Today we review every Force of Will art. Therese Nielsen sets an almost unbeatable standard with her Alliances original; can any other piece hope to match it? Join us as we dive deep into the art, weird Balduvians, and the true height of Kefnet in this tangent-laden edition of Clock Spinning.

Lhurgoyfs are a tribe totally unique to Magic, and they have a long and winding history. We’ll begin our journey in the depths of Magic’s Ice Age, and then take you on a weird Odyssey with a cycle of surprisingly competitive bad cards. Then of course we have Tarmo-daddy himself, and his rash of offspring right up through the present day.

Today on Clock Spinning, we look at the art for Birds of Paradise through the ages. From our start in Alpha, through some 2000s message board drama, and some surprisingly adorable Secret Lair drops, the history of BoP art is rich, varied, and full of genuine bangers.

Clock Spinning is going bananas this week by talking about--you guessed it--bananas! In this episode we rate, review, and ban-analyze every card in Magic that has bananas in the art, flavor text, and even oracle text. We had an ape-solute blast putting this one together, and we hope you enjoy it too!

Our card-by-card review of Betrayers of Kamigawa (with an eye, as always, toward building a Kamigawa cube) continues into blue. Today’s episode may best be summarized with one word: ninjas. Okay, there’s a bit more to Betrayers blue than that, so stick with us into the Deep Hours on this one!

Today, we finish our review of every 7+ mana enchantment in Magic. We’ll cover black, red, green, gold, and one very special colorless tribal enchantment. Amidst a startling number of overpriced auras we’ll also find unique win-cons, win-more green all-stars, and some truly gorgeous art.
