    Mental Discipline 10 - Stuck on land and out of control

    In this week's episode, we sat down after a post-tournament pizza party and talked all sorts of Standard, Modern and milling. Matt's setting aside the 2/1's for 1 for some Esper control action. Dustin tries a wacky Chord of Calling deck trying to pay tribute to his beloved Birthing Pod. And James is playing Quickling again.   Our meta-topic this week is a fun one as we talk about milling and its appeal. We also get on the topic of Treasure Cruise because of course we do. We wrap up with required consumption and all sorts of shameless promotion. We also have a bit of a video announcement to make.   Required consumption links:   Dustin: blog.magicworldmarket.com/blog   Matt: http://www.amazon.com/Quest-Pro-Tour-Jamie-Wakefield-ebook/dp/B002B3XZ2O/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1416301506&sr=8-6&keywords=quest+for+the+pro+tour   James: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkEV5sjLyrQ   You can find Matt, James and Dustin on Twitter @mattmendoza, @mellishkimoMTG, and @dustinseth respectively.

    Mental Discipline 8 - #Bestowlo

    James is woefully absent in this week's episode, so Dustin and Matt try to pick up the slack. They're not as good at bad puns, but they're good at stretching a timeline. This week, on the heels of Grand Prix Los Angeles, it's all Standard all the time.    Dustin's required consumption is The Third Power podcast, a podcast about Cubing from Usman Jamil and Anthony Avitollo. You can find it every other week at mtgcast.com.   Matt's required viewing happens Saturday and Sunday when he streams Eternal Champions live from Philadelphia, PA. Tune in to twitch.tv/cardtitan!   You can find Matt, James and Dustin on Twitter @mattmendoza, @mellishkimoMTG, and @dustinseth respectively.

    Across the Table 37 - Foretold, Rise of a God from GenCon

    Welcome to the new Across the Table. I'm switching up the format! Instead of a one-on-one conversation with a specific person, I'm moving towards a broader format where I can bring to your ears cool people and things I encounter in the gaming world. What does that mean? Well, for my first new interview, allow me to introduce Steve Port and Jay Semerad, publisher and designer of the new game Foretold, Rise of a God. We met at GenCon to talk about what it was like bringing the game to market. I'm proud to present Across the Table 37 - Foretold, Rise of a God from GenCon. I hope you enjoy the new format. I'm excited about it and the new freedom it will give me to bring you a healthy variety of content. Let me know what you think! You can find me on Twitter @mattmendoza or 5 Color Media on any relevant social media platform. Send any longform feedback to 5colormedia@gmail.com and please leave me reviews on iTunes. Thanks for listening!
