Everyday Eternal Podcast

Julian and Lanny attempt to keep things casual and end up delivering a long, unsolicited defense of Premodern as a thinking person’s mistake. What follows is a surprisingly coherent case for a format that rewards preparation, curiosity, and learning things the hard way. Premodern comes off as punishing, deep, and endlessly discussable—in other words, exactly the kind of Magic that keeps pulling people back in. Resistance is possible, but not recommended.

00:00:00 – Cold open & why this is barely a podcast
No intro, no structure, just vibes and accidental philosophy.

00:02:00 – Falling into Premodern by not payi...

Julian and Kai sit down to finally hit record after fifty minutes of warm-up nonsense and immediately do what they do best: talk about Magic by talking around Magic. From Eternal Weekend in Lucca to commentary stories, format hot takes, and the kind of background info you only get from hanging around judges and grinders long enough, this episode wanders comfortably through Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and the strange joy of watching busted decks do busted things.

Somewhere along the way, Premodern turns into the main character, old formats get lovingly roasted, Blue-Green Madness is once again declared...

Julian is joined by the Vintage Ambassador himself, Justin Gennari, for a full guided tour of the current Vintage metagame. Justin breaks down why Vintage might be secretly the healthiest format in Magic, what really separates Esper and UB Lurrus, why Max Gilmore’s BUG Lurrus is both sweet and clunky, and how weird accidents like Kitesail Larcenist actually happen in Vintage.

We dig through everything: Lurrus tempo, PO and Breach combo, Mono Black’s breakout performance, the three major Workshop variants, the sad state of Bazaar decks, Mono White Initiative, the Doomsday renaissance (or lack thereof), and O...

We somehow convinced Anuraag Das to step away from his broadcast desk long enough to talk about… his broadcast desk. Once known as one of the pillars of Legacy, Anu tells us how a bit of “hey, someone’s gotta stream this” spiralled into DreamHack contracts, 15 battery packs, and paying union fees that cost more than a playset of Underground Seas.

We dive into his journey from everyday grinder to the person actually making Magic coverage happen, the disasters that nearly fried a whole event (and his power bank), and the moment he realised Twitch might not, in fact...

This week on Everyday Eternal, the boys are joined by Max Gilmore, an Eternal Weekend champion who recently added yet another Top8 to his belt. Together they navigate their way through another episode that was definitely planned in advance. Between “serious” Vintage talk and questionable life advice, the crew dives into Eternal Weekend stories, commentary behind the scenes, and the eternal struggle of looking smart on camera while eating junk food in pajama pants.

We also learn why Max’s Vintage deck secretly runs on frogs, how to lose your reputation faster than a Dark Confidant trigger, and wh...

Between tales of potato sponsorships, Magic tournament bans with nightclub-level secrecy, and an entrance through a life-sized Thomas the Tank Engine, the episode sets a new bar for “you can’t make this up.”

From there, it’s a whirlwind of LEGO heists, nostalgic IRC trolling, and tournament breakdowns ranging from Burn taking down a 2.5k to Kai’s heroic attempt to metagame against a banned card. Bavarian brewhouses get overrun by Commander pods, and demons get mistaken for hotel reception bells. Somewhere in between, Callum is busy crash-testing LEGO cars at full speed, and the hosts start plot...

Between Julian scraping into the semifinals of a paper tournament and Kai being blindsided by the entire country of Guam, Callum does his contractually obligated best to herd the chaos. Meanwhile, the North Sentinel Islands make their show debut.

If you like clever chaos, mild incompetence, and friends who are way too honest about themselves, this episode will quietly ruin your sense of calm.

Kai and Callum return from Eternal Mania and the Legacy European Masters with plenty of stories and just a few bruised egos. From night bus journeys and questionable Belgian cuisine to the thrill of sitting across from some of Europe’s best Legacy players, they recount their experiences with equal parts honesty and deck choices that looked smarter on paper than they did in round three.

Tune in to find out why Eternal Mania is one of the best community events in Europe, even if your record says otherwise.

In this episode, we bravely attempt to make our rambling sound structured by claiming it’s “about the community.” What it’s actually about is cardboard hoarding, arguing over whether Judge Tower counts as a real format, and trying to convince ourselves that a Ledger Shredder counts as a financial plan.

Meanwhile, Johan Larsson strolls in fresh off his Eternal Mania win, dropping Legacy wisdom while the rest of us ramble about goblin collectors, nightclub encounters, and whether playing too many Tamiyos is a lifestyle choice.

By the end, we’ve somehow managed to cover tournament...

Just in time for Eternal Mania to unleash a storm of Legacy degeneracy across Europe, a familiar green menace has crawled straight back into the spotlight: Jaime Vázquez Villares took down the Spanish National Championship and followed it up just the next day with a Top8 in the IMPACT Returns main event… with GLIMPSE Elves!

