  Zeta Disaster Fractured Reality

  Sep 14, 20261h 11m

  Reality Fracture has properly debuted and the set looks STUNNING! Unfortunately, Wizards of the Coast cannot help but marr the beginning of preview season with controversy. Secret Lair Zeta Set was a self admitted DISASTER of a Chaos Vault drop. Connor and Wyatt discuss the failings of the Zeta Set release, the problems with the current Secret Lair Formula, how Zeta Set allowed Pauper format panel insider trading allegations, and how Zeta Set could live again and be successful. They then dive into all the fun new information about Reality Fracture, explain the new mechanics, and talk about their favorite new cards previewed!

  The Hobbit is Everything a small set SHOULD be

  Aug 10, 20261h 9m

  The Triumvirate of idiots give the full set overview of Magic the Gathering's Hobbit Universes Beyond Set! We discuss the set mechanics, dive into some of our favorite cards, and maybe make a silly little goof about a hobbit and his hole. We also discuss the 60 new to Magic designs coming in Mystery Booster Commander Edition (with some of my own first hand experience), and give a quick wrap up discussing the Wizards of the Coast President stepping down, a new head of Secret Lair, and how Hatsune Miku may save us from the limited print run nightmare that has been Secret Lair for the last few years!

  Star Trek First Contact

  Jul 20, 202654 min

  Star Trek boldly did what no set before would do... do a set reveal like two sets early and put a hollywood actors whole face on Sheoldred the Apocalypse. Connor & Wyatt (TypicalGeminiMTG) dive into the MSRP, the booster fun, the set mechanics, and even discuss the highlight of the full set of 10 Shocklands being reprinted! We also recorded right before Magic Con Amsterdam, and right before all the fun reveals happening there for the Hobbit, Reality Fracture, and the 2027 set lineup so you'll have to wait for the next episode for that!
