    Ep.160 Avatar the Last Air Bender MTG

    Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and turned over 50% of all Magic into Universes Beyond...or something. Andy and Nathan take a look at Avatar the last Air Bender as it's depicted in MTG. Is this set's apparent step up in quality against other UB sets be enough to quell the grumbles of Magic purists or will the cycle of cynicism continue?

    Ep.159 The Unique Fauna Of Lorwyn

    The Eclipse is fast approaching, so before we travel back to the equally quaint and cruel Plane of Lorwyn, we need to refamiliarize ourselves with a fantasy setting that is all at once a deeply complex and wonderfully simple. Andy and Nathan dive into why a Boggart isn't a Hobgoblin and the surprising origins of Kithkin. Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.

    Ep.158 The Multiversal Menu: Second Helping

    We return to the Restaurant at the end of the Multiverse to sample the delicacies from across the Blind Eternities (and also The Edge). The kitchen has had four years to add fresh dishes to the Menu so join Andy and Nathan as they make their orders and discover how magic's writers and designers have tackled culinary differences on each new Plane.  Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.

    Ep.157 Spider-Man: Multiversal Menace

    Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man...swinging directly into standard and there's not a thing you can do about it. Andy and Nathan discuss Magic's latest and boldest Universes Beyond set and whilst there is some interesting flavour to be found, are we now finding the limit to what Magic players will stomach when it comes to IP crossover?

    Ep.156 Robots In Magic

    What is a Robot? Why is a Robot? Where are all the Robots in Magic? With the main set advent of the new creature type in Edge Of Eternities, Andy and Nathan look back across MTG's history to determine what implications have arisen and what other Automatons can be found in the lore.  Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.

    Ep.155 Edge Of Eternities Story Review

    It's big, it's so, incredibly big. And we ain't talking about the vastness of space. 11 whole story episodes for Edge of Eternities and each one is half a novella in it's own right! So much world building for Andy and Nathan to explore, and an epic Sci-Fi-Fantasy to dive into.  (The room this episode was recorded in was not fit for purpose, apologies for the sound quality)  Story Articles: https://magic.wizards.com/en/story Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.

    Ep.154 Edge Of Eternities: A New Frontier

    Edge of Eternities heralds a new era for MTG as the main continuity setting introduces The Edge! No longer confined to the endless vastness of the Multiverse, we can now explore the galaxies that make up the reality beyond the Chaos Wall. Andy and Nathan discuss how this new setting fits into the larger Magic context and what we can find on our trek through the stars... Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.

    Ep.153 Colour Changing Planeswalkers

    Edge Of Eternities is coming soon to the MTG scene and heralding its arrival is a 3 Mana Value Tezzeret card, that has no coloured pips!?! What does this mean for the character and when have other Planeswalkers shifted their colour identity? And why? Andy and Nathan get into all these questions, and more.  Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.
