Episode 93 of The Memory Jar, a Magic: The Gathering podcast about the cards, decks, people, and stories that make Magic the game we love.
This week, we catch up to The Lost Caverns of Ixalan and all that it offers. Dinosaurs, Vampires, Pirates, Merfolk, Gnomes, Bats, Skeletons, Fungi are the tip of the iceberg. You also have to care about your artifact count, how often you explore, your Caves, and the number of permanents in your graveyard…and when they’re put there. This set is like making a drink by putting in a little squirt from every station at the soda fountain. So…does it taste good?

This week, we visit the city of New Capenna and Magic’s latest set. We talk about the story, mechanics, references, cards that are now obsolete, and of course the nonsense.

This week, we look back at the original Kamigawa block. What was the story? What were the themes? What were some of these cards (okay, seriously, what were most of these cards)?!? Despite being overpowered in general, these sets did contain many powerful cards for traditional constructed and some EDH staples.
This week’s Random Card: Whisperwood Elemental! Let’s manifest!
We also talk about our philosophy for playing Commander, and Christian’s defensible decision to lose a game. Bonus: Tombstone Stairwell story!

This week, we’re joined once again by David Lyford-Smith! He’s back because Modern Horizons 2 is a wild set with a billion mechanics that seems stolen from our deepest fever dreams. And who better to talk about it than the creator of The Magic Bracket? We go deep on some of our favorite designs, ancient Magic lore, the best flavor bites, and the tiny tweaks that make the set so fascinating. Expect a huge helping of Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar! And of course, we name the set’s Secret Reach and Tongue Twister cards.
Plus bonus speculation: What will be the next card in the Healer’s Flock cycle? We finally got the just-right Gargadon, so when are we getting an average Werewolf? Which is the next “Young Xmancer?”

This week, we look back at the year that was...2005? That’s right - totally recorded on December 31, 2005, this episode looks back at a wild year for Magic. Bannings! Ninjas! Something called a “Ravnica?” We talk about our favorite decks of 2005 and make predictions for the next fifteen years of Magic.

This week, we flash back to the Kaladesh block. Kaladesh Remastered’s appearance on Arena got us nostalgic for the not-really-so-long-ago days of Energy, Vehicles, and cards being banned in standard. Good thing they don’t have to do that anymore! Also, Christian compares Stronghold to jazz?