Now, you might have heard it here first… okay, you almost certainly didn’t. But Julian is vibrating with joy at the sight of Quirion Ranger once again doing actual, meaningful things in Legacy. After jamming dozens of matches, he’s ready to...

We regret to inform you that Kai’s Phage obsession has entered what experts are calling the "no-return phase.” Multiple sources close to the situation (i.e. us) report he's started referring to losses as “inevitable consequences of brilliance.” His entourage is pushing for an intervention, but Kai insists it’s all part of his visionary arc. We’ll see how that’s going.Meanwhile, Julian has returned to the MTGO grind with Painter, only to discover that (shockingly) the format has not undergone a spiritual awakening in his absence. Turns out, Legacy is still Legacy, and Painter still paints.Callum, now em...

In a bold and daring move, Wizards of the Coast decided to do... absolutely nothing. No bans, no unbans, just leading us on with a "we're thinking about it" and a firm shrug in Legacy’s direction. Naturally, we spend over an hour dissecting this non-event like it’s the Zapruder film.We were tempted to slap a “find out why!” on here like true clickbait professionals in training... but let’s be real: if you’re listening to this podcast, you probably already have a hunch.Still, sit back and enjoy us trying to make sense of the current Legacy metag...

Kai goes to Austria to revive ANT in the most mediocre fashion and makes a ground-breaking discovery about airplanes. Meanwhile Julian's meticulous research uncovers that Aluren is probably no longer viable in Legacy. Monday can't come soon enough.00:00:00 Steak is For Breakfast00:10:30 Kai ANT's @ Austrian Legacy Masters  01:09:00 Magic Con Vegas01:29:30 What Happens On Monday01:44:30 What has Aluren Ever Done For Us?https://imgur.com/a/CIWL7Swhttps://austrian-legacy.com/https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=70388&d=733371&f=LEhttps://mtgtop8.com/event?e=70251&d=732005&f=LEThank you for tuning in,Until next time!Julian

Las Vegas casinos have announced the addition of Magic: The Gathering’s Legacy format to their gaming options, highlighting the format’s recent surge in volatility as a major draw. Operators view this increased unpredictability as a positive feature, adding excitement and strategic depth that fits the city’s fast-paced gaming environment.Sources indicate that casinos are working closely with Wizards of the Coast to maintain and even enhance this trend, aiming to keep gameplay thrilling and engaging for competitive players. This partnership signals a new chapter in Vegas’s commitment to innovative and dynamic gaming experiences.In a related move, Wi...

Following an episode bursting at the seams with some of the worst decks Legacy has ever suffered through, we felt morally obligated to redeem ourselves (and the format) by recording another one in a vain attempt to restore our credibility. Settle in for two hours of memes, failures, and Julian climbing atop his trusty soapbox to share the seductive charm of the unknown. 00:00:30 The Doomsday Detectives are on the Case 00:17:30 We're HOSTING a Tournament! 00:22:30 Kai Gets Exposed 00:27:30 This deck BANKRUPTED Julian 00:38:40 Veteran Explorer Storm 00:52:30 THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL 01:06:30 "I KNEW You Would Bring This!" 01:18:30 This deck is actually good 01:25:30 This d...

Legacy has been around for over 20 years now - time for the boys to review the worst of the worst, the absolute bottom of the barrel of decks the community ever tricked itself into accepting into the format. Callum, Kai, and Julian each introduce three decks from wildly different eras of the format to...properly analyze and never make fun of. Also, Kai has some great tips for you, should you ever find yourself in what he calls the Greater Luxembourg Area. We know this is what gets you out of bed every morning. 00:00:00 THE GOLDEN TICKET TOURNAMENT 00:13:30 The Worst...

Callum rejoins the crew and is immediately wrong - about Black Lotus, of all the cards. Something he turns out to actually have been right about is the return of everyone's favourite, most difficult-to-pilot archetype: 17-colour Midrange Pile. Turns out Rakshasa's Bargain is a real and showing up in playsets across Legacy now. Also, get your bodies ready for the GOLDEN TICKET for the next Impact Returns in Spain in July!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEAmnesty International Stands Firm in Support of Legacy Format Bans: A Call for Justice Against Mycospawn and Troll of Khazad-dûmMarch 31, 2025 – London, UK – In a bold and unprecedented move, Amnesty International has thrown its full support behind the recent ban of Sowing Mycospawn and Troll of Khazad-dûm from the Legacy format of Magic: The Gathering. While the organization has long championed the rights of prisoners and the abolition of unjust detention, today, Amnesty makes an exception: we stand united in the belief that these two cards deserve to be locked away in the deepest dungeons of the Magic...

