A new king has been crowned at the Canadian National Championships! Tariq Patel joins us this week to field some tough questions. We cover Uprising limited and some of the fundamental questions around hero selection. We also don’t pull any punches when it comes to analyzing his winning constructed list and the inclusion or exclusion of some spicy cards.

In the wake of Prism being immortalized, we finally have some data thanks to the recent Nationals to start our analysis. We discuss how this emergent metagame is meeting or diverging from our initial expectations. Things are starting to firm up in the environment and we cover how the major decks have changed and try to predict where they might head next.

Podcasts don’t exist without listeners. Listeners don’t exist without questions. It makes sense to take some time to answer as many listener questions as we can. This week our Command and Cookout overtakes the entire episode (unlike previous weeks this was the plan all along). We touch a wide variety of topics including most underrated cards, metagame analysis and reads, tier progression and we even approach the contentious concept of tempo.

It's never easy to say goodbye...but the time has come for our favorite Light Illusionist to depart. We have lots to cover in this shakeup in addition to a discussion of multiple aspects of Lille. Join us to hear about our struggles in deck selection and how we navigated the Lille metagame. Classic constructed is set to change fast now with the departure of prism and you can hear our early thoughts here.

We are officially less than 24 hours from the second Pro Tour in Lille, France! This is a rare chance to hear recent and unfiltered thoughts on the meta before, during and after the Calling: Singapore and how it impacted testing and deck selection. Most of the hard work is done (although at the time of this writing, our hosts still haven’t locked in a full 80 yet). Join us for the journey - and be sure to tune in to coverage as it unfolds this weekend!

As any game grows, it will experience early growing pains. We’d like to unpack a few of our unspoken rules that help us be consistent and deal with a variety of situations with humility and grace. Sometimes having a plan for how to move through tilt quickly, field salty opponents, and find dignity in a well fought loss is the difference between a bad round and a bad day. The easiest way to keep this community special is to model the behavior we expect and celebrate in others!

The ban hammer finally came for itself! We discuss the unscheduled ban of Stubby Hammerers in Classic Constructed. The format was warping around the combo Fai deck and things have opened up with the banning. The philosophy of the ban, what it means for future bans, and how the metagame will recover.
