The cast is interrupted by breaking news: Magic Online events have been suspended so the whole system can be fixed. In the wake of the disastrous weekend where the Magic Online Championship Series and a Pro Tour Qualifier both crashed on Magic Online, the community reacted badly—will the backlash from taking Magic Online down to fix it be worse? The cast is in rare form tonight, and there is a lot to talk about. Could a lack of faith in Magic Online create buying opportunity? And with Merfolk in general and one Merfolk in particular looking dominant, what is the play with Commander decks? Which cast member gets his own percussion section background music? Who has a hard time taking a compliment? (It’s not who you think.) Who is blindsided by pick of the week despite going last? Find out the answer to all these questions and more on a valuetastic episode of your favorite podcast that will have you asking, “When did they get a website?” Join us for Brainstorm Brewery.
