        I really enjoyed that, thanks. And not just the grammar nonsense. Vintage non-nonsense was also good.

          Thanks for doing this guys! It wS highly enjoyable as always. I'm always excited when a new episode goes up.

          I am also intrigued about Eldrazi tribal. I wonder if a lot of people will play it at champs in an attempt to top 8 as well as qualify for the non-powered prize.

            Hey guys! I really enjoyed the cast, very entertaining and informative 🙂

            I'm very curious about the BUG deck you talked about in one of the segments... does anyone have a list they could post? I've been wanting to play a Null Rod BUG list for sometime and haven't had the chance to in the current meta.

            Keep on rocking!!

              Hey, here's the BUG deck Josh played. He and I built it at Nat's table the night before. It's based on my Champs deck from last year, which in turn was heavily based on Justin Becker's list from (I think?) NYSE that year:

              Creatures (12)
              3x Deathrite Shaman
              3x Snapcaster Mage
              2x Trygon Predator
              2x Baleful Strix
              2x Gurmag Angler
              
              Control Package (16)
              4x Force of Will
              3x Mental Misstep
              1x flusterstorm
              2x Cabal Therapy
              1x Null Rod
              1x Dismember
              3x Abrupt Decay
              1x Crucible of Worlds
              
              Draw Package (10)
              1x Ancestral Recall
              1x Brainstorm
              1x Dig Through Time
              1x Ponder
              1x Treasure Cruise
              1x Time Walk
              2x Painful Truths
              1x Demonic Tutor
              1x Jace TMS
              
              Mana (22)
              4x Verdant Catacombs
              1x Misty Rainforest
              1x Polluted Delta
              3x Underground Sea
              2x Tropical Island
              1x Bayou
              1x Swamp
              4x Wasteland
              1x Stripmine
              1x Mox Emerald
              1x Mox Jet
              1x Mox Sapphire
              1x Black Lotus
              
              Sideboard
              3x Grafdigger’s Cage
              2x Nature’s Claim
              1x Engineered Explosives
              1x Virulent Plague
              1x Dread of Night
              1x Tormod’s Crypt
              1x Forest
              1x Ravenous Trap
              1x Abrupt Decay
              1x Dismember
              1x Murderous Cut
              1x Null Rod
              

              I watched most of his games and we talked about the deck after. We agreed therapy was bad and would cut it. I'd like to see a third Strix, that card is great right now. JTMS was also an underperformer. I might try -2 therapy, -1 JTMS, +1 strix, +2 thoughtseize right now and see how that plays. I'd also like to play a Malicious Affliction, maybe in the sideboard over the murderous cut. Snuff out would also be fine there. I think Josh just found a Cut first so that was that.

                lhc I think you also mentioned to me once that you were looking at jamming in a 4th Deathrite at some point.

                The Vintage format lives on broken cards, and I see no reason why there shouldn't be broken cards that benefit my particular deck of choice to an inordinate degree. I mean, that's only fair.

                  Thanks so much for posting the list Ihc! I really like the looks of it! I'll be throwing it together in paper (and hopefully on mtgo soon).

                    I just finished this yesterday and I really enjoyed it.

                    I genuinely hope to remember the singular form of Eldrazi: Eldrazo.

                      These podcasts are fantastic. Loved the caveman lawyer reference at the end.
