Skullcraic

This episode is David's account of his disqualification from the World Magic Cup.

On this week's Skullcraic, we talk a little bit about harassment and bullying in the Magic community in light of recent events. For a fantastic rundown and a great message, check out The Professor's video on the topic. After that, David gives an overview of his prep for the World Magic Cup, and the experience of being on a team for the first time. Our tournament report this week is Legacy (with a cameo from Pauper), and our Deck of the Week is also Legacy: Ciarán's Punishing Maverick list from this week's Legacy Challenge!

On this week's edition of Skullcraic, we're talking even more Unstable Mechanics, new Rivals of Ixalan cards, and our anticipation of the beginning of closed Beta for MTG:Arena. All of the hosts travelled to a PPTQ this weekend, so we report on how we fared, and our Deck of the Week is Legacy Grixis Delver, which Alan played to a semifinals finish at a local Legacy event!

This week, we're talking about the triple Grand Prix weekend and the composition of the Top 8s across the globe! (hint: there's a lot of energy) We give a little time to Unstable but we don't go over too many cards in detail, just in case people don't want to be spoiled! We give our Standard Tournament Report and of course our Deck of the Week: Ben Stark's Desert Red!

This week on Skullcraic, we start things off with Bust-a-Booster ™, our hunt for the most likely last-picked card from a booster pack! We discuss the full reveal of the cards included in From the Vault: Arguel's Blood Fast, and then dig into all the news from Pro Tour Ixalan, from DQs to the winning list and the strangely punt-filled Top 8!

It's the end of Spooktober, so we've got a ghastly cast filled with frights and stuffed with spooks! But there's also plenty of real Magic news, with the announcement of changes to the way Grand Prix will cut to day two, as well as plenty of new promo cards for us to salivate over, including some early reveals of Rivals of Ixalan cards! We also mentioned TheMagicManSam's latest documentary: The Boogeyman (spooky!). If you're listening with kids, it might be a good idea not to let them hear the spooky story after the outro!

This week we're talking about the results of Eternal Weekend, as well as the results of the latest StarCityGames Modern and Standard tournaments. The bulk of our time this week though, is taken up with our report of our local Store Invitational in Gamer's World Dublin. Our Deck of the Week is David's deck from that event: B/R Artifact aggro.

This week on the podcast, one of us is going to the Magic World Cup! We take a deep dive on our Nationals Tournament Report, plus we quickly go over the latest B&R announcement, and some of the discussion on WotC not publishing enough MTGO data to keep things competitive, while simultaneously giving some pros access to data that the rest of us don't have. We also touch on the Nationals results from the US and Brazil. Stay tuned after the outro for a special edition of extra turns where Alan interviews David just after his Nationals finals finish!

This week, we're talking about insignificant aesthetic changes, not-so-insignificant rules changes, and about how insanely good at Magic William 'Huey' Jensen is!

On this week's episode, we're talking about policy changes, the end of Windmill Slam, ridiculous Legacy pirate decks, and the results of the first big Ixalan Standard tournament: SCG Dallas Ft. Worth. Also, there's this: John Avon Playmat Kickstarter! We have a quick tournament report and or Deck of the Week is the breakout deck of the weekend: Sultai Energy!

In this week's edition of Skullcraic, we're talking about the potential of codes in packs, our first impressions of the Ixalan limited format, as well as our predictions and expectations for the upcoming Standard! We have a lot of limited tournaments to report, and our Deck of the Week: Ramunap "everything old is new again" Red!

This week, we're talking about double-faced Ixalan cards, as well as Dino-sized drafts and the Weatherlight (possibly, probably not) on Ixalan in the Magic Story! We have a modern PPTQ to report, and our deck of the week is: multiple Ixalan brews!

On the podcast this week, we're talking about all the exciting new Ixalan cards that have been previewed, as well as the old-school-style, all-at-once spoiling of Iconic Masters at Hascon! We also had the announcement and demo of MTG: Arena, the newest digital representation of Magic! David gives a Modern tournament report and we discuss our deck of the week: 4C Energy, as played by Japanese National Champion Kenta Harane! (p.s. I saw his hand with Vendilion Clique)

This week, we've got plenty of new Ixalan previews to talk about, as well as the results from Grand Prix Turin and Grand Prix Washington DC! We report some modern shenanigans and some unlikely standard success stories, and our deck of the week is the winning deck from Turin: U/B Control! Also, stay tuned after the outro for some Triassic Trivia!

This week, Ixalan preview season has officially begun! Wizards confirmed the leak from a couple months ago, and previewed every card that was legible from it, including making a statement on the legal proceedings that have followed. There's a new Jace, and he comes along with a total change in the way planeswalkers are handled in the game! There was also a B&R announcement, with some changes to legacy. We give our tournament report, and our deck of the week this week is full of arcane tomfoolery!

This week, Brad Nelson, BBD and Corey Baumeister have been tearing it up at the top tables with the triumphant resurgence of Temur Energy, which also happens to be our Deck of the Week! We run down all the metagame shifts that GP Denver brought, and dig into the sealed format with a sealed PPTQ report from Al. Plus all the locust facts you could ever possibly want. Ever.

This week we take a look at the final Commander 2017 previews, give a much-anticipated roundup about the Irish WMC team captaincy race, and get into the weeds about the Modern and Standard metagames! We have some tournaments to report from, and our deck of the week: Sultai Reanimator!

It is Commander 2017 preview season! We discuss the announcement (and only the announcement...) of MTG: Arena. A bunch of the new commander cards have been previewed already, so we give our hot takes on the ones that jump out to us. We've all been doing a lot of non-Magic stuff recently so we talk a little bit about our real-life adventures, and then we give a Game Day Tournament Report, and our Deck of the Week: U/W Approach!

Good news everyone! Mono-Red is back, and it's better than ever! This week we discuss all the high highs and low lows of Pro Tour Hour of Devastation. We also touch on the HasCon promo cards which were revealed this week, give a Modern PPTQ Tournament Report, and our Deck of the Week!

This week, we've got a slight update to the Standard Showdown announcements from last week, and tons of new information from SDCC on Unstable, the new Un-set coming to us this winter. We give you the rundown on our recent foray into modern, and our deck of the week is a blast from the past(aka about a year ago): U/R Prowess!