I feel like for the last ~18 months, Legacy has near-constantly been in a state of suspense, anxiously anticipating the next big change. And I can't be alone in disliking it. I enjoy it when not just "the current meta" but the format as a whole settles, and actually allows for people to get deeper into their decks and find their place in the format. It's what initially "entrenched" me into the format, and what I think Magic as a whole could really use. Guess what I'm looking for is a break from the constant hype, change and even just anticipation o...

Spurred on by a recent chat on the Eternal Durdles podcast, the boys dive headfirst into the age-old lament: where have all the "real" Control decks gone in Legacy? And, more importantly—what makes one in the first place?Armed with ancient wisdom (a.k.a. some 2007 musings from venerable sage Adrian Sullivan), we attempt to unravel the mysteries of Control, why it’s been all but exiled from Legacy, and whether we’re all (read: not Julian) just hopelessly nostalgic for a bygone era—or, you know, actually onto something.00:00:00 AI Takes Over00:11:00 Strategic Archetype vs Role00:17:25 Adrian Sullivan: The Stra...

With Callum busy bringing metal to rural German villages, Kai and Julian invited BOTH Eternal Weekend North American champions to the show. By that, we mean Kai was doing all the scheduling work while Julian was kitesurfing in Egypt. Join us as Max Gilmore and Kelvin Wallace share their thoughts about their deck choices and states of the two formats. One of them in particular straight-up thinks his team broke a format in half despite not casting Psychig Frog or Brainstorm - and why he won the tournaments out of spite after being disrespected.  00:00:00 Opening a Munich Brewery 00:07:00 Legacy of t...

Either way, Magic Online recently hosted the preparation event for the upcoming big Legacy tournaments across the globe, and we're here to review the results.  Kai also reports back from his boot camp piloting the most difficult deck in the format, and whether he's ready to rock it in Prague next month.

Another giant Legacy event in the books, and of course Kai used to go to kindergarten with the winner, or something.

Almost 400 people gathered in Italy for Europe's largest Legacy tournament series, the 4Seasons in Bologna. Even more importantly, this iteration also featured the finals of the European Legacy Masters. Following 5k+ players grinding it out all across the continent for an entire season, 110 qualified players gathered in the Emilia-Romagna capital to crown their champion. Kai was on the ground to witness it all and do commentary, while also casually Top8'ing the Team event playing Vintage.

He has Top8'ed FOUR 4Seasons Legacy Main Events, including back-to-back events of 400-500 players.

The last week leading up to Eternal Weekend has seen a TON of new tech coming out of the woodwork, and we're here to share it! Decks, techs, as well as important strategies to approach some of the most important matchups in the format, we're all about it in this last-minute briefing for your Eternal Weekend EU!

While Julian seems to be stuck in a slump, and Kai Top8s another tournament, Callum tests the physical boundaries of the format: born a meme, (almost) living the dream after a 4-1'ing a Legacy league, 14-Beanstalk Cascade is his new weapon of choice that turned out to be much stronger than expected. Grab the decklist below and find out whether Ardent Plea is right for you.

Kai just right onto the cast after a devastating run in his last league, and the rest of the hosts to what they were trained to in the face of such inadequacy. With that out of the way, we look at specifically why RUG Delver has been one of the most popular homes of Up the Beanstalk lately, and why we just can't get enough of that Canadian Threshold vibe in Legacy.

Welcome to SEASON 2 of Everyday Eternal! Callum, Kai & Julian look back at the madness that was the very first Legacy Grand Prix ever. From today's perspective, some absolutely wild decks and card choices populated the upper tables and Top8 of GP Philadelphia 2005, and we're here to celebrate some of the best of them! 00:00:00 Kai faked his religion to get into a school00:16:00 How We Started Legacy00:32:30 Legacy Was Almost Called HWAT?!00:38:30 Legacy in 200500:49:20 GP Philadelphia 200501:37:30 Can You Figure This Out? everyday-eternal.compatreon.com/everydayeternal Our a cappella intro by Kai GP Philadelphia 2005 Top8 decks Coverage (Web Archive) Metagame Survey PlanetMTG ...

4Seasons Bologna is the cathedral of eternal Magic, where we practice our religion called Legacy. Returning from our third pilgrimage, the crew reflects on what was a very different experience this time around: all three of us were doing commentary during the European Legacy Masters, skipping Saturday's big side event for it...mostly, as Callum the madman was actually juggling both roles. Tune in for many stories of railbirded Win-and-In matches, and find out how UB Scam massively underperformed, and which flavors of 4c Control were dominating the top tables, along with some sweet Artifact spice! 00:00:00 Julian Almost Gets Scammed00:11:10 4...

But like anytime you move house, sometimes stuff breaks. So in the unlikely case that all throughout September you don't see any new episodes, please check either our Instagram, Twitter, or this website for a link to the new dedicated Everyday Eternal page to continue your addiction. We're super excited for this move, as this is just the first step of many to level up production and provide an all-around...

