Color Commontary

This week we dig into a white aggro deck that gets its 15 minutes of fame every few months, Cyborgs. Then we intro a new recurring segment, where we talk about the “junior varsity” cards of pauper, the spicy yet not quite there cards. This week it’s Guardian of the Guildpact. The episode is rounded off by a discussion of the small handful of relevant cards from Conspiracy 2: Take the Throne.

This week we recorded a little early so we could interview Alex Ullman of gatheringmagic.com! Sadly the audio on his end got corrupted so we had to work what little magic we could on the audio from our end. It’s not pretty, but we felt the actual discussion was too good to miss. Hopefully in the future we’ll have a cleaner audio recording set up for guests!

This week we’re talking about the elephant in the room, Drake combo decks, which have taken over MTGO.
