The dorks dive once more into the Throne of Eldraine previews! We've got plenty of cycles to finish - hybrid cards, lands, uncommon knights, legendary creatures and artifacts, lots of stuff! While we're at it we're bouncing around and hitting whatever other good stuff we can find, whether it's super flavorful, an obvious fairy tale reference, or blatantly powerful. We'll even hit that one blue mythic (yeah, you know the one) and discuss reasons it could be mythic and just how powerful it really could be.

The dorks are back to discuss even more Throne of Eldraine cards! You like fairy tales? What about knights? What about fairy tales...with knights? What about flavorful cards? Or billy goats? Big bad wolf? Excalibur? Trolls? The Questing Beast? The way every fairy tale begins? Randomly suplexing bears? Is any of this sounding good yet?

...what if I offered you a Bog Naughty?

We've got Adventures, we've got Food, we've got Knights, we've got Brawl legendaries...there's a lot going on here. And all of it looks neat! So join the dorks as we discuss the cards, the flavor, and the art of a bunch of the Eldraine set!

We're doing another edition of There's No Plane Like Home, where we take a look at one of the many planes of the Magic multiverse and try to figure out if we'd actually mind living there. This time we're focusing on the home of both Chandra Nalaar and the Inventors' Fair. So fire up the aether harvester, hop in your filigreed race car, and decorate some giants - we're going to Kaladesh!
