  • Much more than a 7/10

    Despite any claims they like to make, these guys are the best that magic podcasting has to offer. They’ve got excellent insight into commander as a format, shaping the game we play to be how we want to play it, and all of this while being hilarious. I highly, highly recommend.

  • Excellent banter between the team

    Stumbled onto this podcast via the F2F site. Immediately devoured multiple episodes as listening to the way the team interacts with each other made each episode fly by. Too many podcasts feel as though the hosts are simply reading bullet points off paper, but the way these two deliver their opinions has a very natural flow to it.

    Definitely going to be diving further into the back catalog and listen to some more episodes. Hopefully one day you make it to a F2F Tour Stop in Toronto and I can pic... more

  • Sell outs

    Just run adds to make a dollar. Close to unsubscribing as a long time listener cause y’all want the crowd to pay for your trip, and drinking problems but then also want the listeners to pay to play with you and attend the fest?

  • 25 year player, I ejaculated

    Opened a true miscut, green on the top mana drain foil from OG commander legends. I’ve opened up to thousand dollar cards but that was theeeeeeeee best in maybe my life. Started as a literal sidewalk player in mid 90s cause I can’t actually remember.
