Season 10, Episode 24: Weekly Roundup (ft. Emiliano Sagasti aka Mordeka1ser)
Sspecial guest Emiliano Sagasti aka Mordeka1ser joins the cast to discuss the first batch of previews from Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. Three cards already look to have the right skills for Modern (Consider, Champion of the Perished, and Wrenn and Seven) so this set is sure to be a banger. We also pick Morde’s brain about his journey as a brewer and competitive player, including his 12-0 run in a 400+ player Modern Challenge with 5c Niv-Mizzet. Digital Magic aspires to be a global game, but the view can look very different from Argentina.
This week also heralds the return of the Brewers’ Choice, where our listeners choose the card that we will feature next. Ten cards are on the ballot this time around, which you can vote on by joining our patron Discord. We talk through the strengths and weaknesses of each card as we see them, but it’s up to the people to decide. What would you choose?
