In this week's episode, we sat down after a post-tournament pizza party and talked all sorts of Standard, Modern and milling. Matt's setting aside the 2/1's for 1 for some Esper control action. Dustin tries a wacky Chord of Calling deck trying to pay tribute to his beloved Birthing Pod. And James is playing Quickling again.

Our meta-topic this week is a fun one as we talk about milling and its appeal. We also get on the topic of Treasure Cruise because of course we do. We wrap up with required consumption and all sorts of shameless promotion. We also have a bit of a video announcement to make.

James is woefully absent in this week's episode, so Dustin and Matt try to pick up the slack. They're not as good at bad puns, but they're good at stretching a timeline. This week, on the heels of Grand Prix Los Angeles, it's all Standard all the time. 

Dustin's required consumption is The Third Power podcast, a podcast about Cubing from Usman Jamil and Anthony Avitollo. You can find it every other week at mtgcast.com.

Matt's required viewing happens Saturday and Sunday when he streams Eternal Champions live from Philadelphia, PA. Tune in to twitch.tv/cardtitan!

In this week’s episode, Dustin talks about his experience in the new Standard. James talks about his observations while watching the new Mdern and Legacy. And Matt talks about his experience with his newly updated Cube. It’s new, everybody! Our metatopic this week is taken over by a Q&A section wherein Matt talks about being a fly on the wall. And, finally, we discuss our required consumption.

James and Dustin share their M15, Modern, and Standard experiences while Matt talks a bit about the one Cube draft he did the one time. Then the boys talk about the week's metatopic, flipping the switch. They round off with a trifecta or required reading, viewing, and...listening.

This one's a Monstr-ous Carabid of a podcast as James and Dustin regail us with their tournament exploits. I accomplish nothing of note whie Dustin Top 8's an IQ and James tightens up his play on his way to the TCGPlayer.com Modern State Championship trophy. As a bonus, Dustin talks about his cousin's success with a Standard BasicMountain.dec that is both uninspired and formidable. Along the way we discuss salt and sugar, premier preperation, having fun, and our first submissions for required viewing. And, if it wasn't clear already, James is just a better person than Dustin and myself.
