Episode 284 - Outlaws of Thunder Junction Hype Preview
Yeehaw... This week we look at Outlaws of Thunder Junction.
So saddle on up and hear us spin yarns about tales from out yonder. What cards do we think are prices well? Which are priced poorly? What's a "case" and how do we solve it, or do they even matter? What's a mole god? -
Episode 283 - Murders at Karlov Manor Set Review
With Outlaws of Thunder Junction set to release shortly, we look back at our Murders at Karlov Manor card assessment to see how discerning an eye we cast at the set.
It feels like we just did this... -
Episode 282 - Identifying Trusted Vendors
Usually we discuss how to protect yourself while speccing and in the past have discussed protecting your physical assets but we have no talked about how we, personally, identify vendors we like working with.
Until now.
We breakdown not just some of the vendors that we continue to shop with or at, either on their dedicated sites or on various market places but the "why" behind that as well.
If you've ever been curious about why we shop where we do, why we recommend the companies and people we do, or how to help identify these people yourself... this episode is for you. -
Episode 281 - Is WotC Running Out of Reprint Equity?
That's a big question but an important one.
An idea born out of an older Reddit thread (link below), we decided to take a look at what WotC has left in the tank for chase reprints in supplemental sets. What does the current reprint philosphy offer? What cards can even be reprinted to get people motivated to buy into supplemental packs?
And seemingly, most importantly, how often can we expect to see these cards because they lose their luster.

Episode 280 - Fallout Set Discussion
Stepping outside our normal procedure of, "skip the supplemental analysis" we found a desire to discuss the Fallout product. There were a number of interesting and likeable things we saw within the set as well as some details surrounding the product on the whole that we thought were worth the discussion.
Grab a can of Nuka-a-cola and join us as we dive through Fallout (PIP). -
Episode 278 - Earnings Call pt2: The Review
We've covered the numbers, the jargon, and the delviered outlook but now it's time for us to give out actual reviews and thoughgs. Strap in as we discuss our thoughts on not only the earnings report but the future of HAS and WotC.
The 2023Q4 earnings call is rough read. Full of business jargon about writedowns and "goodwill" Hasbro put on paper an over $1 billion dollar loss. Once you cut through that, there are number of important take away, especially surrounding eOne and various licenses.

Customer Reviews
Fun and informative
Great cast! Great specs and a deep dive into MTG finance.
Oozing value
This podcast has so much value between talking about saving money in more than magic cards like shipping and wholesaler licenses plus direct access to question the cast members in patreon discord.
Knowledgeable and entertaining
These guys are pretty knowledgeable about MTG finance it seems. I’ll def take some of their spec advice. If I had some notes, I’d say stick to finance and don’t go too hard on the meta; we have PLENTY of podcast s on that topic. Also, please stop the typing. It’s very distracting when listening as a podcast. All told a very good MTG listen! Hope to hear more!
