  • Constant and obnoxious ads

    I used to adore this show, following for several years. Used to be as good as Tusk Talk or LaL.

    Now they’ve way overleveraged their advertising time and have become unlistenable. An embarrassing degradation of listener trust. I would them to look up ‘ensh!ttification’ but I assume they already own a mirror.

  • Ads interrupted by podcast

    Podcast would be fine if it wasn’t interrupted every 5 minutes with ads. Show quickly feels like 25 minutes of content awkwardly broken up with 25 minutes of ads.

  • the ads tho…

    I feel viscerally violated by the frequency and timing of the ads…it’s hard to even focus on the podcast topic due to the jarring interjections that are nothing but inane expressions of consumerism. Bordering on dystopian.

  • Fall from grace

    I used to adore this show, following for several years. Used to be as good as Tusk Talk or LaL.

    Now they’ve way overleveraged their advertising time and is the single most ad-stuffed podcast I listen to, even counting non-mtg.

    It’s pretty unpleasant now. Used to

    Be wonderful.

  • This podcast got me into Legacy

    Knowledgeable hosts. Dope raps. These guys are rad. I listened to every episode for years even though playing Legacy seemed out of reach for me. Highly entertaining and insightful advice that will make you a better Magic player no matter what formats you play. After hearing how diverse Legacy is currently and how rough Modern was during the Scam days I made the switch. I love Legacy more than anything else in MTG. Thanks for creating this amazing content!
