The Best Deck MTGGodlfish Doesn’t Want You To See | EP.157
While Julian seems to be stuck in a slump, and Kai Top8s another tournament, Callum tests the physical boundaries of the format: born a meme, (almost) living the dream after a 4-1'ing a Legacy league, 14-Beanstalk Cascade is his new weapon of choice that turned out to be much stronger than expected. Grab the decklist below and find out whether Ardent Plea is right for you. We also find out why all of us, and we mean ALL OF US, are resolving mulligans incorrectly, and why Julian thinks the rules might actually want to be changed because of it. Oh, and did you know that MTG Goldifsh actively hides one of the very top-performing Legacy decks from ever appearing on their website? This and much more on today's show! 00:00:00 You Are Resolving Mulligans Incorrectly00:22:30 Best Decks of The Last 4 Weeks 00:27:00 MTGGoldfish HIDES this Top3 deck 00:32:50 Kai Top8s Hannover 00:46:30 Showcase Challenge on FIRE! 01:06:50 LEGACY Cascade Beanstalks is Legit https://www.reddit.com/r/MTGLegacy/s/CrBgzYeMrR https://www.moxfield.com/decks/CPFq1H8xI0GMHlFrD5jZ1w https://www.reddit.com/r/MTGLegacy/s/CrBgzYeMrR Thanks a lot for tuning into today's show!

ASK YOURSELF: Is Your Body Ready For Soul Cauldron? | EP.156
Kai just right onto the cast after a devastating run in his last league, and the rest of the hosts to what they were trained to in the face of such inadequacy. With that out of the way, we look at specifically why RUG Delver has been one of the most popular homes of Up the Beanstalk lately, and why we just can't get enough of that Canadian Threshold vibe in Legacy. Callum then unleashes the beast that is various, nefarious flavors of Agatha's Soul Cauldron and why your body needs to be ready for Phyrexian Devourer's scheduled, once-every-5-years hot week in the format! 00:00:00 The certified worst player of all time00:10:30 Kai goes 3-0 with a 15-year-old deck 00:23:20 There are two Canadians inside of you00:30:00 The Sawatarix Scale of Playability00:32:50 Up the Beanstalk in RUG, but why?00:43:40 SOUL CAULDRON COMBO!everyday-eternal.compatreon.com/everydayeternal Troll Delver Video (legendary!)

Why Kai Daze’d His Doomsday In Italy | EP.154
4Seasons Bologna is the cathedral of eternal Magic, where we practice our religion called Legacy. Returning from our third pilgrimage, the crew reflects on what was a very different experience this time around: all three of us were doing commentary during the European Legacy Masters, skipping Saturday's big side event for it...mostly, as Callum the madman was actually juggling both roles. Tune in for many stories of railbirded Win-and-In matches, and find out how UB Scam massively underperformed, and which flavors of 4c Control were dominating the top tables, along with some sweet Artifact spice! 00:00:00 Julian Almost Gets Scammed00:11:10 4Seasons Team Trios Review00:23:30 Why Kai Counters His Own Spells00:35:40 4Seasons Top Table Stories01:06:10 ELM Commentary Experience & Results01:26:00 Quickest Preview: RUG Beanstalk European Legacy Masters Top8 4Seasons Legacy Main Event Top8 RUG Beanstalk, the next big thing?
