Hour Of Devastation Podcast

Well, turns out that cat really is a nightmare. WotC have finally announced that they will announce its demise. We discuss whether that's enough.

It'll never happen but we imagine what it would be like if WotC asked us to assign an intellectual property to Magic or design new Secret Lairs. Some of them are cool. Some of them are just wild.

After an extended period of saying "well, this seems a bit too good", we decide to look back on of the most broken times in Magic's history to find some 'good ones'. 2019 (and the beginning of 2020) had its problems in Magic but there were certainly some great and balanced designs to be found.

R.I.P. Magic: the Gathering, 2020-2020 Have they finally killed our beloved game? Well, this time, maybe yes. We discuss just how much of an oversight the Companion mechanic and Ikoria in general seems to have been. Strap in for some truly hot takes.

We finally know everything about Ikoria and, boy, is there a lot going. We evaluate how 'Mythic' the Mythic Rares in this set actually feel and also take a look at some of the more exciting cards from the set.

We enjoyed whinging about White so much, we're back to whinge about Green. Why does it get to do all the things it does? Why is it so good? Why do they keep doing this to us? WHY? Also, we take a quick look at the recent Pioneer results and DEFINITELY TALK ABOUT LOTUS BREACH.

It's no secret that White is Magic's weakest colour. We try to work out why, maybe suggest some improvements and just have a good whinge about it.