QUICK GET IN THE CAR, MIND'S DESIRE HAS BEEN UNBANNED IN LEGACY! As the news hit on our way back home from work, Kai, Callum & I immediately jumped into a call to record our thoughts about one of the most exciting unban in years! Not only is Mind's Desire one of the most epic cards in the history of the game - it also sets a new precedent for WotC being willing to touch cards that were once considered un-unbanable. We touch on different ways to build the deck, look back at the Legacy UNCHAINED Series from 2019 (during which Mind's...

With Callum currently rocking out on a burning boat in Eastern Europe, Kai & Julian invite Iñigo 'runkor' Villamor onto the show, to look back at their adventures at IMPACT Returns in Spain earlier this month. There, in the very north-western reaches of the country in Galicia, the IMPACT crew had (thus far) rather secretly built the second-biggest recurring Legacy of Europe. We look back at their history which reaches back over a decade to a bunch of guys inside a bar, all the way to the big Legacy+Modern events that are hosting now. Starting this year, Impact is n...

Callum, Kai & Julian gather for a first assessment of the damage Orcish Bowmasters & Friends have done, and are happy they actually brought up a card last episode that Callum completely underestimated. With tons of high-stake events in the books, we take a look at which new cards have actually made an impact, and discuss our feelings about Bowmasters after getting a couple of games in with them. In the second part of the show, we take a look at the results of NRG Chicagoland, SCG Baltimore, and a couple other events. Julian is especially excited about the Creative Technique ("Mississippi...

Have you ever confused a random warhorse for the most glorious king of Rohan? Happens to the best of us. As yet another episode's script is short-notice altered by Callum crushing a tournament (with an altered version of Painter), the crew comes together to reivew Kai's special appearance at the BOTTROP series in, well, BOTTROP and why people paid money to wrestle with him. Also find out why Orcish Bowmasters is about to give Legacy the Wrenn and Six treatment, and completely wrap for the time to come...we believe. To round things out we highlight the results of yet...

Ten years ago, four guys came together to found what would eventually turn out to be the longest-running Legacy podcast out there. Fast forward a decade, and Everyday Eternal is still going strong, with bi-weekly episodes, questionable takes, and three clowns joined by a dentist to celebrate their tenth anniversary! Join us for a review of the entire Everyday Eternal timeline, from our very first episode, across all its 9 hosts, to where we are today: awarding the EVERYDAY ETERNAL PODCASTING AWARDS™ in 6 category, 1 bonus questions (and a lifetime achievement award!) 00:00:00 Where were you 10 years ago? 00:09:20 Historic Podcast Timeline 00:21:50 Our Most In...

Famed Swedish Legacy Control mage Marcus 'iwouldliketorespond' Ewaldh joins the cast tonight. Together we go deep on his very low-to-the-ground Jeskai Staff list which he's been Top8'ing Legacy Challenges left and right with recently. Marcus prefers an incredibly streamlined approach with no end-game payoffs but balances this out by employing 4 copies of Urza's Saga. This is contrasted by Angelo "wiky" Cadei's Jeskai Staff-less list that heavily leans on endgame Planeswalkers, Shark Typhoon, and Day's Undoing. Going further we also look into an entirely new and unique take on Legacy Control that Phil Bleckman started pushing recently, which gives Julian...

What's better than Europe & Asia? Australia, obviously. On today's show Kai, Callum & Julian are joined by none other than Lee Hung Nguyen aka 1MrLee, who is currently hiding from the law in Berlin, of all the places. Anarcho-Kai has given him shelter for the night, as 1MrLee joins the cast for a special guest appearance. The four of us discuss the implications of the new-and-improved Banned & Restriction schedule and catch up on some of the most interesting Legacy results of the month. 00:00:00 1MrLee joins the crew 00:24:00 The new B&B Schedule 00:38:35 So Many Insane Decklists 00:45:35 Zoo is Back?! 00:51:35 Grixis New...

God is dead. Slain by a mortal, ready to ascend to newfound divinity. For the 22nd time, Japan crowns a God of Legacy, and Kai has all the coverage, background info, and some of the most mind-blowing tech for us. Another big announcement: Kai & Julian will be the *live* on-site commentary duo for Spain's biggest Legacy event of the year: IMPACT Returns in Galicia from the 7th to the 9th of July! With the title of the Spanish National Champion, an even bigger Legacy event on Saturday AND 4 European Legacy Masters slots on the line, we're looking forward to many...

