Freshly Brewed: An MTG Podcast

This week Rob and I try our hands at designed four separate custom Magic cards based on Marvel Comic characters: Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, and Captain America's Shield. Be sure to find us on Twitter or Facebook and let us know what you think of the designs, if you like this exercise, and who you'd like to see us tackle next!

Here we are...again, talking about three more Standard cards that have been banned. Get the low down on our thoughts about the latest rounds of Standard and Historic updates this week!

This week we talk about the most recent Standard banning of Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, and why it's kind of a joke. We also discuss how the Standard format has gotten itself into the mess it has in the past few years.

Zendikar Rising previews are flooding out the gate. This week we talk about some of our favorites, and why we think this set has some of the best mechanics ever printed to mitigate variance.

This week we discuss all things Historic, including the upcoming banning that has been announced for next week, a ton of brews we've been playing, and some of the cards that might not belong in the format.

Wow. Another week, ANOTHER round of bannings. Will they ever stop? Four more cards banned in Standard bring the total up to a record breaking 10 cards. Let's discuss those, along with the bannings in Pioneer and Historic.

This week we talk about lots of set-related things! We talk about the Set Boosters that are being released with Zendikar Rising, we talk about Double Masters, and we talk about some of our favorite cards and new art present in the set.

With new bannings seemingly every week, this week we talk about the latest round of them that affected four formats: Historic, Pioneer, Modern, and Pauper. 

This week we each pick five cards from M21 to answer five questions: 1) what card do we see as a possible organized play mistake, 2) what is a pet card of ours, 3) what card did we expect more from, 4) what card do we think will shine soon that hasn't yet, and 5) what card do we want to brew with next!

This week Rob and I continue our M21 set review, including all the red, green, gold, and colorless cards in the set. Below is a list of the cards we're fond of,  that we believe will see some amount of play. Red Bolt Hound Brash Taunter Chandra, Heart of Fire Chandra's Incinerator Chandra's Pyreling Conspicuous Snoop Heartfire Immolator Kinetic Auger Scorching Dragonfire Soul Sear Terror of the Peaks Thrill of Possibility Transmogrify Green Azusa, Lost but Seeking Elder Gargaroth Fungal Rebirth Garruk's Harbinger Garruk's Uprising Life Goes On Llanowar Visionary Primal Might Quirion Dryad Ranger's Guile Return to Nature Run Afoul Scavenging Ooze Thrashing Brontodon Track Down Gold Conclave Mentor Experimental Overload Indulging Patrician Niambi, Esteemed Speaker Radha, Heart if Keld Watcher of the Spheres Colorless Ugin, the Spirit Dragon Solemn Simulacrum Sparkhunter masticore Land Animal Sanctuary Fabled Passage Radiant Fountain All Five Temples

This week we  start our M21 set review, including all the white, blue, and black cards in the set. Below is a list of the cards we're fond of, that we believe will see some amount of play. White Angelic Ascension Baneslayer Angel Basri Ket Basri's Lieutenant Containment Priest Faith's Fetters Griffin Aerie Nine Lives Pack Leader Revitalize Runed Halo Seasoned Hallowblade Selfless Savior Speaker of the Heavens Vryn Wingmare Blue Barrin, Tolarian Archmage Discontinuity Enthralled Hold Frantic Inventory Ghostly Pilferer Lofty Denial Miscast Opt Rain of Revelation Rewind Riddleform See the Truth Stormwing Entity Sublime Epiphany Teferi, Master of Time Teferi's Ageless Insight Teferi's Tutelage Unsubstantiate Waker of Waves Black Archfiend's Vessel Demonic Embrace Duress Eliminate Grasp of Darkness Grim Tutor Hooded Blightfang Kaervek, the Spiteful Kitesail Freebooter Liliana, Waker of the Dead Liliana's Devotee Massacre Wurm Necromentia Peer into the Abyss Silversmote Ghoul Village Rites Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose Witch's Cauldron

This week we talk about what Jumpstart even is (we still may not know), along with what can possibly be done about a Standard format that never seems to improve.

M21 previews have officially begun, and this week Rob and Frank go over some of their favorites. With brand new planeswalkers, spicy reprints, and format staples, inside you'll get both of their opinions on some of the hottest revealed cards.

This week Rob and I resurrect the popular Freshly Brewed podcast to talk about companions, and bannings, and what has been going on in Standard. Did banning Fires of Invention and Agent of Treachery fix the format, or were they merely banned-aids?
