What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

So overall the podcast is pretty good. As a new listener, i feel like quite a bit of the recent content is not focused on modern, but rather the general news in the magic community. I think the podcast space is large enough where people (at least speaking for myself) desire niche areas like specifically modern. Do i care if teferi is banned in standard? Do i care about historic? Well i do, but i dont tune into a podcast specifically for modern to find that info. To provide some constructive feedback, play to your niche. I would love to see weekly metagame updates to the format and interviews with skilled players rather than hear about BnRs to a format that the podcast isnt about (ive been listening to the older shows because this was the case before). Thanks for what you do! Im a subscriber and ive added this to my weekly podcast rotation.

Super useful and definitely helped my game and after a couple weeks not playing modern it definitely helps to know the current modern meta!

Starfall240 · Aug 2019

Great show love the content but the volume is very inconsistent. My headphones are maxed out and I still have trouble listening to certain portions and then someone’s mic will be fine and rupture my ear drums.

idovalina · Jul 2019

Love the banter between all the host and they bring up interesting ideas, jank ( Myr Superion will work at some point!!) and meta approved. Keep up the good work!

drshepenlov · Sep 2019

This show has turned into a A LOT of ads. They also go off topic quite often and don’t seem to keep up with the modern format very religiously. Michael is the best person on this podcast, he offers up very relevant information and actual good ideas. TLDR: if you don’t mind ads and aren’t trying to be super competitive in MTG, this is an interesting podcast but misleading.

WuddupDen · Sep 2019

Consistently 10%-15% of the total run time is devoted to the hosts pushing their Twitter, YouTube, patreon, partners, and canned ads that interrupt the content in mid-sentence. Content, once they get to it, is not super well informed, but usually engaging. I’ve been a subscriber for some time now and the hosts have always devoted too much time to shilling themselves and their partners, but the uptick over the last several months, the addition of advertising, and now live promotion of paid YouTube comments just broke me. I know this is a hustle, but there are better ways.
