Austin made an archive of Gatherer comments (re-gathered.com), so of course we had to find the eight LEAST notable cards and spend a solid hour talking about them.

... all four of them.
Today we're reviewing every single Orgg ever printed. Weirdly this iconic creature type got a lot of love in Magic's first decade—even a TV commercial!—yet we haven't seen a new one printed in over 20 years. In today's episode we talk Orgg lore, such as it is, competitive play history, cool combos, and art. Our last card is an all-time nostalgic fave for Austin, so buckle up for some half-remembered childhood misplays.
Cool links!

About TIME we covered this... Today on Clock Spinning, we crack open a virtual Time Spiral booster pack and take another random stroll through Magic history. We'll talk art and lore vibes, cube-ability, mechanical excellence, and generally spiral off on tangents.
After Ravnica saved Magic, Time Spiral followed hot on its heels with one mission: Try and kill it again. Easily any super-fan's super-favorite set, Time Spiral was dense with complex mechanics, callbacks to cards famous and obscure, even Magic's first bonus sheet. That made it catnip for many enfranchised fans, but a turnoff for casuals and newbies. But those latter group are wrong, and Time Spiral is better than Ravnica. Join us to see why.

Today on Clock Spinning, we crack open a virtual Ravnica: City of Guilds booster pack and take a slow walk through Magic history. We’re talking first impressions, art and lore vibes, playability in their day, and the memories these cards _dredge_ up.
All this live, on air, totally blind to what cards comes next. Tell us what you think? Is this Experiment Kraj or... some other kind of Simic experiment, one that worked? Do you have a better Simic analogy for this episode? Let us know, please. Seriously.

Lhurgoyfs are a tribe totally unique to Magic, and they have a long and winding history. We’ll begin our journey in the depths of Magic’s Ice Age, and then take you on a weird Odyssey with a cycle of surprisingly competitive bad cards. Then of course we have Tarmo-daddy himself, and his rash of offspring right up through the present day.

John Avon is Magic’s Master of Mana, Baron of Basics, and Lord of Lands. He’s illustrated fully 7% of all basic land arts ever printed, and among them are many of the most iconic basics of all time. We share our pick for #1 Avon basic land art for each type, and talk about what makes Avon’s art so effective.

Clock Spinning is going bananas this week by talking about--you guessed it--bananas! In this episode we rate, review, and ban-analyze every card in Magic that has bananas in the art, flavor text, and even oracle text.

We’re back to Kamigawa for Betrayers green. And sure, some of the usual Champions themes are here—snakes, soulshift, heartbreakingly poor rates. But we’ve got some surprises in store: An art conspiracy theory, a surprising amount of lifegain, and some hidden EDH roleplayers.
