Planeswalkers Anonymous

Welcome to Strixhaven

Planeswalkers has rejoined the podcasting multiverse but last week we hit the ground running with Strixhaven. This week we're backing up to talk about some of the current events and the sets we missed during our hiatus. I'm sure we've missed things. If you know of something we should cover, write to us at PlaneswalkersPod@gmail.com !

News Roundup

This week, the Planeswalkers encountered a cryptic message from beyond. Our brother texted us to ask a question. Something like: It looks like all the Magic pros are freaking out! So, what's going on? That question sparked something of an interesting conversation and we decided it might be something for the podcast. If you haven't heard what's happening in the upper echelons of MTG we'll bring you the news and if you have, well, we can tell you our opinions. 
Let us know what you think by writing to PlaneswalkersPod@Gmail.com

MPL Apocalypse

On the Shoulders of Giants!!!! This week we're bringing back our series in which we revisit the best of the content that the net has to offer about Magic: The Gathering. This game has been around a long time now and people have been pouring out wisdom about it for over 20 years! Since we know you can't keep up with it all, and some of these articles are getting a bit long in the tooth, we bring back the most influential, useful, or entertaining articles and discuss why they belong on our list of the best the community has to offer. Join us, this week, for an episode about Stuck in the Middle with Bruce by John F. Rizzo, writing for Star City Games. You can suggest articles and other content too. Email us at PlaneswalkersPod@gmail.com

Stuck in the Middle with Bruce

This week we've got an extra long episode! The Planeswalkers are diving into Modern Horizons II by opening up the card image gallery and discussing the entire set. We don't hit every single card but, with 313 cards in the set, there are enough cards we do have thoughts about to keep us going for over two and a half hours!

Midnight Hunt(ing) Mechanics

As soon as the decks for Worlds were posted Magic players started building them and testing them for themselves. Now that we know which decks have come out on top, and with a recent Standard rotation, the Metagame has started to settle down again. Don't worry. Crimson Vow is just around the corner to shake things up again; but, until then, we've got the metagame breakdown for you on Planeswalkers Anonymous. Check out the links to get some visual aids and listen for the detailed breakdown. If we left out your pet deck, write to us at PlaneswalkersPod@gmail.com.

Midnight Hunt Metagame

This week is Halloween! So, we didn't acknowledge that at all. Not even once. I hope you all have a fantastic Halloween, though!

Play Style and Philosophy

"'The time has come', the Walrus said, 'to talk of many things...'" and the time has come, once again, for Planeswalkers Anonymous to continue our series of On the Shoulders of Giants! This week we're highlighting a different kind of article. Our OtSoG series has generally featured strategy articles that teach you how to play. This week our subject doesn't teach you how to play but did change tournaments forever. Find out more by listening! If you have any questions or comments let us know at PlaneswalkersPod@Gmail.com.

Prerelease Primer

This year WotC is pushing sets out really fast! We can hardly believe it's already time for a new one. In fact, last week I totally forgot that we needed to be doing a mechanics episode for the new set. So, this week you get a mash up episode. We talk a little about the new mechanics for this set and then we start looking the cards over and talking about all the ones that interest us. With this big a topic, not to mention cramming in another topic also, it's a long episode. So. buckle up and come along for the ride. If we skipped a card you liked, let us know at PlaneswalkersPod@Gmail.com.

Creating A Fearless Magical Inventory

It's been a while since we've complained about bannings and WotC must have known I was getting restless. I'm a Magic player, afterall. I need something to complain about or the world just doesn't feel right. So, the last couple weeks there have been some bannings and we're starting to see significant changes for Alchemy. Listen to catch up on the news and find out what we think. Let us know your thoughts by writing to us at PlaneswalkersPod@gmail.com.

Magic Cards and Cajun Gumbo (ok, no gumbo)

It's our first week on our new biweekly format and we're still getting the hang of things. Luckily, we didn't have to find something to talk about.

Rotation Fixation

Planeswalkers Anonymous is a Magic: The Gathering themed podcast inspired by the similarity between hobby and addiction. Your hosts know we're hooked on that cardboard. If you or a loved one share our obsession, Planeswalkers Anonymous is here for you. We won't rehabilitate you; but, we will have a lot of fun bringing our listeners news about the game, the community, and events as well as discussing the latest in established decks and new rogues. We hope you'll join us by listening in and sending your own thoughts to PlaneswalkersPod@EngineWithin.com.
