Love the chemistry of both of the hosts. Their ability to dissect a card from all angles and in different formats is wonderful. For card break downs and deck tech this is by far my favorite cast. Keep it up guys!

I listen to a lot of MTG podcasts as part of my daily routine. I am mainly a limited player but am also interested in constructed. This podcast is my favorite though, because of how incredible unique of an experience it provides. As far as I know, there is no podcast Patreon. As a matter of fact, the listeners are never even acknowledged. While some may find this off putting, this is my absolute favorite thing about it. Each week we the listeners get to sit as flies on the listening to what feels like a private conversation about constructed Magic between Patrick and Michael J. We get to experience there incredibly deep friendship but over years without getting in the way. I love that they are able to allow their personalities with each other come through without the audience getting in the way while delivering engaging and thought provoking strategic content each week. Also, if you get the chance, make sure to listen to their 10/4/2020 episode. It’s a can’t miss.

This podcast touches on important and very relevant subject matter and provides valuable information. My only issue with the podcast is with the dynamic between Patrick and Michael. Seems like every single idea or counter argument Michael has is immediately disregarded by Patrick. For instance if Patrick is making a case for a card and Michael brings up counter argument Michael basically tells him he’s wrong and continues the discussion. It’s really not conducive to a constructive conversation.

In a world of magic podcasts that only want to talk about why cards aren’t good, this one is a nice change of pace as they actually brainstorm about what could be possible. The only knock on it is the impressive dedication to have Patrick’s mic sound aggressively distorted always.
