  • Lhurgoyfs are a tribe totally unique to Magic, and they have a long and winding history. We’ll begin our journey in the depths of Magic’s Ice Age, and then take you on a weird Odyssey with a cycle of surprisingly competitive bad cards. Then of course we have Tarmo-daddy himself, and his rash of offspring right up through the present day.

In this episode we rate, review, and ban-analyze every card in Magic that has bananas in the art, flavor text, and even oracle text. We had an ape-solute blast putting this one together, and we hope you enjoy it too!

  • Our card-by-card review of Betrayers of Kamigawa (with an eye, as always, toward building a Kamigawa cube) continues into blue. Today’s episode may best be summarized with one word: ninjas. Okay, there’s a bit more to Betrayers blue than that, so stick with us into the Deep Hours on this one!

  • Today, we finish our review of every 7+ mana enchantment in Magic. We’ll cover black, red, green, gold, and one very special colorless tribal enchantment. Amidst a startling number of overpriced auras we’ll also find unique win-cons, win-more green all-stars, and some truly gorgeous art.
