We’re back!
Happy New Year dear listeners!
We leap into 2018 with a longtime friend of the cast, Callum Smith also known as Whitefaces on MtgtheSource and Magic Online.
In this cast we take an in-depth look at the new Miracles lists that Callum has helped to pioneer and examine the strengths and weaknesses of these “topless miracles” decks. We also look at Canadian Threshold, a deck which Sean and friends have been carving up the tournament scene with here in Australia and around the world.
