Episode 718

Hosts: Paul and AJ

Episode Length: 1h 9m 03s

News:

• One (1) Ring to Fool them all. – Special serialized version of The One Ring to be found as a 1 off in one of 3 million collector packs. As per usual this raised the collective hackles of many players because “cash grab!” but Imho this is the best way to do it. 
• Gandalf is BLUE (and so am I after finding that out, I always remember Tolkien saying another Istari was blue. Radagast is brown in the books, I wonder why that doesn’t make him Red/Green in MTG?) To be fair Gandalf does become WHITE. Speaking of white, the Racists are very upset about “tall, dark …Strider” turning out to be darker than they thought. No mention of his facial hair. His bride’s OK though. And my favorite good ole Tom Bombadil is a GOD!?? Now that irks. Bard at least makes sense. Plus more spoilers.
• AJ talks about Elvish treatment on cards.
• Arena Stuff
• Stuff

Whatcha been playin’:

Paul: Spellslingers again reminding me why I rejected it the first time. Eternal. MWM accidentally 3-1ed the phantom Strix draft with a Golgari mess.

AJ: 2-1 with Obliterator Fight in Standard Tribal, 3-1ed the Strixhaven draft with Simic 8-land threshold shenanigans. Playing a fair amount of Eternal, got a good league pool and have been making the most of it, also dabbling in a little Battletech, finding new and interesting bluescreen crash bugs with mods.
