Stu kicks things off with a recap of his recent doomsdayings at Manaleak, then we’re straight back to the bag of nope for cards we skimmed over (ahem, missed) in #MTGWAR. Also Stu reveals his fears that #MTGMH1 will ruin legacy. Is he right? You’ll have to listen to find out what the bag says…
Maybe we should try to do some episodes in between set releases, eh?

This week, we take a look at Ixalan, the latest set release, through the lens of the legacy format, from pirate stompy to….. whatever the dinosaur equivalent will be! We also tackle such existential questions as does being a wizard or soldier take up more time? Why is Sinbad not a pirate? Also – EWOKS!!

Hi Guys!
Caleb Durward has some concluding thoughts on the banned series:
http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/legacy-weapon-concluding-the-banned-series/
Why not consider running a banned tournament at your LGS?
Hi Guys,
There were a few extra Death & Taxes tidbits that didn’t make it in to the show notes for Episode 26.
Firstly the name:
Death and Taxes – The most-referenced deck in terms of, “Legacy deck names are stupid,” this deck began its life on the Legacy boards of mtgsalvation.com, and was created by a player with the handle “Finn.” From Finn’s original post, dated August 31, 2006:
“’Taxes’ refers to the disruption provided by the choice of tricks, as you can delay or even ‘turn off’ elements of your opponent’s strategy while your creatures deliver damage. The specific taxes you levee can be arranged to suit your metagame, and should be tailored for it.”
So, the name specifically refers to the taxing effect of the disruptive creatures in the deck (which at one time included Glowrider), and the creator (who is also known for naming a deck “Dirt”) decided to use a common phrase that’s tangentially related as the mantle for the deck. It has nothing to do with “There’s three things guaranteed: Death, Taxes, and White Weenie.” That was a misconstrued adaptation added to the deck later on.

Newer Cards
Spirit of the Labyrinth and Brimaz, King of Oreskos have been popping up in decklists every now an again. Spirit can restrict the ability of combo decks to cantrip, and makes brainstorm practically useless. However, it can be quite fragile given the high density of creatures that trade with (or just plain beat) it in combat. Brimaz is a 3 mana threat that acts in the “beef” role. Again, if Tarmogoyf or similarly-sized creatures are on board, then Brimaz can be out-classed. But on an empty board, or when pressuring planeswalkers, then the extra tokens can be helpful.
If you’ve played with these cards, let us know how you’ve found them.
We take a look at the top decks and players from the recent GP in Paris, as well as examining the top 5 influential cards over the 2 days. We also maintain an air of smugness about our predictions from last week, and look forward to the win a dual at Worcester.

Bye guys!
Congratulations to Stu T for finishing in the Top 4 of the 2013 Bazaar! After a gruelling two day competition, he was finally defeated by Shahar Shenhar in the semis ( only the world champion you know!!! )
Look out for our debrief in the next episode. Over the coming days, we’ll also be posting a few photos and maybe even a super-bonus-episode live from the Bazaar itself!
In the mean time, you can check out coverage of the event here.
There is also a feature match of our intrepid hero somewhere on the interwebs. If you know the URL, please let us know by email so we can put up a link.
Bye guys!
