Travis and Ted return to help James and Cliff celebrate nearly 10 years of MTGFastFinance with a rambling and raucous back and forth that ignores our usual format entirely. Thanks to all the listeners for spending a decade helping us make and save money for the MTG community!

MTG Fast Finance Ep 500: 500th Anniversary Celebration!

"B&R" parody (beat titled "Fix Me" by TunnaBeatz)

Lyrics:

Turn 1, I’m gonna cast an entomb
I’m gonna bury an Atraxa
Cause the Archon too cruel
Reanimating the inanimate, albeit too soon 
the endgames in legacy happening all on turn two

i’mma flip the top 10 and then i’mma piecemeal ‘em out
artifact, enchantment, instant, creature, sorcery, wow
how has wotc decided that this somehow allowed
every game is always done before it gets off the ground

on the forums where i’m seein’ all these hefty complaints
players pissed mostly at hasbros’ capitalistic constraints
Refusal to ban daze because of horseshit made up
Pillars of identity; imperpetuitous rut

Urza’s saga as a mantra?
Orcs and One Rings galore?
Nadu(de), just combo ‘em, just race to the floor
Bottom out the format til the only thing we have left
Is an inquisitive student learning of wotc’s neglect

Disrespectful lines; that fuckin’ inkwell leviathan 
Deep format knowledge; something we should admire and desire when FIRE
design maligns us entirely
everyone just tossin’ snowballs; look holistically, honestly 

Cori-cutter, it don’t stutter, just cast shit into flurry
or you could one ring into one ring, two-for-one’s; call the jury
These cards are guilty, they’re all filthy, bunch of piggies in slop
Time to clean this shit up, Karn should wish for a mop

Turn 1, I’m gonna cast an entomb
I’m gonna bury an Atraxa
Cause the Archon too cruel
Reanimating the inanimate, albeit too soon
the endgames in legacy happening all on turn two

i’mma flip the top 10 and then i’mma piecemeal ‘em out
artifact, enchantment, instant, creature, sorcery, wow
how has wotc decided that this somehow allowed
every game is always done before it gets off the ground

so we let all these problems beatdown the format to pulp
over and over these B&Rs catapult only symptoms; swampcycling’s victim
It’s like you lack any wisdom 
You even play legacy since the Millenium shifted?
Do you even know what our experience is
Libraries flipped by spies and Cephalids?
Every tournament feels like wotc’s cheap petty theft
“Good games, I guess,” said the players who’ve left. 

Turn 1, I’m gonna cast an entomb
I’m gonna bury an Atraxa
Cause the Archon too cruel
Reanimating the inanimate, albeit too soon
the endgames in legacy happening all on turn two

i’mma flip the top 10 and then i’mma piecemeal ‘em out
artifact, enchantment, instant, creature, sorcery, wow
how has wotc decided that this somehow allowed
every game is always done before it gets off the ground

How has Lorwyn-Shadowmoor changed since our first visit? We're digging in on major highlights from the Planeswalker's Guide to understand how the world has fared, and what aurora-evading trickery awaits on the twinned plane. To close our discussion, we indulge in a healthy dose of story speculation for Lorwyn Eclipsed and the finale year of this arc.

MTG Fast Finance Ep 501: Avatar Previews Wrap Up

We continue to delve into the past of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor in preparation for Lorwyn Eclipsed, and this week we decided to take a look at the flavor gems of a block (or two, depending on who you ask) that came long before the Vorthos Cast existed! We talk about the cycles, standout cards, and our cast favorites from Lorwyn, Morningtide, Shadowmoor, and Eventide! And, of course, a little speculation on what might return in Lorwyn Eclipsed.
