We made it to episode 100!
We got there folks! Cantrip Cartel celebrates their 100th episode by answering some questions from the fans and talking about the future of the podcast. I'm going to spoil the announcement here for people that do not want to listen to a magic free episode. Cantrip Cartel is no longer going to...
-
Send us your questions!
Its episode 99 and the legacy and modern metas are chugging along. Both formats have settled down into some pretty consistent decks. It seems like with a rotation of about 15 or so decks in the top 8 spots and both formats having a pretty clear meta share kingpin this week followed the trend....
-
98 bottles of bear on the wall!
It is hard to believe that we have ade 98 of these! We continue to roll up on episode 100 and this week we have a few more challenges with some interesting top 8 results. We get to see dredge, maverick, 8 key and hardened scales across both challenges. With decks like that in the top 8 the event...
-
Maybe Tarkov isn't that bad
Another week is in the books! Legacy was a decent challenge this week. Tempo of one kind or another was pretty prevalent in the legacy challenge. Modern saw some real innovation in regards to the Omnath piles. All told the challenges looked pretty good! Legacy Challenge -...
-
We are trying our hardest
Matt and Jake are working to resolve technical difficulties and actually get an episode out this week. Even though the Legacy metagame is still kinda revolving around bowmasters the top 8s continue to be fairly diverse. Modern was pretty narrow all things said but that is pretty common for a high...
-
Some diversity returns!
Matt and Jake are pleasantly surprised by the diverse top 8 in the weekly legacy challenge. While bowmasters still has a pretty high meta share the top 8 was full of interesting and different decks. Modern doesnt have too much interesting beyond a relative lack of scam in the challenge results.…

Creeping up on episode 100!
A bit shorter this week as Jake is suffering from a little burnout. He hast been working too much or anything, it's just the midwest is literally a frying pan right now. That being said in the Legacy showcase challenge thai week Blue Black CLEANED UP! In modern we even get to see a 5 color humans...
-
Kind of the opposite of a Ban Announcement
Well that was not what we expected for the yearly ban and restricted announcement. With both modern and legacy have abhorrent numbers when it comes to both meta shares and single card play rates our WOTC overlords decided to ignore all that and unban some cool cards. Legacy gets to high tide into...
-
Buffalo Chicken Dip recap with Chris!
We have a special guest! Chris ran all the way to top 4 in the Buffalo Chicken Dip event! Our exclusive interview covers his deck choice and a tournament recap! While we didnt spend as much time on the Legacy metagame we take a decent look at the result from the Modern Pro Tour. Legacy showcase...
-
Bows, ya know
Delver is back on top in legacy, at least this week and let’s be honest it's all thanks to bowmasters. Orcish Bowmaster is in more decks than ponder and brainstorm! That is insane. Modern has a bonkers deck in first this week and we prepare for the pro tour and we even get to see some of the 14...
-
Day late and an hour short
The world of plumbing absolutely refused to work with the world of podcasting. That being said the Modern and Legacy meta really seem to be just dominated with LOTR cards so in minor protest the guys spend an extra amount of time on the precast chat. Let us know how you feel about it! Legacy...
-
Legacy must bow to the master
Wow, legacy and modern have a lot of LOTR cards in them. Matt and Jake go deep into some of them during legacy. Bowmasters kind of owns legacy while Modern is really struggling to handle the one ring. Will the meta settle itself out? Is LOTR here to keep making waves in the formats? Will the...
-
You have my sword! and my ax! and my orcish Bowmasters!
It happened twice in a row that Cantrip Cartel was recorded and released on time, no one can stop us now! Legacy looks pretty good as far as 8 different decks in the top 8. It was actually pretty interesting to see quite a few LOTR cards make it into the top 8 of legacy. We have our eye on orcish...
-
Jake Finally Finished Brotherhood
Bear with us with some rougher than normal audio. Matt and Jake are trying to break in a new to them computer for recording and there are some growing pains. There are, however, no growing pains in either modern or legacy. Both formats are looking excellent and there are no complaints from the...
-
Matt Walks Away From Dark Souls
Super sorry everyone, Jake literally forgot that Thursday was Thursday and did not prioritize recording. The guys were able to get it recorded but not till Friday evening. Legacy is looking a little rough this week in the top but the metagame is still looking pretty Good. Modern looks pretty good...
-
Can't touch this (in modern)
After many prayers to Microphone gods that control their lives Matt and Jake have gotten a new episode out. Legacy continues to be pretty good looking even in a super qualifier. Modern was pretty rotten in the top 8 this week with hammer time players discovering surge of salvation. Thanks to...
-
Cantrip Cartel Bingo?
We take a week off and miss a SHOWCASE for legacy. To make up for the lost week Matt and Jake go long on legacy. It is just so much fun to talk about. Legacy is still in an excellent spot. Modern is still modern but not in a bad way. The Modern meta has an appropriate amount of churn seems to be…

Anything goes in legacy
Guys legacy is just awesome. The meta is so open people are getting top 8 spots with all kinds of weird cards in their deck. Modern Looked pretty good this week as far as diversity goes. Heads up there will be no episodes next week so the guys can take a breather. Legacy Challenge -...

"It's about Magic" - Sarah
Matt and Jake really don’t know what to do with Legacy being this good this long. Every week we see another deck pop out of nowhere. Plenty of traditionally tier 2, tier 3, or tier 4 decks showing up. Modern is holding itself in a decent place although it is about rock, paper, and scissors this...
-
Doomed I tell you! DOOMED(day)
Everyone, legacy looks amazing again! It is the wild wild west out there. The police of the format have stepped away and it’s a party. It is beginning to look like most decks are playable and real contenders in the new meta. Now we are sure it will settle out to something more consistent but for...
-
Don't Phoenix Me Bro
Matt and Jake are living the high life with the legacy format. It is a genuine pleasure to get to see Arclight Phoenix in the top 8 of a challenge and some genuine diversity. Modern, on the other hand, needs to get its shit together. Probably the most laughable top 8s we have seen in modern for a...
-
Thank you WOTC
Holy meta batman! Legacy is looking great right now. Delver pops up here and there on a week to week to basis but all kinds of stuff is playable. Realistically there is alot of initiative ish in the top 8 but it was completely absent last week so it's a win. Thank you WOTC for the bans. Modern...

Making up for lost time
What timeline are we in where stiflenaught and tarmagoyf managed to find spots in the top 8 of a legacy showcase qualifier? Matt and Jake have a fun time talking about legacy, modern, warhammer, and life this week. Legacy Showcase Challenge -...

"Tarmogoyf is unplayable" - Jake 2022
So the recording software this week shit the bed and after a lot of work the episode is passabel. There is a decent bit of echo in the episode and I tried to get it to sync up the best I could. Legacy is back to delver, although it is a RUG variant in the top spot and UR murktide took a poopoo on...
-
Can initiative even survive a White Plume Adventurer ban?
Im not gonna lie to you, Matt and Jake spent ALOT of time talking about legacy this week. With the bannings last week this event had some very interesting decks in the top 8 and there was some in depth discussion on some cards that probably didn't warrant it. Modern definitely didn't have…
