Hello and welcome to the Homebrew Magic podcast!
This week we're talking all about the changes that have recently been implemented to MtG Arena over the past few updates.
Is the Mastery Track cool? How badly did they botch its initial implementation? Did they do enough to fix it? Does Schnell even know what the hell Arena is? Are you excited for the new Arena-specific Historic format? All that and more in this week's episode!

Hello and welcome to the Homebrew Magic podcast!
This week 2/3 of the crew comes to you live from The Game Dealer in Two Rivers, WI, while Nelson records live from his office at home!
Pre-release weekend for Core Set 2020 has come and gone, but that doesn't mean we don't have things to say as you prepare to play and draft this set! We also give you some thoughts on how Standard may be impacted down the road, too.

Hello and welcome to the Homebrew Magic podcast!
After a bit of a break due to scheduling issues, we're back!
We've got a little bit of everything for you this week, but we really spend time focusing on the merits of core sets being regular releases, along with what we like and dislike about core sets and the functions they serve.
Nelson gets a little too excited and wants to talk Commander 2019 before Core Set 2020 is even released, but does that honestly surprise anyone? We didn't think so either.
Be sure to check back next week when we review how Core Set 2020 pre-release weekend went for each of us!

Hello and welcome the Homebrew Magic podcast!
This week, 2/3 of the crew are fighting colds and allergies, and Schnell tries to not infect the rest of us with the plague!
In addition to discussing what we've been up to in Magic lately, we take time this episode to discuss the War of the Spark novel written by Greg Weisman, you can find it here: War of the Spark Novel
We also preview some of the cards we're most excited for from Modern Horizons, at least before we've gotten to play with the set. We'll come back next week with our first impressions from pre-release weekend.
