    Cards We Were Wrong About | 744

    When sets come out, we do our best to predict precisely how good and/or powerful each new card will be. Unfortunately, card evaluation is hard and sometimes we get it WRONG. This episode, we’re looking back at all the cards we underestimated, overestimated, or just missed altogether. Through this process of analyzing our past analysis, we can (hopefully) get better at evaluating cards in the future.

    MTG in 2025 - Year in Review | 719

    2025: the year where Magic finally let you equip Doc Ock with Summon Materia so he could hop in a racecar and fly into outer space to fend off an attack from the Fire Nation. It’s been a crazy year. But now it’s time to look back over the cards, events, controversies, and changes from the last 365 days of MTG that made this one of the biggest (but also most polarizing) years in the game’s history. Jimmy, JLK and Rachel discuss everything that made 2025 one to remember: the goods and bads, the highs and lows, what worked, what didn’t, and what we hope to see in years to come.  -------- SUPPORT OUR PATREON: Support the show and become a Patron!
