Skullcraic

This week, we're catching up with the latest Announcements as well as going over a few of our favourite spoilers from Battlebond. We touch on our feelings about the different formats in Magic at the moment, and our Deck of the Week is the best of both worlds, a Vintage deck with some powerful Standard cards! Stay tuned after the outro for coverage of the actual best Magic format!

We're back from a brief hiatus, and we're talking all Standard, all the time (well, we actually talk about Legacy a bit too)! We go over our experiences at Grand Prix Birmingham, leading into metagame shifts and another glorious PPTQ win for Al! Our Deck of the Week is the deck that has taken the metagame by storm: the controlling, mirror-beating B/R Vehicles!

This week on Skullcraic we're talking a little about the wonderful new dual lands that Battlebond will soon be bringing to us, and then we're going deep on the first couple of weeks of the new Standard meta, in preparation for trip to Grand Prix Birmingham this coming weekend! No Tournament Report this week as we're saving ourselves for this weekend! Our Deck of the Week of the week marches on though, it's a new twist on an old favourite: W/B Vehicles!

We give a Legacy tournament report, and our Deck of the Week is also a Legacy deck, with plenty of input from the BasicMountain himself, Patrick Sullivan.

This week, we kick things off with a discussion of the officially revealed cards of Dominaria! We go on to an absolutely epic tournament report featuring a win for one of the Skullcraic team, and after the outro we give you a taste of our card design chops!
