Temple of the False Pod: Recent Episodes
Andy Stocker, Bruce Richard
A Magic: the Gathering podcast where we discuss casual aspects of both 60 card/kitchen-table and EDH/Commander formats. We're here for the stories, so come and join us at the Temple of the False Pod, where our decks aren't optimized but our plays sure as HECK are fun.
Andy talks about the failures and successes of his first deck on his own. The Vampires! The Mana! The Landbase? (Whoops.)

There are many reasons to use a specific creature to head your deck. These are the reasons not to. Be smart about it.

We got so caught up with so many things, Standard rotation came and went, and well we didn't go over what cards we were excited were leaving standard! These cards can find fluctuations in price, but not for long, so grab them quick. We figured we'd combine it this year with our deck building exercises, and here are the results.

So Bruce and Andy are now bringing you some fantastic cards from M21. The core set to end the current era of core sets. Let's be honest. These are some mind-blowing red and green commander cards

During the height of the pandemic, Wizards doubled down on product output, so there were inevitably cards everyone missed (for one reason or another). Some cards we would consider staple-worthy. In this new series, we start with Ikoria and tell you some of our favorites we know that we might've missed.

As always, our fifth episode of the season is based around cards that were printed before 8th edition and are in less than 2000 decks on EDHrec. So obviously shoutout to Scryfall and EDHrec, great resources for looking at cards. And shoutout to Bruce and Andy for choosing some great additions to any white deck.

Andy and Bruce discuss what they like about 2 color decks and what are better about other combinations. Are they easy to build and easier to have fun with?

It feels like we've come full circle with this deck, which is fitting because Yennett is a creature that had been broken for the longest time and with time, reputation waned, and Bruce started this deck back when we first started the podcast! While this deck can be honed and crafted, there's something nice about having a somewhat modular deck, where you can slot in different odd cards for each other.

It's not necessarily about making it smarter faster better stronger. It can be about morphing a deck to do its job better, especially in the context of your own meta. So check out this week's episode where we break down why you would upgrade your deck, or in some cases never upgrade it ever again.

Last season, we finished the color pie for underplayed Enchantments, so now we move onto SORCERIES! Starting with Green and following the following rules, we talk about some cards we found stuck between the couch cushions:
-
First Printing must have been prior to 8th Edition
-
Must be in under 2000 decks on EDHRec
That's it, babbeeeyyyy! Enjoy these sweet cards! Buy your singles at: yourfavoritecardstore.com/falsepod or at your Local Game Store! I'm sure they'd love to know why you're looking for these random Green Sorceries. Tell them we sent you.

In this episode: Bruce and Andy discuss concepts. These concepts relate to the ideas behind decks, whether it's their purposes, how to build to that purpose, and what to look for when becoming inspired.
So grab a pen and paper (or in Bruce's case, the notepad app), and let's talk about deck ideas and where they come from. (and also apparently stinky gas?)

Sometimes you build a deck and it makes you realize something about how you want to play Magic. Sometimes it makes you realize that deck is not that thing. Whether it's overly oppressive or has too much stack-manipulation, Bruce and Andy talk about some specific decks they wish they had left alone.

Bruce and Andy have been noticing for years that their playgroup tends to shy away from overlapping commanders. Is this the norm? Why does this happen? Is it good? It it bad? Is it just a normal consequence from having a consistent playgroup? We are not the arbiters of this topic, but it's just an interesting thing we noticed. Let us know your experience!

Andy brings in his partner's deck to show off, the wonderful array of undervalued cards. Admiral Beckett Brass can be a powerhouse or a stanchion in the way. Grab a flagon of ale, roll up your pant legs and set to sea on this ship we call "the Temple"

We have a completely reasonable discussion based on the timely (and now not-for-sale) Secret Lair drop from October, but mostly (and completely) the Stranger Things cards. Find some cool interactions with your favorite group of meddling kids (and drunk cop) and hang out with your favorite podcast hosts!

With yearly rotation past us, it's that timely tradition to check out what could fall into obscurity if we're not careful. Bruce and Andy pick some of their favorite cards that may start to see more play in Commander (and other casual formats) as prices wane, even slightly. As always, buy real estate. Good lands are good forever.

It's October, which means Zombies galore. We picked a very cool dude from Dominaria to represent us in our journey into our fifth season. We wrap our fourth season up with beautiful 60-card decks all based around the man, the myth, the not so great Legend, Lord of Tresserhorn.
We'll be back November 17 for season 5!

Crackin' open a nice cold deck tech as we head into the Autumn! Bruce brought in a deck that shares a special place in both our hearts. There's much laughter, stories and Green creatures in this episode. All things you want in a great episode! Nissa, Vastwood Seer has stuck around a while, and will likely continue to live on in infamy!

As with every season, we discuss some hidden gems of the giant ocean that is the EDH card pool. This week we each picked 4 Blue Enchantments to bring to the table, to store in the treasure chest. We hate on green a bunch, but what other color does that as well as Blue?