With the metagame slowly settling into place, Kai, Callum, and Julian publish their Legacy 3x3 as it stands today: each one of them ranks their Top3 Aggor, Control, and Combo decks in the format as it exists today - until we realize that one of them completely misunderstood the assignment...and wants to bring Dredge back?! We also take a look at two spicy decks that recently made waves in the format: HankTheObese's BW Arena Rector, and Killabee's new version of Riddlesmith. 00:00:00 Easter in Japan?! 00:27:00 Spice, Spice, Baby! 00:44:00 Julian's 3x3 01:13:20 Callum's 3x3 01:24:20 Kai's 3x3 Et Cetera April Top8 Decklists HankTheObese's...

Julian takes Painter to the final of the Legacy Challenge, with a list from Callum's Monkey School of deckbuilding. Why were there 4 Thorn of Amethyst, even though Julian expected no Storm to show up? And is Staff of the Storyteller the future of UW Control in Legacy? Also, is this the year Humility finally spikes? Tune in for an episode with a little bit of everything, as the metagame is still settling and we just want to have fun. 00:00:00 Callum's Monkey School of Deckbuilding 00:23:30 Julian Top2's the Challenge 00:49:20 Callum Needs to Sort Out His Life 00:58:00 What's Good in Legacy? 01:09:00...

With White Plume Adventurer & Expressive Iterration finally put to rest, Kai, Callum & Julian reflect on the first week of post-ban Legacy. Has RG Initiative lived up to the hype, and how will Delver compensate on both tactical and strategic levels? Two of our heroes look back at their first Legacy Challenge results in this wide-open™ new format, and discuss why Kai's fears of Predict are probably unwarranted. In the first half of the show, we also look back at yet another outstandingly-well-run 4Seasons event in Bologna, in which Everyday Eternal Top8'ed the Team Tournament...after which Callum got lost so...

While Kai still tries to resolve his identity crisis by adding Expressive Iteration to every deck under the sun, Callum considers bringing back old faithful for 4Seasons Vintage. Because who doesn't remember Goblin Welder's reign of terror back in the day? Meanwhile Julian actually got to ONLY NOW play with Chaos Defiler in a real tournament, as he Top8s Et Cetera Freising. In the second half of the show, we cover all the recent developments in Legacy, as the community heads into yet another massive 4Seasons in Bologna this weekend. We also go about which decks we are going...

With Julian's journey coming to an end, the entire crew regroups back home again to as Kai rolls out his new economic masterplan: forget #MengucciFinance - this is Sawatarix Economics, and it's here to stay. Somehow the failing Callum and Julian remain unconvinced in the face of Kai's economic genius, but surely our listeners will be able to appreciate our co-host's brilliant business savviness. While Kai has been preparing for the unquestionable riches that are about to come his way, Callum has been slinging some cards in Birmingham's GREAT HALL at the Axion MEGA Legacy event! Seriously, every tournament needs...

With Julian still on the run, the boys review the entire Legacy banlist card-by-card, wondering how each one compares to the current standards of Legacy. For a hot 2 minutes, Julian thinks Mana Vault could get unbanned before his fever wears off. What starts out as a quick evaluation of some of the more broken cards quickly develops into how they would/could/should be used in 2023 Legacy. Apparently one of them completely breaks Hedron Crab. Tune in for a dynamic yet laid-back episode of shooting the shit. Basically, an escape from the interregnum state of Legacy as everyone waits for...

Kai is finally back from Japan. Did he win the God of Legacy event? No. Does he share his three golden rules about how to make your trip to the land of the rising sun the most enjoyable it could be? Allegedly. Listener caution advised. All we know is that ChatGPT will most certainly do a better job judging your next event than Kai did in his first (and last) appearance as a judge. Catch Me If You Can: Tokyo Drift. In the second half of the show we cover Julian's victory in the Et Cetera Invitational and listen to C...

Let's send off 2022 in style, looking back at yet another turbulent year of Legacy all around the world. Kai, Callum & Julian recount their favourite moments and new cards, and relive each one's biggest PUNT of the year. Join us for a great hangout, including some red hot takes about Ancient Tomb and Ponder. By the way, if you're a patreon, NOW's the time to make sure your postal address has been added to your account :-) 00:00:35 — Kai wants to invade Japan 00:27:35 — THE FINAL EPISODE of the YEAR 00:29:35 — Ancient Tomb is the BEST card in Legacy 00:36:35 — Is Ponder dying? 00:50:05 — Big Event Roundup 01...

For the first time ever we assemble all three gladiators in the same place, to record our first-ever in-person episode! Kai, Callum, and Julian sat down in their hotel room at 4Seasons Bologna to record a preview of their Team Trios Tournament, the European Legacy Masters, as well as the 480-player Legacy main event! We also come together right after the event to record our look back at it, and celebrate Kai's Top8 in the ELM, and Callum's Top16 in the main event - and Julian learns some secrets about Modern! 00:00:35 — 3 Guys 1 Room - Trailer 00:37:35 — Team Trios 00:51:55 — European Legacy Masters 01:23:35 — Legacy M...

