Temple of the False Pod

Friend of the False Pod: Andrew Magrini and the Diametrically Ravnican Project

We have a guest! And he's our very good friend, a person who has taught us so much about the game, a person dedicated to every aspect of the game, and who is always coming up with new ways to freshen up the game to make it more fun. You may know him, he's everywhere, IT'S ANDREW MAGRINI! 
 
He's come on the show to discuss everything from cube to Mishra to his new decks that follow an interesting train of thought. Ever wonder what would happen if Red-Blue was not so... "Izzet" and charged? Well, Andrew is working on it! He's got some great ideas in the coals, and we're excited to hang out with him again!

Slinging Spells Twice as Fast - Galazeth Prismari Deck Tech

Andy has never built a true spell-slinging deck, so when he opened Prismari in his Silverquill Prerelease pack, he thought he'd give it a try. How'd he do? Well, you tell me! (I think he did pretty well, but my judgement might be clouded)

Incorporating the 5th or 6th Player

We always seem to have a non-four number of players, and it always creates a moment where we need to decide how to proceed. Four is easy, play some EDH! But five? six?! SEVEN?!! What do we do? Well, there are some fantastic options to not only include the players who would otherwise be sitting out, but to have a change of pace over the Free-for-all nature of your average game of Magic.

Basic Lands are Not as Simple as You Think

Basic lands are one of the first things you learn in Magic, and because they're so, well, basic, they're easy to take for granted. We all do it, and it's time to sit down and stare at them. Metaphorically of course. This week we talk why you're probably running too few (spoiler, it's because of duals) and what makes a good basic land.
 
WELCOME TO SEASON 4! We're quickly approaching 1k downloads! So help us out and share with friends, and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

A King and A Queen Walk into a Bar, One is a Sphinx - FINALE DECKS

It's like Battlebots but with decktechs instead! Bruce v Andy in a head-to-head, on-theme, glorious battle. But they don't play them here, they just talk about them, which is just as fun! This season the theme is: MONARCH. (The only restriction is no Queen Marchesa or Jared Carthalion as the commander) 
Decklists!

Gotta come up with a better segment title for these finales. Any ideas? Reach out via email (falsepodmtg@gmail.com) or on Twitter! (@falsepodmtg)

Do You REALLY Need 40 lands?

Yes. But still listen to the episode! We talk about land quality and why 40 specifically (if not 42). We talk about our favorite land of all time! We have a SPECIAL GUEST! It's all a very great special episode of Temple of the False Pod

These Cards are the Cat's Meow

There are cards out there that you will put into any deck you can and sometimes not even realize it. They are your pet cards, and those cards are what give your deck personality. These are just some of Bruce's and Andy's. What are yours?
