This week, Gerry cruelly goads Bryan into an episode of mono-hot takes. Is the stack empty? Is capitalism a shining beacon of truth, ensuring that only the best products get made and sold? Is Alchemy the best format in Magic? No… but we’ll talk about it all anyway!

The Discourse Episode

Some members of the podcast found themselves glued to the Pro Tour throughout its runtime. Other members found themselves trapped in a never ending purgatory above international waters. But all the members have plenty of opinions on the Pro Tour's return, the state of the Pioneer metagame, and when it's appropriate to forgive and forget.