Julian jumps from a ship and swims ashore to eat the famous island grass. Is this the first Legacy podcast recorded in Africa? Julian calls in from Kenya, while Callum steals someone else's WiFi to tune in on the day he moved into a new apartment. This leaves this episode with KAI as the most professional member of the cast. Enter at your own risk. I'm editing this episode during a 16-hour stint at home, right after returning from Kenya, and before leaving for Bologna tomorrow at 6am. If this is your first time experiencing the Everday Eternal: you picked...

Callum & Julian invite a short-notice guest to the cast, as Berlin keeps taking its toll on Kai. Joined by last month's AXION MEGA Legacy Winner Andy Fernandes, we deconstruct the hottest new deck in town, Naya Stompy, as well as his actual favourite deck, RG Valakut. In the second half of the show, we go over Callum's insane run in both Challenges, going 13-0 across both Swiss. Of course, he immediately loses to UR Delver in the Quarters. Come on Callum, get your shit together! 00:09:20 — Et Cetera Tournament Report 00:42:15 — Naya Stompy is CRACKED 01:07:45 — RG Valakut Deconstruction 01:33:35 — Callum Top8s the Showcase...

With a foreword about Jordan Aisaka The previous weekend, England's Axion Now hosted one of the big non-GP tournaments the UK has ever seen: The Gathering offered the two so-called MEGA LEGACY events, each attracting 100+ players. Everyday Eternal was represented by our professional painter pilot Callum, who managed to navigate his way to two Top16 finishes with Painter. Both Legacy Top8s of the weekend featured some super interesting decks: one a huge blast from the Wilson-Hunter-past of the format and a way to stomp people with Courser of Cruphix - while the other saw the breakout of NAYA STOMPY. L...

"Back in the old days at Wizards of the Coast, we used to joke about how cravenly greedy it would be to release cards that you could only get with a high purchase price, like only available in a booster box etc. We often said that if we did that it was because we were out of ideas and the grasping suits had totally taken over. Then we would laugh because we would never allow that to happen. We called them 'chase' cards and we knew their single purpose was to squeeze even more money out of obsessed players. Even...

In an impromptu attempt at amateur science, the crew looks into the effect of pouring a bottle of wine over your keyboard. The results will SHOCK you, as one of us soon gets relegated to a literal casting couch for the rest of the podcast. Oh, and there's Max Gilmore too, who actually CRUSHED the quarterly Legacy Showcase Challenge on Magic Online with Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. Never since the days of Juzám Djinn has a black four-drop creature ruled the tables again, so we're all excited to find out more about it. Oh, and Max happily calls Anuraag Das' b...

It's a full house today, as the entire crew is joined by famed sky noodle expert John Ryan 'xJCloud' Hamilton. xJ recently relocated his desires into the realms of Dragon Stompy, and used his dark powers to once again almost take down a Legacy SuperPTQ. Nevertheless, his 2nd place finish was good enough to qualify him for the Pro Tour (or whatever the cool kids call it these days). We invited xJ to give us his take on how to build the deck, what the common pitfalls in deck construction are - and answer a whole bunch of questions from o...

We planned this episode as a mailbag one, but then SOMEONE had to go and win the Legacy Challenge with Painter and mess up our plans. Typical Callum move, shameful. Tune in to find out everything about Callum's victory, and listen to us answering all kinds of questions, such as: will the Legacy Premier League return? What happened to the other 22 Julians? And which one of us is actually the best player? 00:00:34 — Kai’s Booth @ Gamescom 00:05:04 — Callum Wins The Challenge 00:40:04 — European Legacy Masters 00:49:34 — Mailbag Questions Callum's Challenge-winning Painter list The Gorgeous Premodern Decks The European Legacy Masters 4Seasons Bologna Belgian Eternal We...

Callum, Kai & Julian gather to take a comprehensive look back at metagame ever since Ragavan good banned. Equipped with all the latest numbers from the Data Collection Group, we are able to provide on of the most detailed reviews of metagames & matchups this podcast has ever seen. In the second half of the show we also analyse Ozymandias172's newly released Legacy Power Rankings, and share our thoughts about specifically Jeskai as well as the current UR trinity of top decks. 00:20:08 — October: BIG Legacy Event in the UK 00:23:40 — UW Moderation Control 00:37:13 — The LOST Episode! 00:40:38 — The COMPLETE meta of the last 8 months 0...

If there's one country that knows what it takes to flavour the shit out of a tournament, it is Japan, where earlier this month, the 20th all-Japanese GOD of Legacy was crowned. However, similar to the Chess World Championship, one does not simply ascend to divinity but instead has to battle their way through a candidates tournament, in order to earn the right to challenge the reigning GOD of Legacy. What sounds like an anime plot is the reality that Legacy players in Japan are living every quarter of the year. In today's episode, the boys browse through the innovation...