He's come on the show to discuss everything from cube to Mishra to his new decks that follow an interesting train of thought. Ever wonder what would happen if Red-Blue was not so... "Izzet" and charged? Well, Andrew is working on it! He's got some great ideas in the coals, and we're excited to hang out with him again!

Andy has never built a true spell-slinging deck, so when he opened Prismari in his Silverquill Prerelease pack, he thought he'd give it a try. How'd he do? Well, you tell me! (I think he did pretty well, but my judgement might be clouded)

We always seem to have a non-four number of players, and it always creates a moment where we need to decide how to proceed. Four is easy, play some EDH! But five? six?! SEVEN?!! What do we do? Well, there are some fantastic options to not only include the players who would otherwise be sitting out, but to have a change of pace over the Free-for-all nature of your average game of Magic.

Basic lands are one of the first things you learn in Magic, and because they're so, well, basic, they're easy to take for granted. We all do it, and it's time to sit down and stare at them. Metaphorically of course. This week we talk why you're probably running too few (spoiler, it's because of duals) and what makes a good basic land.

There are cards out there that you will put into any deck you can and sometimes not even realize it. They are your pet cards, and those cards are what give your deck personality. These are just some of Bruce's and Andy's. What are yours? Reach out to us!

The Beginning of the game can feel so fast and powerful, as you have access to a full mitt of cards, and throw down your ramp one after another, but did you know there are downsides to playing like that? Bruce and Andy think it's smarter to take it slower and lie in wait as the attention is elsewhere.

Andy brings another of his hobbled-together decks, but this time in a color he normally doesn't play. Raff Capashen plays heavily on opponents' turns, so you know there's going to be some silly nonsense going on. Andy goes deep into how and why he wants this build to work so badly. (And you know there's a big metal creature causing all of this mess)

With the advent of platforms such as Spelltable, Webcam Commander has become easier and more accessible, but there are some flaws that can't quite be ignored. Bruce and Andy break down why even when the format was being saved, they couldn't wait to just play EDH in person. Will they play with a top-down view going forward or return to grubby pizza fingers and enjoyable crosstalk? Find out in this episode of Temple of the False Pod.

This week, as we wrap up season 2, we put on our creativity hats and build some decks around an eccentric theme!
It's May, it's getting warm out, we thought it'd be fun to break out the grills and cook up some Barbecue themed decks. From the sand between your toes to flipping burgers, we have thought of everything to get anyone looking to chill under the sun ready. While Andy took a scenic approach, Bruce took a planned perspective. Put your feet up, crack open a cold one (whatever that is for you), and apply your sunscreen, BABEYY. Summer's almost here, and these are some decks you won't want to miss.

We take some time to address the tutor problem. What the tutor problem is, is when do you play them, if at all? Are they too good? Should I just run another land instead? See, tutors allow you to use your entire wealth of resources (your deck) to find a specific answer, and that's pretty cool. Bruce and Andy? We're not that cool. But it's more complicated than that.

As always with our deck techs, it's less about what's in the deck and more about how it was made, what it's trying to do, and tell some stories surrounding it. Bruce, this week, brought to the table, a doozy of a deck, one that creates tales every time it lands on the table. Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer was not only a card Bruce helped preview, but one that stuck to Bruce's imagination like Phyrexian oil onto Karn's foot. Come for the fake ad, and stay for the stories.

Building a deck is more than just slotting in cards into a template. It's knowing how things work in your meta, it's knowing your budget, it's figuring out HOW you want to play Magic: The Gathering. Building a deck, especially a commander deck, is more of a thought experiment and an exercise in decision making than trying to find the best cards in any given color combination... unless that's what you want to do, then do that!
Bruce and Andy talk about their differing and similar strategies in one of the most intricate processes surrounding the game of Magic. Let's build a deck together and let's have fun with it!

That's right, everyone's favorite segment, where we dig up some treasure, is back! This week Andy and Bruce talk about some powerful Red Enchantments that rarely see play.
The rules:
While some mechanics are garbage and rarely see play, some mechanics see too much play because as the pool widens and deepens, they find themselves gaining traction and having more power to play with. Bruce and Andy talk about both of these kinds while trying to figure out the sweet spot that makes new mechanics, good, bad, or just plain goofy. Like the dog. Goofy, I'm sure will be part of the Magic Universe in the next ten years, right? Anyway, here are some keywords, Extort, Vigilance, Annihilate. LEARN.

Being one of the Brawl preconstructed decks, doesn't mean you can't build it into a sweet and stylish EDH deck, in fact, it just makes it that much easier! Andy discusses and shows Bruce how fun it can be to build some of the easiest style of deck (equip/voltron and tribal). Remember folks, it's not about optimizing the deck, it's about not thinking too hard about what goes into it. Imagine the possibilities for what equipment could have been in this deck. Let us know on Twitter what you would put in this deck for the fun plays.

