Hat Trick! Random Hats with Random Legends
Coming off fedoras on Faerie Detectives and Stetsons on Homarids, Redbay cooked up a "hats for legends" generator! He and MonoWhiteBorder grab some hats, put them on some fan favorites, and do some live design.

All About Eldrazi
Modern Horizons 3 is bringing back the broods and titans, so it's time to venture back into the Blind Eternities! The Eldrazi are a super-cool creature type that has gotten some, but not a ton, of exploration over the years. We break down all the lessons learned so far, then dive into some "character pie" between the titans. As a wrap up we try to assign a variety of keywords to different titans. Prepared for your reality to be warped!

Design Crossover - Midnight Suns
Heat up your cauldron and practice your hexes because we're going goth! We're looking at the videogame Midnight Suns and seeing what we can carry back into Magic. This card-based strategy game is by the same studio as the Civilzation and X-Com games, so it's coming from a different starting point. Tim and Peter talk through the gameplay and extrapolate where Magic could take those ideas.

Solar Eclipse Challenge Review
We're taking your submissions one day (and night) at a time! We asked for your common day/nightbound cards and we got a bumper crop! Hitting that common rarity on a double face card is a narrow target, ESPECIALLY for our listeners who love to pack innovation into each card.