Kai returns from his attempted raid of the Viking coasts of Scandinavia. Did he finally end up touching Andrea Mengucci at Tier1CON in Malmö? And which long-forgotten Bird Wizard ended up costing him a potential Top8? Thew crew covers the event from Kai's POV, and jumps into an analysis of a rather colourful Top8 afterwards. Also, MAGMALORD2000 has entered the chat.

Today's episode is mostly travel stories from around the world: Callum just returned from his band's month-long tour of the American Midwest and East Coast, where he picked up, among other things, an 18-inch machete at Walmart, and played in front of some of the biggest audiences ever...yet! Julian meanwhile declined an absolute bargain on a Maasai-knife in Kenya, where he spent the last three weeks working from a hammock above a lagoon. And Kai does, what Kai does best: destroying people with Doomsday, at the legendary Et Cetera Legacy tournament in Freising. These are their stories. 00:00:40 — Callum goes to...

The Legacy Showcase Challenge flipped the metagame on its head: an all-creature Sliver deck, the latest iteration of Goblins, a TON of turbo-charged Goblin decks - and in the middle of the madness, Javier Dominguez driving his Esper Yorion Cephalid Breakfast car around the arena. Legend has it Javier's list was created during a transporter freak accident, but what do we know about Star Wars? Kai, Callum & Julian jump into the most interesting decks that made Top8 in the biggest Legacy event of the month and uncover the ancient secret of Japanese shuffling sound design. 00:15:47 — Ledger Shredder to the Moon! 00:21:54 — Mono...

Today we announce a MASSIVE improvement to the podcast. We saved up for a long time, and were finally able to buy out the contract of THIS guy to join us as a brand new member of the crew!

Are we forever gonna play a game of Whac-A-Mole, or go all-in on nuking some pillars® of the format? And why it actually does not not matter….until we have solved a deeper issue. On tonight's episode, Callum & Julian are joined by serial format breaker Lawrence Harmon, who authored some of the rare meta-level articles about this topic. 00:07:12 — History Lesson 00:24:52 — Legacy's Format Identity 01:05:42 — Format Identity Under Attack! 01:14:42 — Lawrence's Solution 01:28:12 — The Nuclear Option? 01:55:22 — The 4 Options Lawrence's Twitter Delver of Secrets and the Ban List EDH and the Issues Inherent to Eternal Formats Lawrence’s #BagAlert Mailbag Special #2 – Still In My Bag Ban Season is Here...

Callum came, Callum saw, Callum painted. All of London. Mostly blue. All the way to the very top of this month's London Legacy Monthly, as he and his ragtag crew of Goblins, Scarecrows and a lonely Monkey emerged victorious.

With the format busy discussing Delver, Lands in the hands of Matt Brown has decided to completely wreck the metagame and win two of the February Legacy Challenges. Callum and Julian invite famed Legacy experts Alli Lindblom and Kourosh Alizadeh to the cast, to discuss the hidden powers that lie within one of Legacy's most unique decks, and why it seems to be bulldozing the format right now. 00:11:30 — The Deck former known as 43 Lands 00:23:10 — The Standard Build 00:51:00 — The best listener question 00:58:25 — 8Mulch Lands! 01:18:00 — The Competitive Lands Project 01:43:50 — The PendrellVale.com Project Pendrellvale.com Project Kourosh's Twitter Alli's YouTube Channel Alli's Twitter Pr...

Legacy developers are currently working in full overdrive, creating fast-combo decks out of removal spells, and conducting ethically questionable experiments trying to merge two or more decks into one. Callum, Matt & Julian dive into the madness and uncover a hidden gem that had been lurking around the format for a while, before having its breakout result rather recently. The crew also explores the uses of it in especially UB "Tempo" Doomsday and why Temporal Mastery is now the most playable Miracle spell in Legacy. In the second half of the cast, we go over the most playable cards in Kamigawa...

Ragavan has been banned. Our sweet prince of Legacy, beloved by many and revered by even more, is no more. Wizards of the Coast has taken action, and our simian sidekick will speak, see or do no evil anymore. But as a wise man once said: don't be sad it's over - be glad it happened. In this spirit, Callum and Julian analyze WotC's stated reason for banning the monkey, and why this B&R announcement has already pathed the way for the following one "soon" after. We also take a look at the state of the format we're now...

After Callum had been shamelessly stood up by our scheduled guest, Queen Elizabeth II of England, we instead invited the ONE and ONLY Andrea Mengucci of Italy to save the day and introduce us to the current state of Modern! The format has recently gotten tons of praise following the release of Modern Horizons 2, with some voices even comparing it to the “Golden Age” of Legacy. After checking with our Patreon Discord, our supporters were overwhelmingly in favour of dedicating an episode to learning all there is to know about why Modern is such an amazing experience right now, so here...

