  • We're making ROOM for Duskmourn this week as we get ready for the format to drop on Tuesday and reflect on our experiences in Early Access and Pre-Release Weekend. The Teeter-Totter is flipped with us walking back a lot of takes from last week, getting lower on Manifest Destiny...errr...Dread and much higher on Rooms and Eerie. Plus, lots of over and underperformers to discuss and the return of the post-credits blooper!

  • Welcome to the Duskmourn Crash Course! We're here to give you everything you need to know about the cards and strategies that matter in Duskmourn limited for your pre-release weekend!

  • Another preview season is upon us and we're scared...of how fun this new format looks! We take a look at the new mechanics for Duskmourn as well as all the signpost uncommons that have been previewed so far to give us a sense of what to expect from this limited environment. Plus, we try to peg top commons, shout out some busted looking uncommons, and have our longest "Great or Garbage?" segment EVER!!!

  • Bloomburrow is getting ready to hibernate for the long winter ahead and so it's time to wrap-up the format with 50 Takes! Let's get 50 minutes on the clock as we review the winners and losers of the set's mechanics and archetypes, big talented hits, and some otter misses. Plus, the return of secret reach, the Golden Egg and Imperial Oath Award winners, and much more!

    Sponsored by BetterHelp

  • As Bloomburrow winds down, your hosts take the opportunity to look at card evaluation in the era of Play Boosters. How do the new packs change how we evaluate cards and what leaks can we shore up in the ways we personally are looking at cards before a set comes out? PLUS, Ben drops a hot take and cooks up a proposal for a new way to grade cards moving forward and Ethan is ALL IN!
