franchise. More than meets the eye indeed! Welcome to Unconventional...

So Liliana and Elspeth kill the Phyrexians and Nicol Bolas and then they kiss. The end....? I am joined by the Praetor's for Charity leads: Light, Liliana and Alice for a bonkers episode! We take a look at the Phyrexian legends of the set, sprinkled with some extra cards by association, discuss the list of viable Phyrexian legends for their charity events, and then descend into absolute craven behaviour of guesses for Magic the Gathering's future stories...and self indulgence. Hey...

If you wanna support me and the show, head on over to my Ko-Fi to buy me a Tim's French Vanilla. Or some new uncommon legends! Familiars are there to help their wizard with their magic, but this nasty little kitty's got a mean streak. We got a lot to do to earn her trust, she'll lead us to victory. Joel aka Enthralimund from Squelch! Another Hearthstone Podcast and fellow MTG Lexicon community member joins me today to talk about his two Falthis partner decks, the Jund Slimefoot secret...

They're hackin' and wackin' and smashin'! They just hack, wack, smashin' those shards!  Light comes on with some mythic legend....and Armix, a legend that cares about artifacts. They discuss how they start with the deck concept of trinkets, between Clues, Treasures and Food, and applying the legends secondary.  To me, it's a lost art at this point, considering modern legendary creature design. Go check out Light on Twitter @ThePhiRexian, and the Armix/Kydele Trinket Tribal deck on Archidekt.

If you'd like to support the show, head on over to https://ko-fi.com/eclipsemeteor and pay for a Tim Horton's French Vanilla! The artwork for this episode was made by GoldSabertooth, go check them out at @GSabetooth on Twitter. For such a seemingly nice and optimistic character of New Capenna, Queza's ability really doesn't indicate that at all. Wonder what the angels would think of her... Fitz returns to gush more about his quintessential commander card, that has a payoff for his favorite...