For the final episode of the year, the full triforce assembles once again, as we get military clearance to have Matt back on the cast. In the first part of today's show, we try to stay on the topic of Julian almost qualifying for the Pro Tour through the Legacy Showcase Qualifier, playing the weirdest version of Elves to date, but the conversation escalates the most absurd discussion of the year..thus far. Once things get back on track we dive deeper into one of the highest-profile/stakes event of the year, as Callum rediscovers his desire to crush the...

Alex 'Vivarus' McKinley joins Callum & Julian to celebrate his recent win in the Eternal Weekend Vintage Mox Emerald Championship. Alex and his crew applied specific principles to constructing the Grixis Tinker Breach list that guided him all the way to the trophy, and we promise only 90% of it is gonna about playing the most broken card they could find. Is Preordain secretly the best still unrestricted spell in Vintage? In the second part of the show we take a look at Legacy, and its pathological addiction towards adding more colours to decks - and getting away with it! Especially the...

With the three BIGGEST Legacy events of the year in the books, Callum & Julian invite Danish Doomsday deity Martin 'nevilshute' Nielsen to the cast! Martin just finished runner-up in the biggest of last weekend's Legacy events, nearly taking home the Sylvan Library painting. Martin tells us all you ever wanted to know about Doomsday, and why sometimes you don't even need Thassa's Oracle to win. In the second half of the cast, we go over the top finishers of all three events - and discover maybe the WILDEST deckbuilding principle we ever encountered in a (successful) deck - definitely don't mi...

Callum & Julian review the most recent big event results, making a big discovery: UR Zoomer Control is ready to take the metagame by storm! Callum has all the background info on the deck, and Julian can’t stop loving it (and got an immediate 5-0 with it after the cast.) Definitely check out this deck as one of the hottest recommendations for Eternal Weekend, and learn why you need to alter your gameplay and strategy to play the deck to the best of its capabilities. For those new to MTGO, we also cover how to play in Eternal Weekend, and wh...

"I see a red card and I want it painted blue. I could not foresee this thing happening to you." - Mick "Painter's Servant" Jagger (1966) Callum & Julian welcome Legacy Methuselah Marius Hausmann back onto the cast to discuss a wide range of topics, starting out each one's performances in our fast-growing local Legacy events. Callum had a great run with UW Yorion Bomberman, Marius split the finals with his unique take on Painter, and Julian placed third after almost losing to Food Reanimator. Sparked by a discussion on our Discord, we then look into what people mean when they talk...

It’s common knowledge among podcasters that while a lot of your time & energy is focussed on producing content, every once in a while you have to renew your “Serious Tournament Player” membership. For Julian, his was up this month so he jumped straight into the Legacy Showcase Challenge and took it down. Easy as that, right? It helps when you have a BIG FLYING DRAGON or three on your side! Join us for this episode in which we not only recap all 11 rounds of the Showcase, but also focus on the exact style on UWr Saga Julian registered in the ev...

Legacy is EVOLVING! Ever since Modern Horizon 2 put the formats on its head once again, with Monkeys, Dragons and Constructs running the tables, players have started adapting to this new madness that is our format now. Callum & Julian look into three of the most interesting decks to pop up/back into the format: Marcus Ewaldh almost goes all the way with HIGH TIDE, an ACTUAL AFFINITY deck, and Anuraag fully embraces the degeneracy that is Neo Czech Pile! Oh, and in the end, Yorion Death & Taxes wins again. This is getting spooky, but Callum has a theory about why it...

Birthday-Brit Callum and Julian tackle a bunch of listener questions about the current state of Legacy. What's going on with UR Delver, Bant Miracles and Death & Taxes, and why THIS ONE WEIRD trick deck is probably severely underplayed. Julian also tries to explain the Magic Online Championship Series structure and fails horribly at it. Enter Callum and the key to unlock $70,000 by playing (mostly) Legacy. In the second half of the show we cover the results of the super high stakes Legacy Showcase Qualifier from the weekend, as well as the results of the last couple of Legacy Challenges. Find...

None other than the German-Japanese Legacy globetrotter Kai Sawatari is rejoining the cast tonight! Following many years of great success on the European circuit, Kai relocated to his native Japan a couple of years ago to follow his passions. Inspired by a guest appearance on Everyday Eternal in January of this year, Kai recently set up his own stream and has been taking Legacy by storm...or rather Doomsday! On top of being a distinguished crafter of 5-card decks, Kai has also made a name for himself for his card alterations which often feature prominently during his broadcast. Tune in...

Callum, Matt and Julian come together to discuss the results of Legacy Challenges, with a deeper dive into how to play the UWr Monkey Saga that took Julian to a runner-up finish. We also dig up the spiciest new tech and decks from those events, including Alphablade's TIMELESS DRAGON Control!
