This kinda felt like rambling, but what is podcasting if not a little rambly from time to time! RogSi is the hottest deck on the block and there's so much more to know than how the deck works: what's a good matchup? What's a good starting hand? Does turn order affect how the deck performs?? All things we talk about today! Hopefully you find some nuggets in the episode that help you understand the deck better!! Let us know what we can do better! Thanks for listening and supporting the show! You're awesome!! Cheers!

Menace flexes his noggin muscle and breaks down Shalai and Hallar on this week's cEDH Breakdown!! The Naya Machine Gun is BACK!! After the banning of Mana Crypt, Dockside, and Jeweled Lotus, S&H gets another chance to shine since a few slots have opened up. It's incredibly exciting to be able to return to decks after the bans to see what is potentially viable in today's meta!! Menace also talks a little about the Tanooki Secret Lair deck; 20 Ways to Win. It's a product that WotC produced, that's for sure!! Anyway, thanks for listening, supporting, and sticking with us! You're awesome!! Let us know how we did in the comments!!

WE'RE BACK AGAIN talking about THE GITROG MONSTER this week! We run through the loops you're likely to see, likely to play, and likely to win with as you build and learn how to play the deck! There are so many good and goofy lines of play that have been established that make this deck too fun not to play!! Let us know how we did! Cheers!! You're awesome!!

While we might drag on Wizards of the Coast for their perpetual embodiment of the Slowpoke meme, we felt it would be fun to brew up one of their most recent Universes Beyond creations: Storm, Force of Nature!! Menace has a lot of bad ideas and Flash is here to bring him back down to Earth. We also make a case for Wandering Archaic in the every evolving meta that is the PSB era!! (Pre-SpongeBob Era) If you like what you're hearing, make sure you subscribe and stay tuned for more! You're awesome! Thanks for listening!!

Ever wonder what DOOM looks like?? Well, in the new meta it looks like a totally chill Frog Noble Wizard who suspiciously has DEATHTOUCH??! On today's episode, Flash and Menace breakdown GLARB, CALAMITY'S AUGUR as an incredibly efficient engine that hyper-focuses DOOMSDAY as a win condition! The deck is super rad and you're going to want to listen to hear some of these lines! Thanks for listening and make sure to subscribe for more! You're awesome!

What a time to be alive... Ahhh. Yup. It is definitely one of those times. A time of all time. Spongebob, a loss of identity, arms dealers, combat, and rotten foundations are all part of today's episode as we unravel the announcements from this past weekend! What direction is the game headed in?? Where are we going?? Are we just going to go along for the ride? At what point is the title "Magic: The Gathering" just a title and no longer representative of the game we love?? All questions to be answered! Maybe not today, but eventually I'm sure.

We'd rate this episode a 10 out of 10 if it were a Dr. Pepper. That's about all that you need to know! Except for maybe... Flash's love for Horror Flicks of the 90's, Menace finally gives Six the respect it deserves, and RogThras has become one of the most resilient Temur Turbo shells. We break down what makes this seemingly outdated so deadly in today's meta as it climbs the charts!! Be sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, drink Dr. Pepper, and STAY TUNED for more MoxStars content!!

Like the testing crew for MH3, you don't have to read this before it goes into production! Nadu, Winged Wisdom GOT BANNED in Modern this past week and that has the MoxStars thinking.. "When is the ban hammer coming for Nadu in Commander?? In cEDH?? Does it deserved to be banned in Commander?" We'll also breakdown Nadu, Winged Wisdom as a competitive commander and lay down some of the strategies that you'll see while Nadu is still legal. The lines are straight forward and Nadu is always a Shuko away from running away with the game! That's what we're talking about on this week's episode! Check it out and let us know how we did! Also let us know if you like our new look!
