Episode 605 – Beware the Thumbles!

By The Mana Pool | Published November 15, 2020 Comments Off

The dorks are starting off by explaining what’s up with new Akroma’s art. It turns out she’s got prosthetic legs, which is not something we knew about, so that’s actually really cool! From there we head into the Card Image Gallery, bouncing around and talking about whatever cards catch our eyes. Yes we hit the Lotus this episode. No we weren’t terribly impressed.

But Thumbles is (are?) clearly the best thing (things?) to come out of this episode.

After accidentally not doing a show for longer than anticipated, the dorks are back to FINALLY take a look at Commander Legends! We’re just bouncing around the Card Image Gallery and enjoying all the weird new stuff! And if we missed a card you wanted us to talk about (and I KNOW we did) don’t worry, we’re gonna come back to this set next week!

Episode 603 – The Borderline Mythics of Apocalypse

By The Mana Pool | Published October 12, 2020 Leave a comment

The dorks are back! And this time we’re doing a Mythic Conscription for the final set of the Invasion block, Apocalypse. Apocalypse was a neat set full of all kinds of awesome cards, but how many of them could have been mythic? Weirdly enough, this is one of the hardest sets we’ve had to do just because so many of these cards are really good and solid rares, but not many seem to climb up into Mythic territory.

Stick around for the final thoughts, where we have black hole questions, Genshin Impact, Final Fantasy 8, Kingdom Hearts, Among Us, the upcoming hiatus of Monday Night Magic, and the Dresden Files TV show.

Hey look, the dorks return with even more Zendikar Rising stuff! We’re looking through the Card Image Gallery and talking about whatever catches our eye whether it’s a returning legendary creature, a bizarre faceless elemental thing, a lizard made out of vines, or a CLEARLY PSYCHOTIC MINOTAUR MOOSE THING OH GOD RUN!

The dorks are back with Zendikar Rising previews! Apparently the preview season for this set was extra short, because the full Card Image Gallery is up! In this episode we’re going through the mythics and whatever else looks good to us. Yes this does include the adorable jerboa that will, in fact, lead us all to glory.