It's easy to get caught up in conversation and forget about the game, and well that's not wrong to do. This is a social format after all. But there are things that can make the game smoother and more enjoyable when it comes back to your turn! But, also, continue having your conversations, it's why we're here after all. Bruce and Andy dive deep into their favorite pastimes during their other favorite pastime, Magic(of course)!
Remember, there's no wrong way to take not your turn, but be considerate.

As we close our first season, we bring you our first deck building challenge! The theme (surprisingly not intentionally topical) was germs! We were to both separately make a germ tribal/theme deck and see where we landed without any cross-consultation. These decks were not meant to be refined or focused in any way, just on theme and fun. Linked below are our lists, and if you have a list you'd like to share with us, you can reach us on twitter (@falsepodmtg) or by email (falsepodmtg@gmail.com)
We will be taking two weeks off as we get season two of Temple of the False Pod ready for your ears! We'll be back on 3/10!

Bruce and Andy sit down and talk about the nuances of everything from faking holding up a counterspell to holding onto that last land card in your hand. Looking from the perspective of someone who doesn't know what's in your hand makes it seem much easier to get away with small bluffs, but be careful! Could you be in big trouble if you bluff too much?

Bruce and Andy stumble across a cursed sealed pack of Double Masters that they feel compelled to open and examine. They have a blast doing it, and know you'll love hearing the niche treasures they end up finding. It's an even chiller episode than normal!

This week, we tackle one of Andy's favorite decks of his (and one of Bruce's least favorite to play against). We discuss how it was built, what is going on thematically and why it can be unfun to play against. Is this deck against everything Bruce and Andy stand for with regards to how Magic is played? Of course not! But we're going to discuss how to make it better, and what steps have already been taken!

After some careful consideration, Bruce and Andy discuss the ins and outs of what Professional, sanctioned-by-Wizards EDH/Commander League would look like to them.
It's a nuanced discussion about prize support, new bans and power levels becoming out of control. Just kidding, we talk about about hanging out, personality-based content, and making it work through a pandemic. We discuss why we would think it a good or a bad idea (and how these ideas might even already be working, though not sanctioned by Wizards)

Time and time again we see some cards get ALL the play. Today we want to bring a few cards to the forefront that we think aren't getting enough play compared to how fun these cards can be! Today, we discuss specifically black enchantments in this special episode. There are a few ground rules we set ourselves, that can be flexible, yet give us guidance in finding some of the most forgotten treasures that have been lost to time.
-
Each card must be in less that 1000-2000 decks on EDHREC (we haven't come across any over 1000, but we're flexible, it's chill)
-
Each card must be first printed before 8th Edition. (Most of the cards have never been printed afterwards, but we will surely see some that have gotten more recent reprints as we dive deeper.)
That's it! We found some truly spectacular pieces of cardboard, and we can't wait to share them with you! We understand they may not be for all decks or even all playstyles, but every card we chose deserves its song to be sung. Sound off with your favorite black enchantments, we'd love to hear from you!

We were faced with the age old question when Commander Legends came along of "Do we buy boxes? Do we buy packs? Do we just buy the singles?" Well, needless to say we never expected to wait this long to draft our most anticipated set, yet. So what do we do? What do you do? All these questions (kinda) answered, here at the Temple of the False Pod.

This week at the Temple of the False Pod, Ol' Buzzbark pays us a visit, and we talk about the not-strictly-legal Unmander deck that Bruce has been playing and updating for years. It's full of silver-bordered nonsense and loads of dice!

In this episode, we praise the variant play-style of Planechase! From ramping to infinity to herding goats, Planechase adds a bit of chaos and a WHOLE LOT of fun to any game whether it is EDH or just a casual 60 card game. Witness big plays and more here at the Temple of the False Pod.

Welcome to Temple of the False Pod, where our decks aren't optimized but our plays sure as HECK are fun. In this episode, we discuss some of the stories that shape what the EDH format (and Magic: The Gathering as a whole) means to us. Using the recently released Commander Legends as a springboard, we jump from tokens to wombats to some unlikely big plays. We talk about our white-whale card combinations.

Hey Everyone, Andy here.
We've been working hard through November and December to bring you the first season of Temple of the False Pod, and I'm proud of what we've produced. We recorded most if not all of this before ANY official spoilers started for the brutal set of Kaldheim, so if you're wondering why we're not talking about those cool Gods, new frames or that one particular card, well, that's why.
Just wanted to give you a heads up because over the next ten weeks, a lot will change in the scope of Magic, and we're just goofs excited for Commander Legends.
If you would like to reach out to us, you can do so by finding us on Twitter @falsepodmtg, or I'm @andyweekend everywhere on the internet, and Bruce is @manaburned on Twitter.
This is both of our first podcasts, so we're working on the kinks, but it would help us immensely if you liked, subscribed, or left us a review. We will be releasing new episodes every Wednesday, so barring any technical issues, you should be able to find us where ever podcasts are found.
Like you'll hear plenty of times every week, we're Temple of the False Pod, our decks aren't optimized but our plays sure as HECK are fun. Thank you so much for listening and hanging out. Enjoy the show, and may your fifth land be the temple.
